I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Nice work!

With the old setup, were you saying it was a twin-scroll with one blocked?

did some custom fiberglass work for my center console area... it was really ugly before with it just cut and open: Image process:
fiberglass and duraglass Image Image
i need to get a lighter shade of brown to match the steering column though. Next i will be installing the gauges into this console, and maybe a radio as well... havent decided yet on the radio. Image Image
not bad for my first attempt at fiberglass work ;)

not to bad, i would get one of those things they put next to the shifting lever(looks like a brush or the 2 thin rubber strips) and glue them to the under side so you dont see the fiberglass or down the hole.

Why not do the color tan to match the rest of the console? i think the brown, even if you went with the lighter shade to match the steerng column pops out to much. but just my 2c :up:

car looks like a blast to drive though, really starting to think about boost next year.

i am considering the tan... if you look at the first pic, you'll see the OEM color was the darker beige/brown so i was trying to match it. now that i look at it i think tan might work better.

I also want to do the brush/bristles thing, but im not sure where to find it... maybe summit racing has it for a domestic car that i can modify.

btw, i went to RIT up there in frozen tundra country... cant say i miss rochester ;)

u could probly buy some cheap-o ice scrapers and use the end with the bristles haha. nice work on the console, i agree i think the light tan would look pretty nice.
