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

Usually just the forums or eBay :/

Got the car started last night. Runs like total poop, so gotta tweak, but this is the first time the car has started in years. :D

Just drove the car for the first time today in over 3 years. Turns out the polarity was reversed on the cam and crank sensors which was causing my issues with drivability. Water pump is leaking so I have to addres that (stupid me for not replacing it when I did the timing belt). Also have to figure out why I have no instrument cluster functionality. After that it's all just buttoning up. Thinking about plasti dipping the car.

So when I drove the car back in Nov I had some coolant flow issues, replaced the GD coolant reservoir with a proper EJ20g reservoir, found and fixed a kinked coolant hose, and got her flowing right... Progress!
