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

As JDM as can be!!

build threads. post pics & specs & brag about your ride.

As for the CTR - I guess if you've seen one stock CTR you've seen them all. But I do think the Tenzo R back box is blaephemy.
What do you mean blasphemy?? Is that a negative comment?

Listen up Mr. Kotomile, you may consider it rice, but compare it to HKS and Apexi, and I can assure you that the quality of this 'american' made backbox is much much better. I've seen many exhaust of both the mentioned jap firms and they rust like s*/t from the inside. Rice or not, its the quality that counts + I like the way it hangs. :)

Yeah - I've never known Tenzo to make a quality part. I don't see them as pioneers or industry leaders. . . hell even product developers. . . so much as I see them as "automotive accessorizers." I know they used to run a helluva drag car back in the day, but I haven't seen much of them as far as real racing or development goes in a LONG time. That's not to knock you, your car, or your intentions. It's just I think there are better companies and better products to put on a car that you're so proud of.

But at the same time I agree with you about other Japanese brands that aren't up to snuff either. Specifically I think of APEX'i and their wonderfully sounding (but quickly rusting and crookedly welded) World Sport exhausts.
I'm not happy unless you're not happy.

Anyway, the important thing is it sounds great. See what you think of it yourselves...
