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

somewhat MIA...

Post by phan » July 21, 2009

i came back briefly a couple months back, but disappeared again. i ran into health and family issues, not to mention having the civic stolen: Image =(

it was stolen a little over a month ago and i've been battling with insurance to pay me off for everything i have receipts for. they told me to include all my receipts and mention everything that was taken inside of the car as well (two ipods, bose headphones, gucci shades, etc), but refuse to pay up on more than half of that shit. fucking assholes! anyway...

last wednesday, i decided that for the time being, i'm going to take a break from the honda scene and move onto something a bit more...mature? here are two shitty cell phone pics of my E39 M5: Image Image not only is the car in MINT FUCKING CONDITION, but she's an absolute blast to drive. the only thing i miss about the civic is the gas mileage; 32MPG vs. 14MPG. LOL. i'll be starting with suspension and minor aesthetics, then move onto go-fast upgrades. i wouldn't mind earning enough dinan points for the badge, but those parts are fucking pricey. we'll see...

stay tuned, two friends and myself have a little ///M shoot coming up this weekend; E92 M3, E60 M5, and my E39 M5. will post pics as soon as they're done!

hope everyone is well, miss you guys!

I have an E36 M3 sedan, silver over grey, baby version of your M5. Great great cars.

Sorry about your Honda man, blows. M5 looks nice though, can't wait to see what you do with it! I kinda hope you don't just throw a whole mess of Dinan at it like so many BMW owners...

i was only considering small dinan parts just for the badge, koto. =P otherwise, i'd probably stay away as most of their parts are overly expensive and more glorified than anything. aside from suspension and maybe wheels (the stocks are gunmental, 9.9/10, worth riding on for awhile), i'll probably just go i/h/e/x-pipe...and maaaaaybe an ecu flash. haha

tench! long time, man. how's it going? and thanks, i've got some ideas as to what i'll be doing with the M5 though it may take a little longer. the money i spent on say my coilovers/asr/sway/etc would only buy me an exhaust or maybe an exhaust and x-pipe. LOL. so it'll take a bit more time, but i'll snap pictures as she progresses =)
