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

Well i give up on it. guess i'll just wait til you guys come out next weekend with the impact. Got more parts in from honda so just waiting on the IM and Valve cover to come in and drop this in and hopefully we can have this started when you guys come out. would suck to have you guys come out and help put this together then not be able to start it because i dont have something stupid like a valve cover :down:


Ordering wheels and tires on monday too so maybe i will have those by the weekend also :up:

yeah, stil getting the buddy clubs. only waiting til monday to order so i can talk to them on the phone to make sure they are in stock. i already know JHP has to special order if they even price match what heeltoe has for a price including the free shipping. so monday will be last day of part gathering/ordering then should be ready for spring. now just need the snow to stop falling ;)

PS, was messing around on the DMV site with custom plate comboss. They have "H23 VTEC" available as a plate combo so thinking about doing that :up:

so, need to get a couple small random things. mainly to wire VTEC. Need the connectors for the Vtec solonoid and VTEc OP Switch along with 1 big and 1 small ecu pin. Anyone think they have something like this laying around( old cut up harness or something...)

so was able to get the solonoid connector from my AC harness but i need the VTEC OP switch now. It is the same connector as the water temp sensors(green connector). other than that just need the 2 pins to finish wiring VTEC ...

NOOOOOOOOOOO. You're not going to find the pins and will have no VTEC, meaning this whole build went no where! Ahhhhhhhhh!
Just kidding. If you don't find some in the next few days, I'll hook a fellow teunar boi up.

^^ will be even funner when its done :up: was fun til i tore down the H23 BEFORE i got all the parts in to make sure this build would be done. now $800 in already kinda in between an anxious and worried state but after next weekend shold be good. Everything is ordered and on the way so the build itself should be easy. Its just the electrical stuf that worries me now...

TODA, i might take you up on that offer. Im talking to some people now and EK29K has been a huge help in this build and should be able to grab me something though. living out here in the middle of no where has really killed for trying to locate random stuf like this...


1 more week and hopefully all this will be done and can post some more update pics :up:
