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

too bad i just saw this... i just got rid of some precision 1000's a week or two ago.

i *might* have a walbro 255 pump laying around... i'll check in the next few days. If I do, i'll give you a good price on it if you want it :up:

meh, its 1 part, and the only reason I'm buying it from ebay is because its 3 pieces of steel welded together. If someone on here can build me one for the same or more, i'll buy it from them. I just don't feel like trying to use crows feet to put my DP on. The DC5 has a shitty location for a top mount turbo :P
