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

wow. the Si rear sway bar really helps the car out alot. its exactly where i want the cars turning capability to be. before without it i was having the rear end kick out on my durning harder corners. now it feels much more nuetral and i can feel the rear tires really grabbing the road. if and when i do up grade im going to also upgrade the front sway bar to CTR status so i can try and keep this nuetral feel.

so its safe to say that with Tein Basics, Spoon front and rear tower bars and a Si rear sway bar is a pretty good setup for entry level suspension. i still have some body roll but that can be changed with an upgrade to adjustable dampeners. i have realised though i need to have the bottom of my car steam cleaned...

i dont think i mentioned it yet but i have a 96-98 cup holder with the radio relocation spot installed now.

i also got my dual din block off plate, gas sticker, a/c sticker and Gunmetal SiR badge in the mail yesterday. ill have the block off plate done soon and ill be looking inot haveing the emblem done alittle later asi want to see if i can find either a gunmetal Civic emblem or get a new one and replace the sohc decals with stock dohc ones as well.

next check i have to think about what i want to do. i might buy a Honda Fit lip and possibly ARC cannards for the stock bumper OR look into finishing more of the Spoon exhaust by getting the Spoon b-pipe...

Image Si rear sway bar installed...
Image all my rims that arent on the car but have tires on them...
Image what my headlights look like now that i have HIDs even though they are not on in the picture...
Image a crazy close up of my front emblem... another reason i like my macro O_O
Image a distant shot of the car while the hood was up...
Image a random shot of a cactus that i thought looked cool.

hopefully soon ill have some more stuff... im in the process of cleaning my trunk by removing the emblems and installing new ones... yeah that was a great idea... took them off only to find that the glue holding on ATE through the paint... you can literally see an outline of the emblem in paint chips... im trying to fix the problem... Gunmetal SiR emblem and a new Civic emblem are going on when i get it all fixed.

so yeah this is going to take some time... i also have on order a set of dohcVTEC stickers for the sides...
