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

^^ lol well more recently its cause im useing that $700 macro for all my better shots but im finding out real fast i need a 50mm lens instead of the 100mm macro and illl be taking much better pics. the macro is good for close ups with full detail though. i have to walk FAR away to get these pics to lol like this. did you see that pic i have of my recaro?

this one... Image yeah that picture was taken with the lens sitting on the drivers side door and i was that close on the shot. O_O when i get the 50mm it will be much better.

i bought two pairs of Raybrig 194 white LEDs. im going to use one set for the licence plate lights but i dont know if ill use the second set for the citylights or the side markers. i have raybrig 194 hyper whites on the licence plate light now but i might use those for the citylights.

im debateing on getting a Japanese ITR header or not. im might just do it so i have something better then the CTR one for now. i also need to get that ASR sub brace that ive been slacking on lol.

oh and i changed out the spark plugs and the distributer rotor yesterday but ive been having the hardest time trying to find the right distributer cap. i went to acura and asked if the distributer caps were the same across all b18s and the guy said yeah but it didnt fit. when i went back and told them they realised the GSR and ITR are bigger and different. so they hooked me up and ordered me the ITR one for an even exchange since it was partly their fault even though they dont take returns on electrical stuff.

other then that not much has been going on with me.

yeah apparently certain engines need bigger distributers. i just know that the B16b is a destroked B18C5 (JDM ITR) so i figured it had the ITR distributer but i guess when i told the guy i had a Type R motor he didnt think too much on it.

so i installed those new LED bulbs and im not so happy with them. they arent as bright as i thought they would be. for the city lights i think they are perfect but for my licence plate they are too dull. ill be switching the licence plate lights back to the Raybrig hyper white bulbs i had there and ill leave the LEDs for the side markers instead.

oh and i took the wing off for the hell of it again... noticed that the car has alittle more pick up and go from a stop then before but stability at high speeds isnt as good. im thinking ill just take the wing off if i drag race and leave it on for commuting.
