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

Has to be weighted because it is pretty heavy. It feels great. Took me a few mins to get used to it though because it is a slightly smaller diameter than the stocker and because the ball just bolts right on. It is a little lower than the stocker which was like a ball on a post. Went out ripping around today though and felt fine. Just is a bit warm when you get in the car after the windows were just up and sitting in the sun...lol

Well since I cannot afford the turbo this year (plus all the stuff for the house) I decided to upgrade the suspension. Goodbye GF-210 springs and stock struts and stock ball joints and tie rod ends and hello H&R coilovers and Whiteline roll center kit. Time to tuck a little tire! Pics to come later this month...

H&R coilovers and Whiteline roll center kit installed. I will post more pics after I get it aligned and cleaned up early next week. Here is a pic someone with a better camera than I took....

Final suspension mod will be to replace my crappy BFG KDW2s with some Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1s next summer.
