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

Dropping the car off tomorrow for its surgery. Also thinking about changing up the color of my wheels and having them re-powdercoated. I was thinking copper brown or flat black and running gold lugs, or maybe even have them polished. Any thoughts?

Heres a link to the copper brown color I like

Or maybe even the Rootbeer color (left) or a bronze (right)

Yeah I thought it would be different too thats why I picked those two but I want gonna have time to get them dropped off at the powder coater in time so for right now I'm leaving them hyper black.

Little update on the build, went with a k1 performance crank instead on the stock sti crank and will also be upgrading the clutch. Thinking a 6 spd swap or a tranny build might be in the future now as well haha

So i got the WRX back last weekend. Got to drive it a little but left it when i went back to Kentucky. This week i decided to bring it down with me. Car is running great and it is nice to be able to drive it again. New clutch is a little tricky haha so im still getting used to that

Car made 330awhp/345awtq at 17psi for the break in. After i get some miles on it i will be taking it back to have everything dialed in and hopefully make a little more power.

Here is pretty much how the car sits now. I will be putting my lip back on this weekend. I also threw on some Gold muteki lugs, and Carbign Craft CF license plate frame.
