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

well my OEM cover on this thing has taken a turn for the worse. its been 3 years its been on the car and it finally started to just get demolished.

im looking at a california car cover, better for exterior storage. i would also like to note after pulling the cover off i really really really started to miss this car. i actually washed goldy today and it put me in such a better mood.

im actually going to shy away from the VW i think and finish ordering the parts to get this car back on the road. :thumbup:

Pretty much. I deff want to go back to red. I keep seeing red hatch's and I miss the red.

I'm in the air about the 96-98 sir conversion still, but I'm not worried about that now.

As for the motor, k20a is what I want. Been wanting that motor forever. I could go a little cheaper rsx-s motor and people say the k24a is a great all motor engine but I'm stupid and addicted to the k20a. Unless people start to rattle off some really good prices at me.

Bay will be tucked and a few holes will be cleaned up. I don't think I'm going full shave... Who knows, less filler the less prone to cracking.

I want a fun weekend card that I can take to the shows and meets. I'm not a drag strip fan at all. I like taking hard corners and fun spirited drives.

i been pricing parts. i miss this car far 2 much to let it sit any longer.

once works picks back up for the spring/summer expect some massive updates. GOLDY will be making a triumphant return. If i can bring my vision to life a new nickname will be needed.
But first on the list... Hybrid Racing K Series Mounts.
