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

Pulled and bracketed my front fenders, Toyo R1R's are on order. Going to run 235/40/17 up front and 205/50/15's in the rear :) You'll see what wheel. Goodbye understeer :D

Painted my BYS lip (rep) and going to test fit my EVO 9 Voltex canards soon.

also I put a subwoofer in my car behind the passenger seat lol I've never had an aftermarket stereo so I figured I'd get it out of my system before next track day/mountain run

Selling the T3 and going with a T25, just need a few more parts to finish. Also, cutting rear bumper and making diffuser as well as front splitter. Spherical front end will be ordered soon from Weksos as well. Probably a combination of Wicked and F7 parts.

Umm, got a new duracon Tomei shift knob which I like haha. ALso waiting on my checkered sports hub. I also put strobes in my headlights for those late night kanjo runs

Subwoofer and strobes makes up for all the stupid "go fast" parts.
Nice pics, you are handy with a camera.

So, I scrapped the 17's - I didn't want to cut my headlight bracket. Bought a set of 15x8 K1's that will also be powdercoated mag blue eventually and have some 225's mounted. Have a track day on November 4th, 3 days after getting back from Japan haha
