So I’m still moving JDMLove in that new direction all of the time. I have complete the design and have moved into the front end coding. Get a sneak peak. Comments, suggestions and ideas are always appreciated.

Taking JDMLove In A New Direction

After much consideration and watching the site languish I think it’s time to move JDMLove in a new direction. I don’t have enough time or really the desire to continually keep up with posting new articles and as a result the site has become stale and hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. The JDMLove flickr pool however has been a huge success and is wildly popular! It’s with that I am finding that people have more time to just post a simple picture to flickr as opposed to wanting to write quality content for a blog and I think that’s fantastic and has leant inspiration for a new direction.

The plan is to move JDMLove off of wordpress and onto Tumblr. I want to try and set it up as a community site where fellow tumblr (and maybe non-tumblr members) can simply post a picture with a brief caption. Tumblr has a wonderfully simple and intuitive authoring interface which members can post straight from their iPhone! So if it all works out like I plan, contributors can simply snap a photo with their iPhone at a meet and post it immediately.

Tumblr also supports various forms of posting from text posts to audio posts. With such a wide variety of post mediums I hope the page will stay fresh and provide the content I was hoping the blog would.

I’ll post up designs on here as I go and those who do read or visit are free to comment on them. I’d also like to give a very special and sincere thanks to the authors who did contribute here, it wouldn’t have been even worth it without you! And thank you to the readers, I hope you follow the progress as we move over to Tumblr!

Feature: 1999 Subaru STI Version 5

As my first post here, I thought I might as well introduce myself and my JDM Subaru.

I first got into japanese cars when I sold my truck and got an old 1987 Toyota Celica from my Dad to commute to work. It was amazing how fun that car was on the turns, and even on the gravel roads and hills. Right at the same time, the 2002 WRX’s started showing up in dealers and I knew I had to get a hold of one of these. I bought a ‘02 WRX Wagon and have been a certified subaru fanatic since then. I am now on my 5th Subaru, and the first one that is pretty unique due to being a JDM car.
