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

i would go with some "JDM" stuff for the looks, like the steering wheel looks so much better than USDM ones. The thing that bothers me is the people that get knockoff mugen and spoon stuff and claim them to be real. Yeah I understand that they have expensive parts and not everyone can afford them but don't get something knockoff and claim you have the real deal

good read man.

i can fall into the 'jdm' catagory for sure. im better off going out and buying a rhd civic-r but instead i did the conversion to my usdm civic. i consider my car 'jdm' because i have japanese parts on it. i really cant argue w/anything you posted because im considered one of those kids who buy things because its 'jdm' but that only stays true if your talking about OEM. i wont go out and look for a volt gauge or something from japan because its 'jdm' but i will spend days/months/years looking for an ignition light thats incredibly hard to find...

I've always just thought of it as the "JDM Style" Nothing to get all antsy about. It would have been a better article if you took the time to re-write it, it's a little difficult to read in that sense. Oh, and as I have your attention here, I asked for your help in the RB in a 240 thread, we both have a hunger for the RB26, your's has be quenched and I'm curious if you could share some of your knowledge. It's better to write articles if the reader can't tell how pissed off you are. :wink:
