You yourself said you weren't gonna argue the point anymore, but then again, you just have to be right, don't you....
Also you would be paying an ass load of money to transfer it over to the states as well....
Are you happy now?
Yes, he might.... But then again, you might not considering you don't have any engine modifications and what not....SXE-10 said:

i have plenty of engine mods. and so does the intgera. its JUN built.
and yes i am happy now..back on topic!!!....
lol.... what if the competition was from japan too?..
dude...i think everyone gets your point and no it would not work. The point of best JDM in the USA is not to join the military get stationed in J-land buy a HTR and ship it back. It is to take our stock USDM cars and make them JDM. You seem like a cool guy but you are coming across as cocky and an ass so just chill out.SXE-10 said:

you cant make a USDM car JDM. u canjust put stock japanese parts on it. Its not RHD, it dosnt have the same title, etc. it will never be "JDM" . im not cocky at all, im just stating facts. i live here man. i see the s**t everyday. its all made up dude. this JDm thing dont exist!!!

if the competiton was from japan...it wouldnt even stand a chanceracing_kid_05 said:
but car shows here arent the same as they are in america. u need extensive body mods to win here.. basically crazy conversions, and s**t like that to win.
a lowered ITR with engine work wont get looked at twice. not even once actually
i mean if the car show was here with american judges and your competition was from japan or even american cars wit " jdm" conversions built buy japaness tuners?
Oh yeah, I'm a night person.SXE-10 said:
Anyway, I don't know much about shows (don't go to much) or how exactly they judge, but I'd think that in order to win for JDM that it's not just about stock JDM parts, but also JDM parts like Mugen, Spoon, etc. So if you had a USDM Integra with a JDM sqaure front (I don't just call them JDM fronts because the round lights were available on many trims and years over there too) and a RHD conversion and a parking pole and a bunch of Mugen parts on it you might be more likely to win it over the actual JDM Integra.
Anyway, if there's a stock Skyline in there there's a good chance it would win over a stock JDM Integra just because it's a Skyline and "OMGZ, it's SO fast!"
I don't doubt the Skyline would win most JDM even if it were from Europe. People are misinformed, and many might just assume it must be JDM.I think JDM DOES exsist, it's just not what *some* people here think it is. Yes, a coin pocket for your 5th gen might be called a JDM part. Why? Because, well, it did come on Japanese market cars. Does it make yoru car JDM? No, I wouldn't say that. Saying a car is JDM is usually just about a certain kind of styling. Calling a car rice is usually the same thing, it doesn't have to be taken literally though. Just like the rice isn't covered with little white grains.
