Looks like a USDM with JDM bumpers to me.......post some pics of the interior and engine.........also, isn't the VTi series the ones that came AWD? If that is so and yours is a true JDM then post some pics from under your car....inquiring minds want to know.....

he's from peru, which is north of chile. no vehicles in south america are usdm. period. it's a lot less expensive to get the vehicles directly from japan than from the US, since you guys charge so much f'n $$$, and most of latin america has treaties with japan.

btw, i doubt he'd take the time and money to swap the bumpers, swap the mirrors, and install the sideskirts, when they are all readily available here in a vehicle in latin america.

usdm isn't everything, and countries in the same continent do get different cars....such as the honda fit (aka honda city)... it got here about 2 years ago, i test drove one last year. they're fun lil cars.

Nice Hatch!

I'd wish I'd had the "real" JDM EK3 with the D15B - too bad we're here in Germany stuck with the EDM D15Z6 engine with only 114HP ...

---

BTW, didn't he mention that he made the RHD to LHD conversion to pass the homologation ...? Wasn't there a thread in the JDM-forum?

Dude.. are you serious? lol.. it seems that everybody here loves JDM... I am personally not a huge fan of it... I think that everybody is doing it...and it gets kind of boring... but I don't dislike it...

There are alot of "new" jdm fans that make it seem like its heaven when it comes to jdm anything.

I drank a jdm red bull the other day made by sapporo. Now thats jdm.

yea, people are this board got issues with JDM. most people dont even realize that JDM is not just oe honda cars or parts but there are lots of JDM companies that makes parts for hondas. converting a RHD car to a LHD car is easier to LHD to a RHD because LHD car parts are easier to get a hold of.
