I get a kick out of all the guys that run around saying, "hey, check out my EK hatch!" When it is clearly a USDM LHD EJ hatch. Or confusing their ED, or EE for an EF. The Magazines, and other media sources have really tarnished what JDM actually is. When I flip through a magazine and see a LHD CRX HF with a JDM Front clip and the magazine reads, "Check out this amazing JDM CRX!" That annoys the sh*t right out of me.

My car is an 88 HF converted to RHD/glasstop. It has tons of JDM parts and I have been building it to be as close of a REPLICA as I can, but it is not JDM. It is a USDM HF with sh*t tons of JDM flavor.

Why didn't I import one if I wanna be "JDM?" Because this car is legal to drive on the streets, and is registered legally. I could very easily import whatever I want because I am sort of "in the business" but chose not to. When I say in the business, I mean I just recently got a friend an EF9 SE, and another friend a 99 CTR. So I can get them, but would rather be able to enjoy it legally without title swapping. That's the only reason. Once the business takes off, I will import myself an NSX-R and pay to have it registered legally here. Until then, I have to be a broke ass white boy. lol
