The gay charm thing was started by drifters and ive always viewed them to be a gay immature fad.Its one reason i got out of 240s due to all the slider wanna be drift charm hanging kids.
The shocker thing WAS funny but now its played out.Tow hooks are ok in my book just not on cars that are stock and look to be worthless. Stretched tires is just retarded looks like you cant afford the right size tires and a wanna be look lower cars.
Most hondas are the same thats why you gotta figure new things to do to be different. JDM is what you are and can be if you live in Japan or Import a JDM car to America. Those who claim it are just posers :ninja:

It's pretty stupid to me, why do fuck do you have a "drift charm" (dumbest thing i've ever seen on a car.) on a FWD honda?
A few years ago, I had a pair of nuts on hanging on a tow hook on my civic....a few years ago. I had it on there as a joke.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but stock civics in Japan don't have carbon fiber lips, stretched tires, and tuck 15'' rotas...

My car is not JDM nor will it be either. I build my car for my taste. Who gives a fuck what other people think about your car. JDM got played out when ignorant people started putting shit on their car and calling it JDM. I don't talk shit about anyones car unless you deserve it. There ain't a damn thing you can do over here to make your car "JDM." My car is a project in the works and it's technically my only car. Projects can be driven and don't always have to be parked. Fuck the dumb shit. Put whatever you want on your car and :2up: the haters. They don't like your shit oh well.

It's soooooo easy to make fun of Honda kids that claim their shit is "JDM", that's why we do it. A civic covered in Ebay knockoff parts isn't JDM whether it looks like it or not, and that's usually what I see on IA. If REAL JDM shit is your style and you spend the money necessary to do it, there's really nothing I can say to you.
AND GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING TOW HOOKS ARE THE BEST! I heard they're needed when a Honda breaks 100 hp....there's too much vtec to tow it normally.

My car is probably damn near the only one actually made in Japan. Later, QD.
What I think is rice:
Extremely buzzy exhaust
Huge body kit that doesn't retain stock body lines
Double stack or too tall/big wings
Drift charms (I'll let the rotary guys slide with the pistons though, thats just good ole rivalry there)
Stickers all over (shocker, DC, other skateboard fag brands)
JDM (Fanboys, JDM this blah blah stupid shit. Its what will be laughed at 5 years from now and even today lol)
Fitment (over doing it, over stretching, too much)
Just too much shit to list. There is a fine line though.

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/13/l_0ce22809180be32268e767387b34cb33.jpg
my honest opinion is that we are swinging back into a show car mentality, not to the effect it was 7-10 years ago with body kits and neons....but still the same
i.e. crazy offset wheels, "stance", wheel spacers, stretched tires, the idiotic graffiti crap, rwd styled wheels on fwd's, etc....all stuff that serves no purpose other than being appealing to the owner and others, which is my definition of rice anyway....if it isn't functional what's the purpose of it?
my last couple of cars have been nothing but functional....no turning signals, no lips, no wheels (other than the gto, which i had to do b/c two of the original wheels had repaired cracks and i just don't roll like that), no useless crap....it's all about function, make it go faster, make it turn better, etc...the rest is just eye candy that i'm too old to give a shit about anymore

Im guessing it was a KL-DE, The JDM version is a KL-ZE, which comes in Mazdas only like 626, mx6 and shit of that nature. But also had the option of the KL-DE version. The difference is the intake, cams, and compression. The KL-DE is 164HP, and the KL-ZE is 200HP.

I hate the kids who do it for image. True talent you're born with, you can tell from the start who's good. If you're a 240 owner chances are you stand by car your, make it look like you drift, and do a burnout. Most are straight posers. If you're busting your balls trying to learn, good go for it, if you're a dumb fuck kid who thinks RWD = drift you're a fucking moron.
Example: A few Athens meets ago we had these "drift" kids come, there is a lot below us where people can fuck around and the police don't care, they showed us their "skill." I truly have never seen a worse show than the one they provided. It was like watching a circus of morons.
In the end, half those "drifters" are hard parking posers with no skill and will never gain the skill required to do it right. They will blame it on a lack of LSD, lack of suspension, slipping clutch, you name it. However they will talk, dress, and attend drift events and spread their skater type lifestyle to others.
Remember the kids who wore the skateboard clothes, talked the talk, and carried a board around? They own 240's now.

I just think its funny that every Honda owner thinks their car is Strait from japan when it was built in America. I think these days jdm has a new meaning to most people. When someone says their car is jdm now a days its usually means they have tow hooks, body kits , and stickers and wings and it has nothing to do with a product being made for the Japanese market and imported here. Just becuase you buy jdm spec headlights doesnt mean your car is jdm, if i put a honda civic seat in my car it doesnt mean it is a honda.

They will blame it on a lack of LSD, lack of suspension, slipping clutch, you name it. However they will talk, dress, and attend drift events and spread their skater type lifestyle to others.
Remember the kids who wore the skateboard clothes, talked the talk, and carried a board around? They own 240's now.

If your steering wheel is on the LHD...it's USDM.

However, converting a car to RHD is the most useless, rice-tastic mod ever. It does nothing but make driving your car harder... I'm sure it's cool for the first three times you go through the Checkers drive-thru, but what's the point?

Actually there was one guy I met at the opening of Garage Zero, that green truck, he HAD to convert his because of the swap that he did, something was in the way of the steering column.

JDM is if the car was made in Japan. How hard is that to understand.
Wouldnt that technically be if the car was SOLD in japan? Since the US imports hundreds of thousands of cars made in Japan, that aren't actually sold in Japan, and therefore arent JDM because they never see the Japanese marketplace.

Everyone is doing it, so since everyone is doing it, and the import scene has become a bandwagon, they must hop on it before it goes out of style.
Like this stretch tire bullshit/hella flush/stance Era. I'll take any properly fitted rim/tire combo over any of those stretched tire cars. I'd love to see those pos's go around a track.

It's the common name for a lip made of garden edging or garage door lining. I've done it before, lots of race cars do, it's more of an air dam than a lip.
