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.
Got a MINI?Don't talk to me.
FUCK your FADS
Hey, I have a Mazda tranny in my Ford ranger. And it came with it. I'm so JDM.

jdm was cool and people sought it out 5 or 6 years ago, hell i did it...spoon here, vision there, hks blah blah blah
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

BTW, Evil Goat, I'm still in love with your car.
the only thing that gets me aggravated anymore is that i love the car pictures sub forum, absolutely love it, even if i don't agree with what people do to their cars i like to see it....but i'm getting sick of seeing nothing but shots of how flush peoples wheels are, shots that are all about tucking their tires and crap....noone cares whats under the hood or in the car anymore, it's all about how flush the rotas are
there are only a handful of guys who still take pictures the right way.....

Just out of curiosity, why does everyone hate kids that want to drift? I've yet to understand that. I get the drift charms in a Honda being stupid, but I've seen hundreds of threads and posts about people hating on the upcoming talent. Yeah there is a time and place, yada yada yada, but at one point, every professional drifter and stunt driver was doing the same thing. As for the dumbass OP making fun of a Subaru and rally? Go suck a cock.
Not trying to start shit, this is a serious question.
My Mazda MX6 had a replaced motor from Japan.. it said Ford. No lie, I have a picture too. So my Ford motor was ... "JDM"?
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.
LOL @ haters
Lolol @ the overuse and misuse of the word "hater." Later, QD.

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.Just out of curiosity, why does everyone hate kids that want to drift?

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.
^--Lolol.
That not only goes for 240's but also AE86's. 9/10 of them would suck Keiichi Tsuchiya's dick give the chance.

jdm is a style chosen by some narrow minded people who cannot except other routes that other people have taken their ek honda civic....
american tuners couldnt create their own shit so they jacked jap's style, and are over using it and giving it a bad name now
how sad

Just like Got Milk said, this is an internet forum, you posted it here, now take your beating. Btw-ur car is dookie.
Sorry Echo...FAR from "JDM".My version of JDM, yours may vary depending on dosage amount.
If your steering wheel is on the LHD...it's USDM.

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.
lol @ negativity....the new hate( since that shit only means envy all of a sudden)

Made in japan. But I think the radiators are now made in Malaysia.
i know that there is a honda plant in the us of a, but the roots are japanese... so like anyone born in the us of a that has a foreign back ground, ie (african american ) a honda built in the us of a is realy a japanese american.....lol

but a Honda built in America for Americans is not for the Japanese people so its not jdm
See finally I get a good answer! That make much more sense now. Thanks and +reps.
i'm just fucking around.... i don't give a fuck . i just like to build and modify cars

No problem babes!
Yeah fuck rice and jdm, I'm into whatever makes a car look good, whether is a bodykit or lip, etc.
How ever you can make it look good, go for it.
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
Exactly.
It's also however you can make it look good TO YOU.
Not mine anymore, I got rid of it.
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?
To impress other guys! Duh!
Do you also think it's funny when that Honda owner is right? Later, QD.

Well every Maxima made until 2004 was built in Japan and shipped to the US for sale, so mine was made in Japan too lol, but its not JDM, just good ole Japanese quality lol
Not sure about now but most early Scions and Yaris were made in Japan and sent here.
I can't believe that this shit got to page 4.
What is JDM?
It's a market.
If your car was not made in Japan, IT IS NOT A FUCKING JDM car, NO MATTER how many JDM parts you put on it.
jdm usdm who cares! just build your car to your liking and let others do their thing!
