Sources for JDM CARS
I wouldn't think this would belong in the WTB section, but if it does...go for it.
I'm not actually looking to get one...not yet, anyways, but what/where are some good sources for checking into them and buying them? I'm not looking to get one from a private seller, and again, I'm not looking to buy...just wanna see what's out and such.
Only places I know of:
NADAuto.com (Gwinnet)
Actually, I know of only one place for the full car...the other place I was thinking of is clips/parts only.
Thanks.

for parts try www.passwordjdm.com ....just do a net search for JDM parts and you should find a bunch a sources....
You know better; next time will be a ban.
I know where I can find parts, thanks. I'm looking to see whole cars, though. Just doing some research...
Thanks for your attempt, though!

What car are you looking for...
That makes a difference where to look.
Since you drive an EF I doubt you're looking for anything more then $1500...which may be hard to find.
i was gonna say NADAuto but I see you allready know about them
BUY MY HATCH <--click the link, cuz.
haha, well, I mean, I'm not particularly looking to buy one. I jsut wanna get a rough idea of what the JDM market looks like. IF I get a RHD JDM car, I won't be getting it for about 2-3 years. Just wanna go ahead and start getting a feel for it...

Yeah, I've actually been to the warehouse a time or two. I wish they would keep their site more active and up to date!

You know that motorex in cali went under trying to legalize skylines.Just wondering how this place can do it legaly and motorex could not....
if u wanna get something true JDM, go unique. Get a 1989 Daihatsu Charade
Theyre reasonably cheap, you can get one with low miles for under 1500 there and you can have it legalized, titled and streetable here for around 5k$ . IMO its a better buy than a skyline since everyone and their brother has a skyline, and performance wise its up there. Its 3.8L Twin Turbo AWD v8. Theyre insanely sick, over 300 at the wheels bone stock.
Yeah, I'm actually considering in about 3-4 years taking a little trip over there to get something. I can then use my girl's parents' military strings to ship it for a decent price. I just dont' know yet what I wanna get, but I've got plenty of time to decide.
I don't want a Skyline, though. I mean, sure, they're great cars, AWD, RHD, dooorifto madness, lotta power and lotta potential and gorgeous to look at (ESPECIALLY the R34) but as stated, so many people have it. That, and I love jap cars because of their weight. Skylines are kinda heavy, so it takes away (in my opinion) from the JDMness of it. I may as well just get a car made in America. I've got a 91 civ hatch and 88 rex si...both being built. And when THOSE are done, I love my EF's, but it's time to retire and move on to something else. We'll see in time, I just wanna see what my options are.
It runs about 5K to register it and everything in America? Dang, that's steeper than I expected. How much is it to ship one (without any kind of hookup)

Is this what you were referring to?

Kinda ugly...I'd prefer something a little sleeker like maybe an 89 Celica, the AWD model with the 3sgte...if I can find one over there by then...it'd be hard to find something of that age I'd assume. I dont' know, we'll see what I stumble across when i get there if I get there.

yeah its different ppl think its a regular civic hatch... they dont know its at least 300 awhp stock... and its sick.... u can do it yourself for under 2k but it may be slightly illegal
look it up... Those diahatsu charades are beasts. They look like a 3.8 V8 wont even fit from the outside... but its awesome how theyre engineered. 3.8L V8 TT in a small civic hatch lookin car.
I'm jus tthinking of how small a piston is for a 3.8L V8. That's gotta be pretty small...
Although, actually, logically thinking...my 1.8L 4 cylinder probably has pistons just barely smaller..
What's the bore on those things?
JDMadness ==>
dont know... they must be tiny, but theyre known for going unbuilt past 600hp
i've seen a couple 1000+ awhp built ones
u can get them fast for cheap
the 3.8 L v8 twin turbo AWD version is 1989 only j-spec version
3 years unlimited mileage??? If it was true JdM TyTe it would be 3 years unlimited kiloage or something...

Well, it's also written in english...
That car looks alot like...snap, what is it. Chevy's got a car out over here that looks alot like it..

dude i think you need to go ahead and call Bishop Auckland
Get a 91 Pulsar GTIR! Not many people have that. sr20det AWD, light as shit, about 13.5 sec stock in 1/4 mile. Plus, they are dirt cheap! That woud be the car I would put my investment, if I wanted to maintain a tight budget.
