Hey, I was just wondering how many left hand drive 88-91 crx models were actually made in japan? I know most were supposedly produced in canada?

justseeingifitistaken

i know for sure 88s were made there and some 89s too.

K2e2vin

I thought all CRX's were made in Japan? Both of my 88 CRX's were "JHM" and so is my 88 Civic.

insaneconceptz

I didnt know if they all were or only some years. My fiance's 90 hatch is in canada but my 89 crx is japan.

K2e2vin

Yes, the later hatches are definitely Canada(it's either 89-91 or 90-91)

Bob_760

Both of mine are, yay!

maybe you should go to japan and count them, and who gives a **** if a car is left hand drive or right hand drive? You JDM freaks these days are just funny.

K2e2vin

He's asking about USDM CRX and Civics that were made in Japan.

Janos Lin

My 91 Si was made in Suzuka, Japan.. JHMED9363MS________ with the S position indicating the country and city it was assembled in. The S is for Suzuka, Japan.

if it was MADE in japan, wouldnt that make it JDM....

Janos Lin

No because it wasn't assembled with JDM parts and sold in japan.

so if i was to rebuild my car with parts made in japan that are identical to any other oem part and resell my car in japan, that would make it JDM, then put a jdm sticker on the door i could sell it for twice the value? Since it is JDM of course

K2e2vin

JDM=Built/Assemble for the Japanese Market, hence "Japanese Domestic Market"

There are BMW Z4's and X5's that are assemble in SC, but not all of them are for USDM. Same with this case, built in Japan but for the US Market.

You'd have to put parts that are intended for the Japanese Market(like speedometer, safety equipement, emissions equipment, and information labels, RHD, etc.), THEN it'll be "JDM"(actually converted to JDM).

If you're trying to get technical then what is usdm? no honda/acuras were made in the us, right? but anyways jdm doesn't just mean it was made in japan, as the poster above said. anyawys what's the point of this thread?

K2e2vin

Accords were made in USA(Ohio) Thing is, only the JDM CB Accords that were made in Ohio got the "Honda America" badges.

that is correct and a good example

jdmboyef9

True and it's a big metal badge (Made in America) lol

Bob_760

JDM does not = made in japan. JDM means built for the Japanese Domestic Market. It could be made in any country in the world and still be JDM... Likewise just because my 2 EFs, my FD, and my NB were made in Japan they are all still USDM...

Of course you wouldn't, you live in the states. They usually have a 1 or a J. Up here they pretty much all have a 2. Very few 1s and all crxs are J.

JDM sucks *****.

K20EF8

All the 88-91 CRXs were build at Suzuka, hence the S in the VIN position

i'll move off this continent if the states ever tried to take over. which by the looks of the presidents you guys are electing(or arent electing) it might happen in the near future. scary stuff. our prime minister isnt that good either, but still better then bush.
