after thinking i wouldn't win anything, i did manage to snag 3rd place in best of jdm which was surprising. but overall the show was weak, our crew had by far the nicest cars and most of the other cars were pretty much rice. well here's a few pics.

YUMMMYYY

what SHOULD have one best of show


enjoy sorry if i'm posting in wrong area

 

What do you have in your car to get you 3rd place for JDM?

 

jdm recaro's, jdm non srs steering wheel, toda headers, kakimoto n1, spoon wheels(they're considered jdm i guess), mugen this and that, i guess if it's hard to get at any import shop they consider it jdm. i think mostly the seats and steering wheel gave me an edge.

 

H emblems and Spoon wheels?

 

What car won best of JDM?

 

didn't know spoon rims and a mugen front strut bar makes someone JDM

 

Congrats on your 3rd place Your car is VERY clean

 

Wow "headers" You have a V6 in there too! I could only see the one !

 

very clean ride man ...got any interior pics?

 

i'm sorry, but this thread just makes me phucking laugh...

D

 

What size rears does that BMW have?

 

hey...this looks like it was held in seattle. I know that guy with the Yellow M3...he owns Garage SPL.

oh...and i just noticed the KUBE 93 banner. Is this inside the knew Seahawks dome?

 

Doesn't Garage SPL have a R34 GTR?

 

That really wasn't called for.

 

it's a cute car...but it ain't "jdm".

I guess "jdm" is the category for "expensive show car".

 

at least you need a jdm front end ...
but the car looks clean

 

did they have a fast and furious category too???

 

I give it a , first of all its an ITR, secondly its clean, it has hi end parts!

keep up the good work.

sicsol

 

that E36 is REALLY ugly
not sure what the car is in the last picture............

huhhh what a tough competition in the show!

 

That Grand Am is the domestic ricer wannabe dream car!

BTW '00TypeR: Nice car, real clean, and I like the parts you chose for it

I entered in Import Eurasia in Baltimore a couple months ago. I wanted to go for "Best JDM". I ended up winning "Best Acura". Marty with his very nice MUGEN bodykit'd CRX won "Best JDM". That kit is very rare.



Don't flame for me showing. I track the car every chance I get...

Thanks,

I don't get it..... sometimes I think those judges now crap of what they're doing.
If you do those conversions to your USDM R to a JDM R, it won't be an Acura anymore, it will be a Honda Integra Type R, so how come you won "best Acura"? Judges

In the case of '00TypeR, his is a USDM R and won 3rd as best JDM. Although he's got many JDM parts but, it doesn't make it a JDM like someone said already.

considering the fact that there was probably a very LOW number of 'clean' jdm hondas present at that show, it isn't surprising to see an ITR with a few JDM parts win. Considering the majority of the cars there i saw in pictures were civics with vinyl, i guess his must have stood out in some sort of way.

So congrats!

 

a jdm class? hahahha

 

i give him a because he clearly said he wasn't expecting to win anything, let alone a JDM award.
