Finally got around to posting this but my car was sold August 2009 and is now back at home...

in Japan.

Everybody knows that USDM is the **** and left hand drive is HELLA rare!

I'm willing to bet this might be one of the first USDM ITRs in Japan.

Doespike could you be so kind as to update the registry please?

 

tight!!

 

car looks good,dum question but did they ever make py in japan

 

they did, called it sunlight yellow but same paint code

 

What are the Japanese reaction to a USDM R?

 

The buyer said that the USDM front end and left hand drive was cool because it was different and rare.

It's the same reason people put JDM fronts on their integras and import RHD integras in the states.

 

that's so awesome haha, caR looks really good too

 

Did you sell it to that guy that throws those USDM Jams over in Japan? Or did the new owner just stop by that guys shop? I think I saw those picture of that shop a while back. Crazy how the USDM craze is going on over there.

 

The grass is always greener on the other side of the pond. Cool stuff!

 

I'm not that active on H-T, so the new owner might have even posted up on here after he got the car.

He did find me on H-T when the car was listed in the Marketplace, so it's quite possible he posted a thread about picking up the car and I missed it.

I do know that the guy that picked up my old car is in the import car scene and I think he even owns an import/export business for performance parts, but don't quote me on it.

 

haha nice !

 

You are right. He runs a shop for mostly USDM parts in Japan. IIRC his name is Takeshi from Type K Autosource. He has a great thread on NWP chronicling his trip to the US and back to Japan with the car. Really a cool story.

 

That thing is "SO USDM" There's probably some awesome post on a Japanese forum about seeing this rare find there. This is the ultimate way to become BALLER in Japan Makes me wonder how registering USDM cars in Japan works.

LOL

 

SUPER CLEAN!!! keep up the good work

 

ROFL I wonder if they Japanese ITR thread would have as many gay new posts from new users . . . LOL

 

Good to know, that closes the loop on the story for sure.

Where is the thread, I'd love to read it.

 

Going back to heR birthplace.

 

That's sweet. Anybody in Japan who goes from their JDM ITR to that car will realize how much we get screwed out of over here. From motor specs to seats.

 

I love your thread on NWP,I also love the simplicity of your R

 

I got your email too, thanks mang It's great to see heR travel the world again, haha. IIRC the owner also refreshed heR with tons of brand new OEM parts and a fresh paint. IIRC.

 

SICKKK MAN!

 

More pics please

 

I posted all the ones Takeshi emailed me months ago.



Yeah, you're totally right. He sent me an email a while ago telling me he was getting the car repainted, new OEM wheels and replacing the headlights/taillights as well.

I didn't think the caR needed it, but he sounded like a perfectionist when I met him in person.

I'm waiting to checkout the thread on NWP4life, I can't find it on the new site yet. get RIGHT was telling me that the site is transitioning to the new zeroforum software right now.

 

this thread is already connected in other forum ? as i have seen Phots in any other thread
