Did acura just want to go cheap or what?????

 

Seats: Americans are too fat (no nice way to put that)
Lights: Probably has to do with regulations, or lack there of, IE theres no sidemarker requirements in the US like there are in Europe or Japan.

 

Sidemarkers? We doan need no stinkin' sidemarkers.

Sidemarkers are lame.

 

yep. canada didn't even get the fake carbon fiber trimmings.

 

I disagree. I think the stock sidemarkers make the car look more upscale.

 

wouldnt that be considered a good thing?

 

Marketing reasons for sure.

 

Japan dosent like us to have good stuff. Well at least honda dosent but subaru does

 

I added ek9 markers to my 99 hatch and they look killer. The clear aftermarket sidemarkers with blue bulbs are ghey though...

 

Side markers just weight too much!

 

Actually i think sidemarkers are great for safety reason. I kinda like the bimmers when they signal and Iam next to them...lets me know to either slow down or speed up to let him/her in the lane.

 

So if we list em.

1) Recarro's.
2) Side markers + Clear corners.
3) Lighter Wheels.
4) Higher Compression Ratio.

JDM get some other gear that we don't get in Australia, Like....

Better Rear Upper and Lower Control arms. We get the Pressed Metal jobs, not the nice Alloy arms. (not sure if all JDM ITR's got this the '98s did.)

Even higher compression again. ( JDM- better Fuel - up 105 Ron at the Pump)

Anything Else????

 

USDM wheels are lighter than JDM wheels.

 

it would of been nice if Honda offered for 2001 ITRs with Jdm options, since it was last year.

 

Sorry Reid, your Wrong.

JDM Wheels are approx 1kg light than USDM wheels. Check Hyper Rev.

JDM wheel is 4.5 Kgs.
