    UndersteerKing !!!!!! Absolute LEGEND !!!!!! So humble too modest "does some archiving" he's pretty much single handedly preserving the documentation/media (videos & print)of the golden years the shaped the very foundation of tuner culture at large that the effects of which are still present today from die hard enthusiasts that know their history and either lived through it or respect & understand the importance of history & culture & all the way to kids poorly ripping off styles they don't even know the basics of, with no respect for the subcultures & rich history & even worse no knowledge of the parts,companies/tuner shops,builds, tracks, drivers & chassis' that defined an era & made the 00's the single greatest decade of all time. UndersteerKing is truly doing gods work breaking down what was once multi-hour on-toilet reading material & minimum hour long DVD's that required waiting months on end for the next issue/dvd release or on shipping from Japan broken down into bite size installments more consumable for this generations hamster like attention span he's saving countless souls

    Larry! Finally got my first jdm to start off with. It's nothing spectacular and I kinda fell in love with it's quirks after seeing it. Found a 05 Element in sunset metallic, in really decent well kept condition. High miles but I can easily engine swap it someday if I save up and plan well. Been imaging what to do, and this vid already inspired me on wheels. That teal silvia with the white advan 3 spokes.. I now want to find 17" advans in white for it! Imaging lowering it, maybe make a solid 4-500hp at the wheels, enough for a fun daily but not get out of hand? It's a long term dream, but hopefully comes to fruition one day!

    • @tinystar3010
      @tinystar3010 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So you're trying to be an elitist or something? JDM means Japanese Domestic Market. RHD means Right Hand Drive. It's origin manufacturer is Honda. It's engine is also produced in Japan and not USDM only. You can find RHD variants meaning the Element is available in its home country. It qualifies as a JDM. Now if you want to talk specifics, we can discuss whether the Mitsubishi Eclipse is JDM as it was created and designed for the American market. That's why the community calls those DSM. Now go take you're uninformed elitist bs elsewhere, thanks. The car community doesn't need it.
