E30s and JDM

[Holland]

Lol, Kronus and TDE30 have the win in this thread. I could count by hand all the proper JDM cars AND proper Euro style cars around here, sad I know.

Ahahaha :p

I believe steinbachphoto's car is basically just euro style. Analog clock, plaid interior, missing side indicators, 320i, what have you.

Just that it's imported from Japan.

[TDE30]

so what's different about the Japan model? Educate me here.

Broken English in the owner's manual. Also an absence of the letter "L".

I've always wanted to build a JDM styled E30. With the right mods and style it could be sick as all hell.

I'm sorry for being and ignorant douche but how the fuck does a JDM E30 even exist? Japanese Domestic Market, keyword, Japanese.

Or is it perhaps cuz they were assembled in Japan?

All I know is it's a Japanese market E30. This is on his car:

Most car guys appreciate a good looking car when they see one, no matter who made it.

This excludes ricey boner riders and muscle car dudes who think you need 40 litres for 400 HP.

I love a few of my friends JDM civics and integras (true JDM), and they all love nice e30s.

This statement is very untrue. I've grown up with muscle cars and still have classic and muscle cars and will continue to have them. But the muscle car guys that i meet and see, like my e30 like it alot. They usually say,that's a BMW? What year is it? What have you done to it? Man i really like that! Then some of them go as far to ask if and when i sell it, to give them the first shot at buying it.

But anyway the JDM crowd around here isn't very large anymore. I think most of them are VW guys now. And i usually get a thumbs up or a wave from them when going down the road.

[DatUtahGuy]

And if I'm not mistaken, SteinbachPhoto (or whatever his name is) actually has an actual JDM E30.

not neccesarily attention from the idiot jdm ricers but yea i get love from the oem plus guys.

JDM and Euro styling really aren't that different from each other.

It's preety much the same concept. We want parts not available to us models, so do they. Some of the more common wheels used on e30s are also used on hondas. I was a JDM guy but the e30 grew on me and never did get that s14.

[OldsCool]

i saw a few honda guys in austria and germany with some bbs rm wheels and lowered cars nearly to the floor... actually it looks good with minor modifications. "stock look, lower, wheels" <-- works on every car

but i think that idea came from the usa... and maybe some us guys saw that style on E30s :mrgreen: so who knows ...maybe its our fault that the "retro style" is becoming popular again for the jdm crowd (or maybe even the ricers)

(sry for my english, knowing 3 languages isn't always that easy)
