ryan lang Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 had this arguement with the bro a few times, and i think i win all the time but seriously, how do you define jdm? Quote
Sanchez Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Short for "Japanese Domestic Market." This term often means paying your left testicle for a part that you could otherwise order from ebay. The term JDM has long been used to "one-up" a friend or acquaintance at Burger King car meets and the likes. By adding a JDM item to your "ride" you are instantly "cooler" than your friend's UK spec counterpart. Quote
Steve GT Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 i think he means what makes a part/car JDM lukeedit damm sanchez got there before me lol Quote
Dan507 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 if its made in Japan it's cool. if not GTFO Quote
ryan lang Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 lmfao thanks sanchez, i knew what it stood for, like give me an example of a jdm part? or doing something jdm? because alot of civic boys, have shit hanging from the tow eye which they claim is 'jdm' but then if you go to a vw meet, they've all got shit hanging from their tow eyes too, so how is it jdm? Quote
BigMan Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 as sanchez says if you want a pure jdm car you have to pay the price for it! which it usually quite a lot of money! Quote
Sanchez Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 But seriously lolJapanese Domestic Market Usually used for cars or car parts that have been imported from Japan. Quote
ryan lang Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 so its not a style then?which everyone i know seems to think? Quote
BigMan Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 so its not a style then?id say its a style to go all out jdm by certian parts etc that other styles dont use Quote
LukeSR Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I know, i was joking.. Get a sense of humour Quote
Amjad Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 The term seems to have evolved into a word used to describe nicely modified Japanese cars lol Quote
Sanchez Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 so its not a style then?which everyone i know seems to think?Well it is and isnt mate lolTechnically JDM mean car parts or cars that came form JapanBut the styling is seen as part of JDM nowadays, like all the shit hanging from toe eyes etc are usually seen by us as 'cool'so we do it.When there actually is a meaning behind it in Japan, like a car club/team etc Quote
BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 As above^^Dont try define it to death... just Japanese domestic market cars with cool jap associated shit on it and stuff.Not like...1. Must have a bride seat2. must have a takata harness3. must have a flare4. cover car in pedo bears and other 'im so cool because im JDMzZZZ!!111!!!!!' stickersit just turns gay and causes division within the car community..(although some things are best ignored left divided.... french pap first car halford backbox Fli sub douche's)Mitch Quote
Liam_D Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Them pics above made me giggle, JDM = Fucking amazingUSDM = Cool Euro = AmazingUK Spec = LOLZ!! JDM is full of win end off! Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 ^^^ agree jdm & usdm ftw Quote
bullet513 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 that uk spec car is the typical looking car around my area, such a out of date crap seen IMO Quote
series70boy Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 lol at uk specat first when i saw the 'label' if you wish that is JDM i actually wondered what it stood for..... my first guess was japanese developed modifications!!!!!it fits the bill quite nicely...... when i found out what it actually stood for i thought to myself, that makes sense!!!!!nice to see this in writing..... i have spent many hours trying to explain these things to my mates!!!!!! Quote
murryell Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 IMO its some thing that i dont even see the point in explaining to chavs with saxo's. Its some thing that, if the person you are talking to knows what they are on about with cars, they know what JDM (both meaning and 'style') is anyway. Otherwise, make shit up, bullshit and humour them to make them think its shit. have a laugh in the process and think to yourself 'stupid tw*t' whilst doing it ;) Quote
