JDM Rice Test

[FujiBlueSi]

I saw this on a Prelude forum and thought it was hilarious:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you MIGHT be a jdm ricer if:

your steering wheel is on the left
you refer to your civic dx hatch as a "CTR"
your civic dx hatch is "type r yellow"
your airbag no longer works because of an aftermarket or jdm steering wheel
you have a JDM steering wheel on your LHD car
you think "city lights" are useful
you drive around town using only "city lights"
you claim "city lights" can serve as fog lights
you have black rims (steelies do not count)
your car is an automatic
your 5 lug conversion cost more than your car (or comes close to it)
you have jdm ANYTHING on a coupe
you refer to your 4 door as a 'ferio'
your exterior and interior look bangin and could be mistaken for a CTR, but theres still a d15 under the hood
your "beater" could smoke your "clean jdm ride"
you have "jdm" taillights which cost more than their usdm equivalents
you have a 'jdm' front lisence plate
you laugh at cars with wings that are faster than your car
you laugh at cars with altezzas that are faster than your car
you laugh at cars with bodykits that are faster than your car
nobody notices your jdm front or rear end
usdm taillights could be easily modified to look "jdm" but you spent a ridicilous amount of money on the real thing anyway
you bought "CTR" headlights
you took the trouble to DIY black housing headlights, but left the amber reflector in there
you have amber corner or bumper lenses that are not stock (i/e full amber corners)
you think amber looks cool or matches your car in any way
you think ambervisions are JDM
you realise they arent, buy apc clear corners, and swear you had them imported
you sold your honda for an early 90's 4 door toyota corolla and try to be like initial d, not realising only some corollas were RWD
you spent more on amber corners than clears would have cost
you have spoon or mugen performance parts on your stock d series engine
your spoon or mugen performance parts cost more or come close to the cost of your engine swap
you use takata harnesses for your stock seats
you have gunmetal hubcaps
you have a jdm gauge cluster
you claim you bought your jdm gauge cluster for its tach
you have an "SIR" cluster in your civic dx
you bought a genuine "SIR" emblem
you associate "clean" with JDM
you associate "JDM" with clean
your jdm front end is not painted
your RHD conversion cost more than your car
you daily drive your RHD car
at toll booths you have to get out and walk to the left to give em the money
you bought coupe doors for your hatchback so you could have power windows
your hatchback or coupe weighs more than a 4 door
you refer to your swap as "jdm" even though the block clearly reads B16A1, B16A2, B18C1, B18C5, etc
you have a B18C from a gsr but tell people its a type r
your jdmed out civic hatch with mods costs more than an integra type r
you use JDM chassis codes when referring to USDM civics (i.e. EF instead of ED for 88-91 civics)
you insist that you are still right when given the correct USDM chassis code
jiffy lube cant figure out how much oil to put in because every factory honda label on the underside of your hood is now in japanese
any of your exterior or interior mods cost more than a useful engine mod
you spent so much on jdm exterior and interior mods that you are still rocking the stock stereo system
you have a JDM stereo that doesn't read domestic CDs & doesnt get any AM/FM stations
your windows are not tinted because it might not be JDM
you asked on a popular car forum which was more JDM, clear or tinted windows
your muffler comes out the back of your car at a 45 degree angle
your muffler also points upward in addition to the 45 degree angle
you have a stock exhaust from a CTR on your civic dx.
your helms manual is in japanese
you have an "option2" sticker on or in your FWD car
that "option2" sticker is on your bumper at a slanted angle right where the exhaust is
you have a rollcage but have never been to the track or autox
you have "H" emblems on your integra
in addition to "H" emblems, your integra still has a usdm front end
you have "integra" emblems on your RSX
your 94-97 integra has full amber bumper lenses and you have NOT done a 98-01 USDM conversion
you have amber sidemarkers
you claim bad camber helps you drift
you claim your suspension setup is "badass", upon closer inspection all you got is eibach 1.5's on stock shocks
you rear ended someone, and drive around with a ****** up jdm front end instead of putting your usdm front end thats in your garage back on
you get a flat tire and have to call your buddies to bring you a spare because your interior is gutted

P.S. I have now made it to Senior member status! Hooray for me!

hey. I must admit that some are just too ridiculous. But some are not. Some of the things are not rice and are just nice. And what's wrong with calling it an FG or EF? I'm laughing (yes, I have some humor.) But hey, I like JDM license plates. Makes it look different. But anyhow. I'll still give you a bump for the time and effort that was put into making this list. Funny tho.

i don't agree with all of them either but I still found it funny. I don't want to take credit for the list though, I saw it on another forum.

[furryferret7888]

[dannyamr]

[ameuba10]

you claim bad camber helps you drift

thats the best one!

[coupe_de_grace]

lmao funny shit..

[07Rredsi]

Some things were funny. But overall seemed like someone who just really hates the term JDM. What forum did you find this on btw?

[megahurts]

LOL! can't believe I read it all. some of those were really good.

[MBK]

mbk is best

"you took the trouble to DIY black housing headlights, but left the amber reflector in there"

That's technically me, with my Volvo. I painted the actual housings black, while the corner areas were still chrome/amber. What kind of rice is there in Sweden?

[MBK]

it is finished

[zetarin71]

hahha most of those are so true

[mattsbobo]

"you spent so much on jdm exterior and interior mods that you are still rocking the stock stereo system"

If they were REALLY JDM fanboys, the would have bought the radio delete plate.

[SNABBS]
