LOL. I'd probably say 'cracker' too.

It's a common expression. If you take any car model and add OTT aero kits and plaster as many stickers as you can on it, and then drive it around like its fast, it's kind of cheap like 'rice'. I don't think it is aimed specifically at Japanese cars. I've seen rice Audi/VWs/BMWs.

At least that's what it means to me. Rice = cheap or that it looked better stock. Apologies if you saw it as a geographical slur.

Wow. Cant wait for that suspension to come out, ive been debating on which coilover system to get. And with J's history I think I might be getting theirs. Can someone confirm if the rear jdm bumpers are the same as the rear? That diffuser looks sick.

well if i know j's racing..... they had two gd3 fits. a track spec that was gutted and had the k20/k24 frankenstein motor and was straight fast and they had a street version with a high compression l15 and j's racing bolt on parts. Now im sure that this is just their ge8 street version and the racing spec ge8 is still under development with its badass k20/24 motor and its stripped interior.

Nothing would be more "JDM" than having one of those in your passenger seat as you drive around.

This car definitely runs on track, I know because I have tracked several times with it and Umehara-San is a pretty decent driver. He also owns the CR-Z that is white, black and purple.

To post a pic {img}the image url{/img} instead of using {} use []

The wheels are actually 16x7+42 (+43?). Definitely not using the Showa/J"s sussy, it is using the Crux/J's. This is the car used for testing all new parts that they come up with.
