importing jdm dc5r

**dannybubu** · 27-09-2008 06:26 PM

hi guys...sorry for the noobness...but are we allowed to import the 2002 jdm dc5r?? im guessing no..

Go live in Japan (Or England or anywhere else they sell them) for a year and then bring it back with you as a private import... or get a EP3R... but we all know they aren't as good looking

On a side note... the JDM DC5r isn't really worth all the "hassel". If you get a AUDM DC5R, put a full exhuast, decent intake and hondata you'll be making better figures then a JDM... then if you get some decent pads and braided lines... you have better braking... get some coilovers... you have better handling... only thing K20a has over K20a2 is the cams... but if your going to go to the extent of worrying about cams... the JDM one are tame compared to most aftermarket ones.

So really, in the long run, buying a AUDM and then modding it is going to be cheaper (and more exciting) then importing a JDM DC5R

Hope this helps out man.

+1 well said! But in the end of the day, JDM is JDM, AUSDM is AUSDM they are still different

Out of interest, how many JDM JC 5 doors are there in OZ? I'd guess a very small handful.

Why are they different?

Can you give a detailed reasoning behind this?
