Posting this thread for a place to post your cool JDM finds, whether online or if its yours

I mean Skylines and Chasers are cool but I know y'all can do better.

show me them Stagea's, the Crowns, the Mega Cruisers

For example there isn't much I wouldn't do to obtain one of these

Honda cross road. Really just a rebadged discovery 1 marketed and only sold in japan in the 90s.

they’re apparently relatively hard too find. Where as where i am there’s like 3-4 disco 1s or 2s on market place all the time.

I did some research and it turns out that its literally just a rebadged disco. I thought they would have maybe put a Honda engine/drivetrain in it so I thought "oh fuck they made a cheap to fix disco" but nahhh. its still dope tho.

yea same with up here
 
I'm passionate about small Japanese trucks. So clean, so utilitarian, the perfect getting to the ski resort vehicle.

Forester XT 2002-2006 is the coolest JDM car and my mind will not be changed

2004 - 2008 in the USA, after that they were sadly automatic only, until Subaru got rid of the XT entirely. Took me a decently long time to find a clean '08 manual transmission XT, now almost 7 years since finding it and I'll never sell. AWD + hatchback + turbo + stick is the best combo imo

What a beuat. I had an 04. Same color. I like the styling on the later models a little more outside of the front and rear end. Best part was the speedy parts from STI's are almost all bolt ons.

Twas my first car and will always have a special place in my heart even if some of the...poor engineering choices in that engine will not. I camped in it. Offroaded in it. Raced other cars in it. Blew two turbos in it. Great automobile all around.

I actually saw it up for sale recently not too far away and almost dipped into the savings account to get her back. Would have been cool now that i'm old and actually have the finances to make the car exactly what I want.

Grandad always called it the angry toaster.

I am a certified delica enjoyer. Literally the coolest little vans ever.

I was very close to buying one when I was looking for a van a few years back. I went with a Ford TC at the same price cuz I thought it'd be more reliable....man was that a mistake

Those old Foresters were basically the same as the Impreza platform if I am recalling right.
 
Not like the other cars in this thread but this one goes so hard. Need to pimp an MR2 like this so it's glued to the ground

Absolutely love kei trucks. I want to own a Honda one and never go over 60kmh but look sick doing it.
 
It's a bike but the postal Honda Super Cubs are sexy. Even if they're just barely more powerful than a scooter.

Or the Mitsubishi RVR. 3 door hatchback with a sliding side door, AWD, and basically a Galant VR4 under the hood

Those were sold in the US as the Eagle Summit wagon. I looked for one for quite a while.

Wow these are both beautiful. I am looking for some on marketplace unfortunately I’ve missed 2 that were kinda sold out from under me. Im looking to build it up a bit. Just put some nice touches on it due to me being in Highschool. And not having much money. Foresters are just so sick in my opinion. Sound so nice if you do it right too. Any specific exhaust setups?

If you can find mine it has a Y splitter lmao. It's wireless and goes from stock exhaust, to straight out of the downpipe at the push of a button.

There are many other exhaust options that will give you better performance and tone though. I've always heard good things about invidia from the community.

Honda made that weird little van in the 90s then just this year USPS really said "man Ide really like to copy that but make it a little bigger and more platapussy".
