Acura Aftermarket Parts Are A Huge Part Of The JDM Scene

By Tracie Knight


East, as it is known, is a delicate matter, as the land of the rising sun has its own unique traditions around: food, clothing, and their lifestyle. Therefore, tuning Japanese cars is also noticeably different from the European and American standards, something painfully obvious, when it comes to buying Acura aftermarket parts.

JDM is rapidly gaining popularity all over the world and is now a powerful tuning movement.JDM pertains to the Japanese domestic car market, as the cars destined for Japan really differ from their exports. The main features of traditional style JDM Japan are a right-hand wheel, lowered suspension, high-tech engine tuning and so on. Also, a common feature of JDM style is sticker bombing, pasting many small (usually asymmetric) stickers on a car.

Although it is still found in certain places, samples of doing it along one of the many classic bosozoku lines has become rather rare. Therefore, it is not always possible to see a "pure" example of a particular style. One such aspect is syakontan, which translates loosely as "minimum clearance". This term was coined after the manga comics, in which the protagonists used extremely low cars.

Syakontan is a sort of Japanese version of the low-riders you know so well, they are vehicles with severely lowered suspensions. This feature is often entails a number of other changes and improvements. Primarily, this wheel undergoes Hippari (literal translation - "stretched"), as well as gets an increased camber Oni-kyan (it means "devil's tilt") and drags on the asphalt, with the ring barely on the Tsurikawa strap.

Of course, there is a style called Bosozoku, where monstrous body kits rather spoil the aerodynamics, but that is a case of taste.Characteristic for the JDM- cars are yellow fog lights and unusual Japanese fiery red turn signals. You also have to remember the good old (and very popular) ram muffler.It not only has to be loud and sparkling, but must be suspended obliquely, relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

For example, intercoolers in the GT series have internal bulkheads.Thanks to the low back pressure, they have cooling performance that is significantly higher than hollow. Improving your ignition control and fuel supply is also included in the mandatory set for tuning in the Japanese car culture.

What you will see, when it comes to your JDM- style Acura, is not a simple elegant show car, stuffed with the latest electronics and dolled up to the nines by its sponsor, usually some new computer game. It's not born to be a sheep in wolf's clothing, to paraphrase another proverb. Whether you have an NSX, or an RSX, your perfect solution lies in having the right parts, to make it perfect for your heart.

Cars from Japan are very common in the States, and constitute a significant portion of the total fleet of the country. In some places, cars destined for the Japanese domestic market are popular, and even ones assembled for left-hand traffic are adored. However, the location of the steering is not the most important thing in your Acura and you know it.
