Okay I looked but saw nothing like this and honestly for all the Noobs out there, I think this maybe some useful information of terms used here in the site and to see what everyone else can come up with. Feel free to add your own words. I will start it off:

JDM Style or otherwise known as the OEM Look

An Asian manufactured or designed vehicle, mostly Honda, Toyota & Nissan, that features an aesthetic style inspired by Japan and Japanese resident car owners. A minimalist style where the vehicle appears mostly stock but will have one or many of the following:

• no or very little decals done in a tasteful manner
• installation of body kit that is subtle and compliments the overall image of the vehicle. Mostly OEM kits are used when available or aftermarket kits that carry the OEM look and feel
• no spoiler or if one is installed the purpose is purely cosmetic and it works well with the look of the vehicle
• use of original equipment accessories in a conservative manner
• paint schemes that are of one solid color
• use of lowering springs that enhance the image of the vehicle and serve to eliminate wheel well gap
• very little use of chrome if not any chrome used to accent the vehicles look
• rims that are installed on the vehicle are simple yet aggressive in appearance or installation of factory rims from other vehicles in the manufacturer's inventory
• use of carbon fiber is also done selectively not to hurt the clean image of the vehicle
• headlights are cleared or the housings are painted to accent the vehicles image
• no installation of aftermarket taillights
• some may have aftermarket headlights installed but flow well with the theme of the vehicle
• aftermarket exhaust system is low profile and is not excessively loud or menacing
• The installation of OEM parts that are of Japanese decent and are not standard equipment on American sold vehicles
• The installation of Japanese manufactured aftermarket parts like Bride seats, Volk wheels, etc. by Hayz
• tinting of windows where permitted

Rice also known as Fastandthefuryitis

a road vehicle, able to carry a small number of people, with 2 or 4 doors, that has one or several of the following:

• a disproportionate spoiler, may also have no function or purpose in relation to downforce: a front wheel drive vehicle with an elevated surf board sized piece of material affixed to the rear of the vehicle
• excessive use of decals or graphics decorating the vehicle in a manner to gain attention or self esteem; this also includes deceiving use of decals claiming products that are not on or in the vehicle or deception of power in the vehicle or advertising publicly what the vehicle has for parts or attachments
• careless use of judgment with installation of bodykit/ground effects. This includes unpainted/primered parts, items that have more holes or gaps than required, kits that protrude beyond reasonable limits
• installation of rims and tires that are incongruent with the overall image of the vehicle, this includes poor taste and lack of budget which forces installation of hubcaps impersonating rims. e.g. Eye blinding chrome rims with spinners on an economy car, red rims on a purple vehicle
• an elephantine size muffler or tip that rebels against decibel regulations, including poorly installed muffler/tip that does not complement the vehicle
• a poorly painted or comical paint scheme that defies all logic and reason
• the placement of adhesive “performance parts” to give the vehicle a menacing look or appearance of power and aggressiveness that serve no function or reason
• excessive use of lights or neon all with the purpose of drawing attention to the vehicle the same way a Christmas Tree accomplishes
• the installation of cleared taillights, overly large tachometer or other useless instruments that serve no purpose
• the vehicle suffers from an identity crisis, vehicle will have improper badging from other manufacturers or will make false claims of its performance origin

Ricer

an individual who owns Rice and has multiple personality issues that include one or more of the following:

• Likes to drive without due care or recklessness in traffic and public streets
• pretends to have a fast vehicle and challenges vehicles that are more than he/she can handle. Will also follow up loss with outstanding array of excuses to “put out the flames” to their ego or has an inexcusable habit of denial
• drives their vehicle in a “gangster” fashion, left arm dangling outside of vehicle window, seat reclined to portray driver as small and midget like and head garment tilted sideways or crooked
• will listen to music at unnatural levels to achieve attention from pedestrians and other vehicles within a one block radius
• will always perform ricer dominance acts in their vehicle when other like minded or better looking vehicles are in their presence. These include: screeching tires and hard shifting when green light lit, passing by rival vehicle so that exhaust cannon is at its highest decibel level, turning up of music, revving of engine
• is inspired by and likes to live life according to the acclaimed Fast and the Furious Hollywood films

Oh...you could do car codes like EM2 and also engine codes maybe? Like K20 = 2.0L Acura Motor(I guess its only acura...couldn't think of anything else)

 
Rep Power: 282

Those are great additions write them up and I will include them with Author Name beside them

 
Rep Power: 289

i always thought JDM was about having jdm parts mirrors, tails, grill, lip kit, and so on, and like work or volk wheels and recaro or bride seats stuff like that....
and having 4drs helps too lol

already done.

Actually, Hondata is not a "complete" ECU replacement, it only modifies it. Allowing you to tune it and expandes the capabilities of the ECU

Kpro is also not a complete ECU replacement. Kpro modifies the hardware inside the exisiting ecu allowing you to reprogram the ecu and datalog sensors.
Reflash consists of updating the ECU.

Also i think you need to use a real dictionary, words misspelled include

Acrinim = Acronym
Compleat = Complete
Rally = Rallye
Managment = Management
Replacment = Replacement
Prosses = Process
Reprograming = Reprogramming
Nitrious = Nitrous
Laphing = Laughing

Sorry but I had too, Dictionary pwns you.

Rep Power: 282

Yes...therefore call it "JDM stlye" and the world will be a much better place.

 
Rep Power: 252

none of your cars will ever be jdm. unless you goto japan and get one made there. the only real good thing thats coming out of this thread is what the acronyms are for the noobs. your opinion on what rice and jdm style is only that, an opinion. and your ideas on what jdm is are far from the original. show me a ferio w/ black out housing that is stock. or carbon fiber. what you call jdm is really called "custom", because thats the way you want it to look. oh yeah thats my opinion on this thread. if you want to post something that is helpfull, post info that will make people understand what the facts are, not what your opinion is.

 
Rep Power: 0

The term "JDM" as used on this here forum refers to the aesthetic style of vehicles manufactured in Japan, which happens to be the homeland of the parent company which owns the manufacturer of our vehicles. Anytime someone on this forum uses "JDM" they are referencing the style described above, and thus forego the "-style" suffix. I sincerely doubt this hypothetical poster is alluding to Jesse Duplantis Ministries, the Journal of Database Management, or Java Data Mining.


But I could be wrong.

In all seriousness, quit being so goddamn uptight about it. It's a term. Take a man pill and get over it.
