as far a proteges go, i think a jdm section wouldnt be worth it. the familia and protege are very different cars so if someone posted questions like "can i swap this jdm thing into my p5?" the answer would almost always be no. kind of a downer:( if this was a honda forum, a jdm section would be great.

on the other hand the mazda3 community may benifit from a forum like this.

my vote is "i unno?"
 
wish this wil continue....i like jdm stuffs cos i know im the only one around me that has tha parts for it. Im keeping my 03.5 speed stock cos i know what ever i do to it theres gonna be someone the same if not better..lol..at least my other protege im sure im alone if not few people has in in N america.
 
I agree on the FAQ. There is only so much to discuss about JDM, and we don't need the same questions repeated over and over.
 
I think the way my choice was played out was just that. It's played out. Why have a totally commited section when you could ask about, let's say, A jdm front bumper/grill in the appearance section? <dang i can't spell tonight>
 
I guess mostly the Hawaii guys are into JDM, I guess cause we are alot more closely related to the Japanese way of life in Hawaii then any other state
 
good, it would be another useless section with little or no activity. especially since:

1) how many people post in the correct section to begin with
2) how many parts are really available? a whole bunch of overpriced parts (like the autoexe header), then replica parts abound so not many people really give a crap about paying (3 times?) the amount for a grille or lip to have a "better" fit which really isnt noticable, then the of course ZE swap question which constantly would be said not worth it, then minor things like badges and stickers. unless you want to stretch and start talking about bride seats which like one person on this forum has, or something to that effect. of course you have the JDM tails but considering they really arent jdm anymore since they went to the us spec lights...and most posts would be looking to buy or for sale posts, hence not in that section anyhow..

anyhow, you get my point.
 
This is the thing, I do buy these parts, if I wasent going to go forced induction I would buy that header, and I am planning on buying a whole gang of Autoexe parts, just ordered about 700 dollars worth. it might sound stupid buying all these parts but that is the whole thing, not many people have these parts, and i dont care if not many people know they are JDM parts , I know , I dont care what people say about it, if it is played out or not, its my choice, just like a ricers choice to buy altezzas, I just have a cleaner approach.I bought a exhaust that was almost a grand becuase I know no one on this board or anywere has it. I bought a grill that was almost 300 ,for what a tighter fit?No because I know it is there. I am hoping to get Autoexe dampners this next week if I can get them for the price agreed on. I have to have a japanese friend order them for me, becuase I cant read or speak japanese. I am devoted to this type of styling. I do think it sometimes gets a little overboard with different crowds like the honda crowd, but there is so many things and parts people dont know about that can go on our vehicles. They might be expensive, but to me they are worth it.

The products are usually better quality just like japanese cars, much better then most domestics. Not to knock domestic manufacurs of parts cause there is a gang of great brands, especally in the mazda community.

But I will be working on a faq, and I will hopefully bring together in the near future many group buys for these parts, so a lot of you can get them at a bit of a discount.



Cleanliness is Key.

Thanks again guys.

The sad thing I dont even go to shows , I could care less sometimes, but maybe when I have some more things done to it, all care. But probably not, knowing that my car in my eyes looks great and produces efficient and moderate power will make me happy but that wont be for awhile. I dont have many hobbies, and I dont have many expensive toys ,just my cars, and PC's . Thats about it.

So to the guys that throw down ghey poses on there roofs of there cars. I salute you, and keep on keeping on the Funkdafied hotness. (rei)
 
You just keep the few of us posted on the parts and I'm sure the few that are interested will jump on the chance to get them cheaper
