And you can change your name Takashi or something.

instead of having your parents buy your vehicles, get a job, save up your paychecks and buy your own then they cant tell you what to buy and what not to buy.

how about get a REAL first car, like everyone else. Start with an 82 chevette and work up. Might i suggest an 87 tercel? I would not advise any parents to buy their kid a 300hp rhd-rocket.

I would suggest starting with a car that you can pay for with 1 cheque from work. This may be my jealously talking because i was the brokest ass high school kid around. My first car had a rubberize floor mat to cover a hole in floor, if i hit a puddle, passenger got spashed.

Like everyone else is saying, get a job and buy it yourself.

Then you can get whatever little riceburner is gonna make you feel the coolest for the two weeks before it blows up cause some guy(s) bagged the shit out of it for fifteen years before it gets sold to some chump on the other side of the world.


O, and i just thought id let you know your sig doesnt make sense.
"LET THEM HATE AS SO LONG AS THEY FEAR" lose the first 'as' or 'so'. I know nobody checks their posts for spelling/grammar, but is it too much to ask you to apply a little bit of third grade knowledge to your sig thats gonna show up everytime you post?

well, i just bought a 1992 nissan silvia. my parents really could care less, they know im a good driver on eaither side of the road and it was my insurance money from my civic.

also about the insurance thing, shoaib @ jdmsource has told me, he hasnt seen one jdm car he imported be more expensive for insurance.

my car right now is about 200$/month less for full coverage than my civic was. but for jdm vehicles, TD meloche monnex seems to be the only one who offers full coverage on them.

I think he's asking more on the lines of he needs his parents agreeing to it.

I know i have a problem with my parents even if i'm buying it myself.

of course you could tell them to fuck off cuz it's your money
but where's the respect?

let's get some comments about how you can convince them.

Britain has both RHD and LHD vehicles on the road
they're not less safe

Insurance in Britain does not distingish between RHD or LHD vehicles

I saved and paid for my own first car and still had to have my parents approval (being 16 at the time).

I wanted a silvia so effing bad but they were absolutely against rhd. So, I bought the next closest thing: 240sx coupe with an sr.

If I had to buy another s13, it would be lhd. After driving both I just prefer lhd now. Why not just settle for something similar here?

11-08-2007, 08:40 AM
If you have to still convince your mommy and daddy as to which car you can own you are probably a little too young to be driving a RHD car.

Even so. RHD cars are 98% crap with terrible resale potential since people would rather buy a newly imported car than a piece of crap that some 16 year old previously owned and bagged.

Tip #1: Don't

Even if your paying for it, the money for the constant repairs and upkeep isn't worth it. JDM cars are high maintenance *normally* from what i've seen. You need to know what your doing, or need lots of money to hire someone who does. Reliability would be another issue for me. I would love to own an FD3S, jdm or otherwise, but it's impractical. I have a friend who has a pulsar. It's bleeding him dry, he has to replace the brakes (which you cannot find locally), the clutch line, as well as other stuff. It's brutal in the long run. Buy a USDM car, and enjoy it. JDM cars should be weekend toys only, not a daily driver for a 16/17 year old.

good way of putting it. and i agree. i had a JDM MR2 that was a summer car only, i think i drove it in the rain once. these cars arent daily drivers and they need to be maintained. the kid i sold it to is 17 and im still suprised that his dad bought it, because it takes getting use to a car that fast not to mention on the right side. i agree with these guys, if its a summer car maybe, but not all year round, youll just get yourself in shit. trust me.

And a lot of insurance companies wont insure straight JDM vehicles like some toyota models, skylines etc - parts that they would need to order over seas... mostly cause when kids get into accidents in these cars they have a shit fit with then appraiser offers them 70% of what they actually paid for the car... cause who is foolish enough to spend 20k on a 17 year old car...

again buy it yourself you'll appreciate it more

it's nice to have as an occasional ride that u dump tons of money into to make it perform well and look decent. but all year round daily driver? uhh... i dunno. i guess if u have the money to maintain every part on it.

This is probably the stupidest post I've read in a while
:nut: :nut: :rofl:



If you are REALLY that keen on buying a RHD vehicle, you're best getting something that has a USDM counterpart over here (ex. Fairlady --> 300zx ; Gt-Four --> Celica Alltrac)

Then getting parts after it breaks wont be such a big deal.

If you really want AWD turbo for the winter, come down to Medicine Hat, I'll sell you my Gt-four. :dunno:

On another note. Think about the expenses that ARENT mentioned when buying a JDM vehicle.


OOP inpsection + whatever it will need to pass inspection
DRL's (cheap but its still a cost)
Every single fluid flushed + replaced
Tires (Most JDM vehicles come with summer tires, if you plan on driving it in the winter, better be ready to buy some winter tires)

The fluids will cost yah the most. I know when the previous owner of my GT-Four purchased it, he spent near $600 getting every single fluid replaced.

dude i had the same problem with my rents when i wanted to buy my 180. They were super sketch but then i took my dad with me to jdm source and shoaib talked to him about it. then he saw the RHD cars and realised they werent so bad... also my insurance is the same price as on my honda accord so that shouldnt really be an issue.

In all seriousness, if it wasn't for the fact that I've been working on cars forever, I would have been broke with the repairs I needed to do to it. I mean, I've rebuilt the motor 3 times this year. A JDM car is not as cheap as it seems. If you REALLY want one, learn to wrench on it.

SR240SX
11-08-2007, 02:45 PM
Yea its not cheap..and if your trying to convince your parents to let you buy one or buy it for you..get ready for them to bitch and bitch because the car will be a headache. I can do just about everything on my car myself and its still burning a huge hole in my pocket which is why im selling!:werd: :goflames:

When I bought my skyline my parents were a little nervous but I told them how my friends were able to drive them just fine and in japan and parts of the uk there are lhd AND rhd cars driving togeather without any more problems we have over here with mostly all lhd cars. They knew I was going to buy it anyways to so I guess they kind of gave up arguing. Make sure you don't cheap out though, sure there are alot of jdm junk cars but people don't relize there are just as many nice condition jdm cars, alot of people are just to cheap to spend a bit more money on them.

What car are you looking at getting?

Also not entirely true.
I know JDM source will put in DRL's and do their OOP. But they do not change the fluids, as I have asked about this already.

If he purchases one that someone has for sale locally and has owned the car for a while, then yes, they may have been changed.

Walk up to you dad, get him to slap you across the face and kick you down the stairs for wanting to buy a JDM. Then maybe ask your mom why the hell she gave birth to another JDM fanboy.

You do not have the funds for it, so don't. I love JDM's, as in looks. I think some of them are great machines that can produce a lot of power and look nice usually. Would I buy one? Not in a fucking million years.

just tell your dad you'll get more pussy. he should understand that.

but reallr RHD, LHD, it shouldn't really matter to them, if you are going to spend X $ on a car say you have 7000 to spend it shouldn't matter if it is RHD or LHD.

it is they are spending up to this amount, and you should be able to get what you want for that price range.

RHD is such a lame fad, And to prove it if you pay attention to these MaD TyTe skylines/silvias, you'll notice the same car get's sold every 3 months, to some band wagoner then 3 months later he realizes how unpractical/lame the thing is and sells it to another kid. :rofl:

Hey here's an idea.

Don't buy a pulsar or a skyline or anything like that. Tell your dad to buy you a Civic SIR or some shit like that. Then rice the balls out of it.

Once you have over 1000whp you can pull next to Ferraris and say catchy lines like "nice car, what's the retail on one of those" You might have to to a motor swap. I bet a few SR20's would pull a premium a week before racewars. Might need to get two... Bimoto FTW.

After you convince your daddy to buy you a JDM car, leave beyond. I'm sure you'll just be on here whoring around like that rollinv4l guy. Only when you crash, and you will crash, come back, let us know who you were and post pics of your retarded JDM car that you thought was so tyte and would get you MAD respect.

You are what's wrong with JDM. Kids with rich parents that ruin the coolness of a once rare vehicle.

Im paying 268 a month with full coverage through ING I believe on my first car... Its a 92 prelude that only cost me $2200 bucks.. Big deal I have no other bills to pay cuz my parents are down like that.. I think ima go back to school so yah.. Insurance is so high for us newbies!



PS: Dont bother buying a RHD vehicle.. I thought I wanted one before but crap whats the point.... Might as well get something for cheap that runs and you know what may go wrong with it rather than getting JDM vehicles that have been sitting around in a yard for way to much money...(They break down quick)...

PS: Dont bother buying a RHD vehicle.. I thought I wanted one before but crap whats the point.... Might as well get something for cheap that runs and you know what may go wrong with it rather than getting JDM vehicles that have been sitting around in a yard for way to much money...(They break down quick)...

Why would you put full coverage on a old POS? JDM sucks end of story, the only car I'd bring is an older BMW or Benz and it's gotta be LHD. My 16 year old relative asked me to buy a Skyline, I slapped him across the face for it

My cars not jdm.. I only got full coverage because my car is worth more than I payed for it.. So if I had to write it off w.e.. But mainly because I want full coverage later on at a lower rate so why not... Rather pay full on a POS than wreck it and nt be covered for whats going into it...

Thats true, also if somebody did a hit and run on your car and totalled it, without collision you'd be SOL

thats exactly what the broker told me. So I was like might as well have full coverage because Im not a risky driver so I dont think I should be paying insurance and then not benefiting from it at all.. Other than the fact thats its illegal not to have your car insured..

Why are people saying "his rich parents buying him this-that blah blah blah" he just said he bought it with his own money. He just needs tips on how to convince his dad that its ok to drive a rhd.

No you idiot, he said just a few post's ago, "What is it wrong if my parents spoil me?" Hinting he is not buying it, his parents are. Why the hell would he have to convince his parents into buying it if it was his own money.

Now the the OP. What's wrong if your parents buy it? It won't be your money. You won't have the satisfaction of using your own hard earned cash to buy something, therefore you will treat it like shit. Everyone does it. They get their parents car and drive the shit out of it cause they don't care. Also you will always have a nice car for your whole life. You will never learn to love and respect a newer car when you get one. I drove a 91 Grand Marquis for all of highschool. It had a spun bearing and was running off of two cylinders. Yes it was a total shit box and wasn't the coolest car, but even now that I got just a tad bit nicer of a car that looks a little better, and I love it. I take care of it, everything. Once I get a brand new car I will respect it even more.

My parents are rich, they could afford me a nice BMW or Mercedes or something, but you know what? THEY DON'T BUY ME IT! You know why? Because it teaches me responsibility with money, and the true value behind money. It teaches me that not everything is free in life. Spoiled kids are little shits. When I have kids, I am buying them nothing that expensive. They work, they save up their money, and then THEY buy it.

So true about the driving it to shit... This grl I worked with her parents bought here a brand new VW Beetle..(Standard Transmission) This girl drove this thing like a fricken retard.. She has no respect for her car and even says so to people when they ask.. Driving up to 60km/h in parking lots..

I made the mistake of letting her drive my lude when I got it... First thing she did is try and rip it out of the lot next to some fricken gas pumps in first gear bouncing of the red in (my poor beat up h23)... Luckily enough she actually stoped at the stop sign. So I pulled the e-brake before she started going turned the car off and tugged the wheel over to lock it up... Shes like wtf its not going anywere.. Then I continued to open the door and force here out.. Stupid bitch...

But anyways it would make more sense to get an affordable car that runs(lhd) for a first car. Rather than be like oh if I break it my parents wont care ill just have to buy the next one..

LOL! dumb broad!

I had a 92 Corolla 4dr that I beat the crap out of in HS. And it always came back for more. Went through my brother's HS years too. When it came time to buy my 1st car (S14) at 19, I borrowed some of the money from my parents, and had them paid back within a year. (I didn't even change the stock stereo, so I had a cassette deck for a year) I already felt like a big mooch for just having to borrow money alone. And my parents have money....

I have no problem with people spoiling their kids, but if it's going to endanger others like this moron is going to when he crashes (and he will) then it is all of our problems.

Ok fine Terence since I know you're parents bought you're car, and you respect the shit out of it.

But it does happen sometimes, I mean fuck when my mom let me drive her G6 I didn't really drive it nicely, but I was young and dumb then. :banghead:

You would? Wow way to teach your kid how tough life is! :rolleyes: My parents agree'd to front whatever i put down for a car, so if i put down 2500, theyd put down 2500 too. And believe me, making $6-8/hr back in high school it took quite some time to be able to buy a decent car. Kids are lucky now, 90-93 integras and early 90's civics dont cost much at all, when i was in high school people wanted 8,000-10,000 for a 93 integra
