hey folks, i keep seeing people with jap cars saying stuff like "vtec yo!!!" "JDM"
whats the meaning of this "vtec yo"
now i kno what jdm means, but is all this jap lingo just people bumming off each other and following the crowd and saying it for the sake of it?
What does JDM mean? I have seen the terms USDM and UKDM or something like that so I presume the prefix to DM is the country of origin or use? what does DM mean, dungeon master?
JDM is a company which specialises in Japanese cars
VTEC is the design of honda engine, its something to do with the cams adjusting or using a different part of the cam which gives it a lot more lease of life after a certain amount of revs
I am sure the Evo lads will clear this up but i am think it has somthing to do with buying Jap manufacturer only parts. More of an emphesis on usable performance parts rather then asthetics, function over fashion :)
Japan domestic market

Ah ha thanks for that. I was familiar with the VTEC engine itself as I always fancied a VTEC powered motor myself.
There are massive tuning company in japan like Sun is another one they offer huge tuning items for evos skylines and all think jap

JDM dose stand for japanese domestic market so companies that specilise in jap stuff like to adopt it even when the stuff there selling is aftermarket so in definition can not be "JDM" so:Quote:

As for Vtec YO! its just a gay thing that chaves say to decribe the magic thing that happens on a b-series engine at 5500rpm (my other car is a 220bhp civic sory :sad2: )
vvt and vtec are differentQuote:

seriously with all this YO talk and every jap car owning mofo saying the word JDM, its starting to put me off the idea of owning a jap car :sad2:
anyway isnt a turbo better cause you get full boost earlier? even with my lag city turbo i know for a fact i get full boost before this vtec yo even starts to get goingQuote:

VTEC Yo lol its such a crap catch phrase surely they could of come up with something better?
On a slightly different note what do people think to s2000 clocks was thinking of getting some for my track car project, I am aware of the speedo and temp gauge problems which require aftermarket gubbins just wondered what people thought of them?
i can see your point, but you cant buy an evo/pulsar/gt4 gearbox for under a bullseye within a couple of days :coffee:Quote:

I want an AP2 dash but have yet to find one with plugs and some loom.
