I heard they love Mustangs over there....I had a friend in Arizona a few years ago that would buy a Mustang, ship it over to Japan, trade somebody for a Skyline, and bring the Skyline back to the US.

For them what they really want is USDM Aftermarket parts in most cases. USDM turbos and superchargers are in HUGE demand there!

Have you ever watched the Japanese street racing videos?

Freaking rice galore lol.

They want as much American aftermarket as possible. Although personally I love the USDM stuff.

true story. whenever i find a link to it ill post the pictures of the usdm-style meet they had in japan. tons of 92-00 coupes, usdm-front integras, acura badges (on civic's as well), rotas, pointless stickers, etc. it was quite humorous
