I own a 1998 Honda Civic EK4 with a B16A2 engine, I've always been a fan of the civic but it's different once you take one for a ride,
the VTEC engine, how it's amazingly nimble and the fact you can outrun more powerful cars,It's lightweight, and capable of slaying giants.
Just wait until you you hear that punchy B16A2 4-cylinder VTEC engine screaming through the streets at 8200rpm!
these are the reasons why I can't stop driving a Civic.

I own a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 with a RB25DET engine, I've always wanted to drive a Skyline but owning one is a completely different experience,
the straight 6 engine, it's amazingly strong that delivers constant power from 1krpm - 8,500 rpm!
once I reach 170km/h I can't get a hold of myself, I can't go any faster,
I had plenty of time but never realised, there's always another car on my mind and this isn't it.

I own a 2001 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R with a SR20DET engine, I've always liked the S-Chassis and owning a Silvia was a dream and goal for me throughout my youth,
the inline 4 engine, how it's subtle and tame when driving casually, but after going on multiple spirited drives the whole car shows its true colours, a true performer; a race car!
Currently running 10 psi and will definitely push it to 18 / 22 once I've done all the supporting mods to run higher boost.

I own a 2004 Mitsubishi Evolution 8 MR with a 4G63 engine, I've never been a fan of Evo's honestly, but after test driving one I knew I just had to have one.
The 4 banger engine paired with the all-wheel drive system, extremely powerful & such an exhilarating experience when taking it through the gears & reviving it out shows it true heritage, a Rally car for the streets!
Currently paired with a big turbo (Intense 5656R) cams, & E85, a true performer & part time daily to spark my inner-child. & most importantly, putting a smile on my face. My GE15HA.

I own a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR with the legendary RB26DETT. Dream car acquired, another tick on the bucket list, an immeasurable life achievement.
The inline 6, JDM Royalty. The motor produces such a sound that brings out the euphoria & dopamine every car lover yearns for. The handling is comparable to that of a Go-Kart, an insanely light chassis, met with a heavy steering response.
Currently setup with a Single Turbo, OEM 5 Speed manual, & a fresh set of Bride Bucket seats, dressed in red of course to enhance the white paint & to create a silhouette in homage to it's legendary status as a homologation racecar that was crafted for the streets.
Future plans of restoring the interior is high on the priority list, & this time around I'll be chasing more seat time, rather than chasing dyno sheets.

As life moves forward, so does my ownership with JDM cars. This will most likely be my final update post to the blog as I don't intend on purchasing nor experiencing other JDM cars as the R32 GTR is quite literally the pinnacle for myself & where my budget maxes out.

Who knows, maybe someday I'll end up owning another JDM Legend but it doesn't seem likely; as you know the market & asking prices for 99% of JDM cars is insane & unfortunately makes the lifestyle of owning such a car to be more of 1% collectors item rather than a car to be driven, modified, & enjoyed.

With that being said; the cars I unfortunately never had the pleasure of experiencing nor will I ever,
are as follows:
1. Mazda RX7 FD3-S.
2. Ford Focus RS.
3. Toyota Chaser JZX100.
4. Nissan Stagea C34.
5. & lastly, my dream car, the Honda Civic EK9 Type-R.

To those of you who have been reading my yearly (sort of?) blog updates on my JDM car ownership,
I truly appreciate you. & I would love to see / hear about your ownership journey with all the cars you've had the pleasure of experiencing.

Text me here on steam, or send me a text on instagram @EmmetASAP, lets have a chit chat!
