Thread: Jdm vs Adm

  1. #1

    Default

    Just noticed when someone is looking at buying a sprinter and aks if they should buy JDM or ADM, why does every one say 'oh JDM kicks ass'. Would a an ADM with a smallport and coilovers not be a better car for less money than a stock bigport JDM. Just wondering what makes a JDM car so much better if you're gonna fit coilovers/smallport/quads/swaybars/etc anyway.... ?

    It's a lot of smaller things that add up to the whole.

    JDM =
    More lock standard
    Factory 4age with airbox and other cool things
    Better seats
    Jdm accel pedal that's even with the brake and clutch
    Jdm t50 with the slave cyl on the drivers side
    Lip and skirts
    Vented front brakes and disk rear
    LSD standard
    Higher redline on the tacho
    Better headlights that shine better and look better
    Better looking indicators
    Trueno pop up lights for takumi spec!
    JDM = non cracked dash
    gt-apex had power steering, power windows, power mirrors, climate control

    Heaps of small shit that all adds up

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (unit101 @ Jan 6 2008, 01:29 PM) </div>it's like really awesome boobs

    there are fake ones (aus spec) and real ones (JDM) ... to one half, it doesnt matter a damn ..... to the more discerning half it's everything

    if ur using it for just drifting, then adm would be the way, but if ur using it as a daily/track car then jdm would be the better option

    the ones that are cracked have not been looked after, generally the nice ones do have mint dashs.
