i totally agree with above statement, JDM motors also have one big thing, they are probably beaten on like crap because the drivers out there can afford new motors and such because they don't invest much in decreasing housing property so instead they invest in cars. Therefore they don't care if they beat the crap out of a motor. A good USDM would probably be better than a JDM motor, there is no difference in the motors really, some may say the USDM motors are better :O
