kind of off topic but

So I was just talking to my wife and best friend, and they suggested that I look into opening a JDM engine and parts import service here in the southeast. Anyone have any idea where I should start looking for information, or someone I should talk to ?

I would say get a loan for about $50k and fly to Japan. Buy a container and fill it with all kinds of motors then pay to have it delivered to you... Toss some 1j/2j/Sr/rb motors in there and make a killing!

If its JDM its gotta be faster, right?

JDM or V-tech...... I"m gonna put a sticker on my hatch and I should run 9's right

Wait a sec, this is America, you mean I would have to go to Japan to get something better for an automobile. Surely you must be joking. Nothing could be better than a big V-8 with quad overhead cams and that throaty growl.

I almost bought that new 5.0 cammer engine, but the price was just too damn high. then I bought my v-tech sticker (5 bucks) and everything was all good again.

they are only so big, but hey also have a ton of people., and logically alot of cars. But even if they have run out of engines, they still have aero kits and I'm sure other relatively untapped performance enhancing parts available.
