1. The Purist JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)
- Faithful to original Japanese parts (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru)
- Optimized engines, adjusted suspensions, but sober design
- Finding a balance between performance and authenticity
Examples : Nissan Silvia S15, Honda Civic EK9, Mazda RX-7 FD
2. The Bosozoku Style: Assumed Excess
- Radical style inspired by 80s biker gangs
- XXL bumpers, vertical exhausts, flashy colors, giant spoilers
- It's provocative, noisy, excessive... and totally assumed.
Unofficial slogan: "Look at me, or get out."
3. The VIP Style: luxury and aggressiveness
- Luxury cars (Lexus, Toyota Crown, Nissan President) transformed into living room beasts
- Ultra-low suspension (air ride), XXL chrome rims, stitched leather interiors
- A mix of class, mafia and extravagance
4. The Kaido Racer: Back to the 80s
- Inspired by vintage Japan Grand Prix racing cars
- Retro lines, widened wings, liveries inspired by the 70s and 80s
- Old-school look, but ultra-competitive spirit
5. Kanjozoku: Osaka’s underground
- Honda Civic only
- Dark colors, coded stickers, hidden plates
- Illegal night racing on the Kanjo Expressway Loop
- Very secret, very respected
Why is Japanese tuning so unique?
- Creativity without limits
