Is what "JDM" legal? JDM parts or a car from Japan or what?

[zee007]

JDM (short for Japanese Domestic Market) generally tend to be parts that are for Japanese cars. They are fabricated (generally) in Japan and then exported across the world. I fond it hard to believe that any JDM part would not be legal in the US, but as camrydriver stated - what exactly are you refferring too....?

The only reason it may not be legal is if it doesn't meet your state emmission regulations.... and I wouldn't have a clue about that.....

Probably not if it doesn't meet the emmision standards. Same would go for any engine part. I think I may have heard of someone with a JDM motor in their car but don't quote me on that.

I knew what JDM meant but I just didn't know what parts he was talking about. :D

jdm engines do not have the visible smog control parts that cali requires, even though they run cleaner, it won't pass the visual inspection for street use
