It would probably help things if you said that in the "location" section of your profile. I've seen a number of threads by you where people get confused. MOST members on this site are from the US or Canada, so anyone that doesn't say where they're from is usually assumed to be from one or the other.

Wow , the ride looks good even with the busted fender ..

[xkjnboix]

pisses me off looking at the listing cause it has all the jdm parts on the car which USA got gypped out of.

also it must have been in a rear end collision cause the rear bumper doesnt have the chrome / stainless trim.

even the side skirts have the trim =D. ive never seen that before.

From the looks of the pics it is very very likely a genuine JDM import.

It has all the tell tale signs of a JDM version and when compared to my car it has similar jdm components eg. instrument cluster, interior, badgings etc. indicating strongly it is genuinely JDM.


Downside or uncertainty:

Though there is no pics of the engine bay to confirm the 2.0 engine and if indeed is a Si (injection) not carby (though it is very unlikely) and verify the tags. No pic no strong confirmation but highly the coveted most powerful oem engine fitted to a CB chassy (the DOHC EFI high compression 2.0 JDM engine).

Though it is JDM as with all JDM cars it doesn't equate to being automatically better than locally avail cars (not in Australia anyway) as not all options are taken.

Australia tends to have a mid to high range (JDM level) package deals for their cars (with minimal options). The JDM result comparison may be a mix of features that are unique and better than local cars but and also less than what is avail on locally avail cars.

Unlike CB's in the USA our base model is somewhat in the mid rage of the USA trim levels. We didn't have accords with rear brake drums nor did we have manual windows. So in my opinion we would not view a JDM car as automatically better or have a really high percentage of being better.

Example: a Top range trim level in Australia had Sunroof as standard (im almost certain on this) while in Japan it has always been an option. So you may have a stituation where a JDM top range has the digital climate control (was made standard in Japan) but without a sunroof. So a mixed feeling can be had.

Unless the original owner in Japan fully loaded his purchase and ticked most of the option boxes, the resulting JDM import would not be a clear winner. Most JDM's will be a mixed feeling car as most that survive the trip are of the top spec variety. You will be faced with JDM trade off between say a better engine to forgeing a sunroof or a digital climate control but no ABS etc.

I was lucky enought to find one that was definitely clear winner. Hence Im content and would hands down pass up on this :P.

I would have looked at this or end up buying it for myself If I had spare cash, room and if nothing majorly wrong with it as its quite affordable and in easily restorable state (for a reliable and respectable ride). Alas I am content and have even just scored a ultra rare purchase just a few days ago. Yes, my purchase was a real JDM car just not a CB this time. Hint, its still a Honda and a Halo car (just as rare and coveted as a fully optioned JDM CB is to us)
