Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more passionate Honda enthusiasts finding their dream cars through us — and honestly, this is what JDM culture is all about.

Recently, Mike from Yokosuka, serving with the U.S. military, picked up not one but TWO Honda icons from us — an EK9 Civic Type R and DC2 Integra Type R. Before shipping them back home to San Diego this summer, we’ll be working together at TCS to dial both cars in exactly the way he wants.

At the same time, Kyle recently took delivery of his second Prelude from us before heading back to the United States as well. Seeing these cars become part of someone’s life journey from Japan to the US is something special.

These moments remind us that Hondas are more than just cars — they’re lightweight, high-revving machines built around pure driving feel, and the passion behind them continues worldwide.

So if you’re living in Japan and looking for a true JDM Honda experience before export eligibility arrives… here are two cars we currently recommend

— 2005 DC5 Integra Type R —

A very clean later model DC5 ITR with near factory-original example. Finished in the iconic Championship White.

Yes, it has some mileage, but the condition and overall feel of the car are extremely good — exactly the kind of DC5 that’s becoming harder and harder to find today.

— 2010 FD2 Civic Type R —

One of the final true Japan-exclusive Type Rs and arguably one of the best naturally aspirated VTEC car ever made.

This particular car has been tastefully set up by the previous owner with circuit driving in mind, making it an incredibly exciting and sharp driver’s car.

The DC5 is a 2005 model and the FD2 is a 2010 model, so US export eligibility still requires a little more time — but why wait until then?
