I didn't state the parts were bad, or the choices were bad. I stated that people get offended by comments on their choices of parts. It has nothing to do with JDM elitism at all. There are a lot of members on here who have used pretty much every part going, so the long term members know they're way around the K20 lump pretty well. So when proven parts are knocked due to their high price and are then shunned in favour of cheaper parts, it kind of grinds a little that the experience of said members is completely ignored and they are called elitist. Dotty, who commented previously has had more TypeR models than you can shake a stick at, except for the NSX and EK9 platform, he has had every model you can get and it well versed in what works and what doesn't. This isn't the "other" forum, we offer well rounded advice based on a wealth of experience.
And just for info, my parts have ranged from the UK, US and JDM. I buy on what I find to be well priced, well made and well tested, not purely based on what I think others will accept me for having. I'm not a JDM Whore and I don't favour one company over others. As R357358764528 stated, I have a US exhaust, US Intake, US throttle body and manifolds on a JDM car.
