The JDM Car Culture community has grown tremendously over the years, with Japanese car brands stealing the hearts of many billions of people worldwide. Technological innovation, safety improvements, and product enhancements have made Japanese cars to be popular and respectable. Everyone wants to be associated with high-quality vehicles. The passion and devotion to Japanese cars run deep in the veins of JDM enthusiasts. The JDM culture is way more than just a hobby, but it is considered a lifestyle that comes with an eternal pursuit for perfection. Unlike most people believe, JDM car enthusiasts are not merely excited by spinning, the bulky body kits or rims that are chrome-plated. Rather, the culture revolves around the philosophy of modification of the machines without compromising the vehicle's original design to bring out the car's beauty and maximum performance. It is this aspect of JDM that makes it a unique and highly sort after culture. It takes the incorporation of large amounts of funds, thoughts, and definitely a lot of time to turn the shell of a car that has been produced in large numbers into a machine with enhanced performance and uniquely built – this is the heart of the JDM car culture.

There are has been a literal explosion of the JDM culture in the past few years. The Tokyo Drift in the 'Fast and Furious' played a significant part in this. With more people getting exposed to JDM cars and vehicles inspired by JDM culture, the community of enthusiasts keeps growing by the day. Many have come to appreciate the magnificence of JDM Cars. The culture provides a platform for different enthusiasts from all social classes, creeds, and races all around the world to interact and share in their common love for JDM cars. Frequent performance events and gatherings help the car enthusiasts remove existing barriers between them and share in the JDM machines' splendor. These events range from enjoyable track races, exhibits by different owners, show days where people make purchases. Despite the nature of the events, the results are usually almost the same; either making new friends or rivals and lots of adrenaline.

One prominent characteristic of this particular community is their notable trends, which is expected, seeing as JDM car enthusiasts have undebatable love for technological innovation and would not want to be left out. It is almost obvious for a large part, if not all, of the community to seek after and embraced new popular trends. A good example is the use of cryptocurrency to pay for JDM products and services with companies such as L’Operaio, a Japanese luxury car dealership, accepting Bitcoin as a payment option for their products through bitFlyer- their Tokyo-based digital wallet. And Carriage Nissan, a Nissan dealership in Atlanta, Georgia, accepts payment through Bitcoin for their new Nissan cars. The JDM culture community is a trend chaser of anything that adds value to their shared love for JDM cars. Right now, there is a new trend, and I am going to tell you all about it in this article.

Over the past few years, the internet has been blowing up with thousands of cool wallpapers of JDM cars. There are many websites with hundreds of such wallpapers that are readily available for download and use on the phone or computer. People have the option of sharing the links with others who may be interested in the wallpapers. This trend is an addition and continuation of JDM cars' love by the JDM culture enthusiasts that are almost turning into an obsession. They are no longer just satisfied with attending events and meet-ups where JDM cars are showcased or spending hours watching and re-watching videos of these cool cars. Still, they now want to have the luxury of seeing their favorite JDM cars every time they open their computers or phones. The websites with JDM Car wallpapers are overflowing with incredible traffic, downloads, and shares, which shows how much this trend has been embraced and appreciated by the enthusiasts. The wallpapers consist of different JDM cars in various settings from showrooms, the track, on the road, parking lots, garages, driveways, and any other possible locations. The originality of the wallpapers lies in the context of the photo of the car is it; the photos consist of real JDM cars in relatable backgrounds with no exaggerations but simply clear shots that show the magnificence of the machine.

The wallpapers consist of a variety of collections from different photographers, and owners of JDM cars are also encouraged to send in photos of their cars to be shared on the platforms and availed for other enthusiasts to download and use as their wallpapers. This trend is a game-changer for the JDM culture community. Anyone who was not previously well-acquainted with these machines can get to see the different types and makes that are available. Changing wallpapers on a daily basis can become a pass-time for those who love wallpapers and now have easy access to wallpapers that are personal and represent something that they are actually passionate about. The platforms allow choosing from many different wallpapers. The variety is incredible! More than just being used to decorate the display on phones and computers, the images can be used to compare and critique the different makes and models, especially using features of the visible cars in the photos. It is also a good way for proud JDM car owners to share their rides and inspire others. Opportunities for upgrading present themselves when an owner spots a better model in performance or looks than their current one.

Like any other positive trend, these cool wallpapers bring the community together. The comment sections on the platforms allow the enthusiast to interact by sharing their views of the cars in the photos. People from all walks and corners of the world can easily share their thoughts and appreciation for the various wallpapers and feel like they belong. The only downside might be that the interaction is not the same experience as in an actual meet-up, but it still helps keep the JDM culture community together and grow in numbers daily. Not to forget the fact that these JDM cars are a magnificent sight to behold; these wallpapers are beautiful. I have compiled a list of some of the best wallpapers and where you can find and download them.

It is not easy to come up with a definitive list of the best wallpapers of JDM cars. There are many wallpapers available online, and more owners are continuously sharing their images to be included as downloadable wallpapers. The list is also subject to bias depending on what conversations were going on around certain models during the time that the wallpapers were uploaded. There is also the time factor where wallpapers that were uploaded earlier have had more time to be viewed than those that are recent. The backgrounds featured in the images also influence.

​Based on the comments, likes, and shares of the different wallpapers of JDM cars, I have made a list of places where you can find the most popular JDM car wallpapers.

Cryptocurrency has had a massive effect on the economy in the recent years. It has gained popularity and made headlines with many more people embracing it as a new way of transferring value. Transactions in our daily lives have been transformed dramatically through the adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. And with the financial industry experiencing the massive disruption caused by cryptocurrency, many other industries have been affected through a ripple effect. Of course, this is because the financial industry is at the center of operations for all other markets. People and organizations are being affected both directly and indirectly by the cryptocurrency sweep. With the increasing popularity gained since 2018 through constant media coverage, cryptocurrency has become an inevitable part of most industries.

The Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) is not being left behind. The JDM Car Culture community has grown tremendously over the years with Japanese car brands stealing the hearts of many billions of people across the world. The Technological innovation, safety improvements and product enhancements have made Japanese cars to be popular and respectable. Everyone wants to be associated with the high-quality vehicles. With cryptocurrency sweeping over the way that people are making payments for different things today, many JDM car companies have realized its power and have decided to accept cryptocurrency as legit payment for their products as well as services.

​L’Operaio, a Japanese luxury car dealership, made an announcement to accept Bitcoin as a payment option for their products through bitFlyer- their Tokyo-based digital wallet. Another good example is Carriage Nissan, a Nissan dealership in Atlanta, Georgia that accepts payment through Bitcoin for their new Nissan cars. Many Japanese car dealerships have followed suit.

​Knowing JDM car enthusiasts, and especially with their love for technological innovation, it is almost obvious that many of them have embraced the popular, lucrative, and powerful cryptocurrency. We can, therefore, call the move by JDM car companies to incorporate use of cryptocurrency – smart. It is a sure way to make their businesses available to everyone in the new Digital Era. It is also a great way to own and control part of the blockchain technology.

​So, you are a car enthusiast, right? Great! This, most likely, means that you are always talking about cars and checking to ensure that you are very updated on any new makes as they evolve. You probably spend so much more time analyzing and ranking cars on a daily basis than the total amount of time you ever spend doing everything else. A real enthusiast wouldn’t stop there, in fact, they shouldn’t stop there.

​Why not start your own car club! Brilliant idea, right? I know... The thought of meeting people with almost equally as much enthusiasm for cars as you do, is almost mind blowing. You will get the chance to make new friends who will not, as some people around you probably do, refer to your car obsession as a “lame hobby” or any of those phrases that they use, simply because they have no idea just how cool this is. Can you imagine the time when your club will have grown to an internationally recognized car club? There is only one way to make this a reality; start your own club. Here is the most basic stepwise guide to help you out:

​

• Establish the main focus

You need to decide whether the club will focus on a specific model, a specific brand or if it will be an all-inclusive club for any enthusiast. You however, need to do this while keeping the club’s mission and goal in your mind. This brings us to the next step;

​

• Write out your club’s mission statement

This is the main idea of the purpose of your club. Knowing this is a key step towards having a successful club. This statement should briefly outline the specific goal for your club. The initial statement can be drafted by you but as members join, you can have them help you to build on it

​

• Set out your club’s long-term goals

Your goals should be specific enough and you should be in a position to easily tell when they have been accomplished. A goal can be as simple as aiming at a particular number of members to becoming a world renown business. Members can also set their personal goals- what they to gain from the club.

​

• Establish terms of membership

Here, you need to clearly show who can be a member and how they can become members.  You can set an age limit for members and the membership fee. You also need to let the members know why it is great to join the club by letting them know what they will gain if they join the club.
Set out times for meetings; this is subject to change with time as members join the club.


With these steps, you are good to start!

​By now, any car enthusiast knows that Ricers can be defined depending on the questions ‘who?’ and ‘What?’. Today, we focus on the ‘what?’ and we are not about to classify enthusiast, so relax. The debate on the differences between Tuners and Ricers has been in existence for a long time now. Despite the various attempts to distinguish this two, there is still so much confusion (mostly because some people take the discussion to heart and classify any car that they do not really like as a Ricer) and the intention of this article is to break down the major differences in the simplest manner possible .I hope you’ll be able to appropriately distinguish these two well by the end of the article.

​Tuners are factory-built with great performance in mind. Ricers on the other hand are made in parking spaces and garages. They are body kits, JDM parts, wheels, spoilers and other parts put together. In short, Turners are loved and very cool, but ricers have no performance value and are crappy-they generally suck. The most they have are stickers and body kits.

​Here are the Five Major Differences between Tuners and Ricers

• Tuners make great drift cars but Ricers are not there

If you are a drifter, then you’ll probably hate ricers for this reason if not for any of the other many reasons. For a proper drift, you do not have to think twice if you have the choice of picking one of the two.

• Tuners really specialize in terms of useful and very tasteful cosmetic mod, Ricers don’t just even try.

You need classy mods, something eye-catching and fancy? Do a Tuner. If you are not particular about the look and how presentable your car is, you can try the dull Racers.

• Tuners use the best parts and you can tell well what’s going on under the hood. Ricers are a combination of the most available parts and it is therefore very likely to have an unexpected breakdown... Just embarrassment.
• Tuners know how to shift to get the most out of their cars but ricers just play around with the rev limiter
• Tuners put a lot of research and tangible effort towards producing the best exhaust and turbo sounds whereas Ricers prefer loud fart-cans and fake blow off valves.

The exhaust of a Tuner sounds good. It usually is satisfying to listen to. The one for a Ricer sounds very awful.

• And just to highlight the other differences that will make the distinction clearer; Tuners do very impressive burnouts and are fast. Ricers on the other hand are not good at burnouts, although sometimes they really try- really hard! They are slow too.
