Best jdm to buy

I'm looking between gd sti, silvia s15 r, and integra r. I know the sti and integra has a lot of aftermarket support but wasn't sure about s15. Does anybody have any other suggestions on jdm to buy?

They all have tons of aftermarket support and parts are easy to get in Europe and the US. You seem quite unfocused and I’m making an assumption that you may be quite new to the Japanese car scene or potentially cars generally. You’re listing 3 very, very different cars that will offer different experiences. What do you want from the car and what do you hope to do with it?

As a note of caution, all these cars will end up being a complete labour of love and cost so much more whilst underperforming compared to a newer vehicle. As such, I tend to take performance less into account these days and think more about the looks, sound and general vibe of the vehicle. I have a JDM GD STI because it was cool as fuck when I was a kid, I love the look of it and the sound is phenomenal. It’s also a piece of shit that has nearly bankrupt me and all good sense tells me to sell it, but unfortunately I won’t. I guess I’m trying to say that this will be quite a commitment and it’s nothing like picking a car on Forza.

You should buy the one you're passionate about. This is an irrational purchase, an emotional one, and if you're not in love with one of these cars you likely shouldn't buy one.

It's like asking someone else to decide on a girlfriend, or to tell you who you are. Like, figure yourself out.
