Welcome Aboard... 'nevada'... new member, eh?! Thanks (Dziękuję) for sharing this seeming additional proof of another 'Keke Design' edition JUSTY . I /we would be ultra interested in seeing additional photographs especially of the suspension, seats, and steering wheel as well as VIN # info. Do you have any info/dealer literature from the previous owner(s)? While I couldn't help but originally (some months back) be highly skeptical of another member's claims of a 'special edition' JUSTY of 'Keke' creation... I am starting to think that indeed someone put together a significant number of these oddities either through a zany Nordic predealer, dealer, or aftermarket. In most cases I do notice what appears to be a lower 'stance' with the clearback Keke sticker and yellow to charcoal grey metallic accents (more common in the States on early Hondasport 'sticker tuner'/mall race set ups ). The Personal steering wheel also looks to complete the package. Though I cannot find official data, I've come across several links substantiating this kookiness ;D: www.nettiauto.com/subaru/justy/2769538?sitelang=1Photobucket 'Shortlink': tinyurl.com/lh48zrwww.darol.silesian.org/pliki/subaru.jpgP.S. If they're not just cut springs, I'll swap my stock suspension for your 'Keke handling' next time you holiday in New York! Thx again,

Hello, i bought this car from a nice lady, a true Justy fan, she was even present at this forum: subarujusty.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=memberjustys&action=display&thread=1289The car had yellow trim removed, and oem wheels were painted gold- i turned them back to oem look. The car was purchased in polish Subaru dealership (got all papers) and it seems that Keke version (limited to 150) was prepared exclusive for Finland. Somehow mine was sold in Poland. User's manual is in finnish. I removed front coil springs already and they aren't cut- I'm guessing that only springs are different. (Shipping to US is no problem ) Detailed photos soon.

Just so you're aware nevada: If your password is in fact "JDM.PL" we can all see it in your signature. I didn't know if that was intentional or not, and can't see much of a reason why anyone would want to jump on someone elses forum account, but just for security reasons (someone could stumble across the site and log into your account) you ought to consider putting that somewhere else.

Oh no! It is my brothers forum- Japanese Domestic Market car fans, mainly Hondas and Nissans, but we gather all Japanese brands there. Cheers.

Wow they are H&Rs? Any chance of getting a set?
If you seriously do not want those I will send you a set of USDM springs and pay the shipping of yours to get them!!! I am trying to lower my car at the moment and that would be great.

I really do not want to inspire another semantic battle so this is all I will say about it, but USDM in my usage implies a vehicle, possibly built elsewhere, that conforms to US rules and regulations. This is how I have known the **DM terms (USDM, JDM, EDM etc). I believe this is common knowledge. I have never heard USDM referred to as meaning "built in America" before and I do not believe that is what it means in the automotive world. Wikipedia didn't have much on USDM but referred to this article on JDM which is inline with my understanding of these terms: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Domestic_Market

Yeah I've always heard USDM used to mean cars built FOR the US. The best example I can think of is all the 240sx and integra's. The bumpers and grills are referred to as USDM parts, because the japanese body parts have a different look. I can't really agree with either of you because I don't know if the US market got different struts than other markets, but if they were indeed special they would fall into a USDM classification.
Early VWs, for example, were issued with a USDM bumper because of more strict safety standards here despite being built in other countries.

What does the D stand for? I think that ought to clear things up if you think hard enough.
There is a term called Federal Specification or for brevity Federal Spec, made just for this.

Would it just be USM then? I just figured it was "United States' Domestic Market" as in designed for our market, not necessarily from.
EDIT: For clarity, I'm not arguing just trying to figure it out.

I hear ya man, and there is no anger in my voice. Domestic means belonging to or from. In America, a domestic car is one made in America. In Japan a domestic car is one made in Japan. All Justys in America were imports and therefore are only domestic to Japan.

All Justys in America were imports and therefore are only domestic to Japan. Not angry here either. You are right about Justys being "Domestic to Japan" - in fact a "USDM Justy" is "Domestic Japan" as you say. A domestic product is one that is made here, and in addition to that, a "United States Domestic Market" vehicle is one that, regardless of country of manufacture, is designed to conform to United States standards and regulations. If it helps, think of "Market" as the distinguishing factor here. It is not a "Domestic product" it is a "Domestic Market" product, rather, a product designed for this domestic market even if it came from a different one. A USDM Justy is very different from a JDM Justy - one major difference is the side of the car which the steering wheel is mounted. Notice that '80s Honda Accords had completely different headlights in the rest of the world than they did here in the US - so they would conform to our different headlight regulations! Hope this helps make it a little more clear. English can be a funny thing sometimes. Plus, so can figuring out where a car is "from" these days! I have a friend who swears he thinks he being a bad person if he buys anything that "isn't American" as far as his cars. Latest purchase is a Pontiac G8 which, while being a nice car, isn't made here like say Honda Accords or Toyota Camrys. It would be hard to say an Accord is a "Domestic Product" yet they are made here in the USA and have been for over 20 years. It can be confusing sometimes.

Perhaps we will just have to agree to disagree. I think another concerned gentleman summed it up quite well and was more articulate than I in doing so.

That guy used the exact same example about integra noses as I did, but to enforce the opposite of my point. Only thing I thought was weird was he said that there was a Toyota Caviler! I've never been accused of paying much attention to the corporate side of cars, but I had no clue that Chevy and Toyota were tied in anyway? Are they? The pictures of the Toyota version of the cavalier certainly look a lot like the chevy.
Man this is some serious thread drift....

All of the Geo models were Japanese clones. The Geo Prism was a Toyota Corolla clone. Kevin Bacon once owned a Toyota. Boom!
