How is a JDM SVX different from USA?
I know it's a RHD. Someone wrote about a JDM car, "That car is a top-spec "Version L" 4 wheel steer model with a 3.70 VTD transmission." What does all this mean?

Basiclly the JDM car has 4 wheel steering (back wheel turn slitly to help with cornering) and it has a 3.70:1 differential. THe US models were not available with 4 wheel steering and had different gearing. otherwise the cars are preety much the same.

Differences between JDM and USA models
1) 4 wheel steering on VL model. 2) VTD gearbox with a 35 front / 65 rear torque split and "diff lock" fuse. (as opposed to the 90:10 clutch operated system on USDM cars) 3) 3.70 differential ratio. 4) Ventilated rear brake disks. 5) Auto headlight turn-on on VL model. 6) Different climate control system to US model. 7) Electric folding wing mirrors 8) "Power Mode" button 9) Clear turn signals with orange repeaters behind front wheel arches 10) Lights are wired differently 11) Automatic door locking 12) Infrared remote control key for drivers door 13) JDM spoiler 14) Distress flare 15) "Boxer" throttle body cover. 16) Alcyone hood ornament and rear light panel 17) 12 disc CD changer on VL model. (sometimes with optional steering wheel controls) 18) Optional air purifer on some models. and probably a whole load of other things I can't remember at present.

The ECU programming is definitely different because one of the Aussie guys had a compatibility problem with LAN's Stage 1 chip in his JDM ECU.

This may or may not be related but, since there is a JDM difference thread... What center caps were used on alcyone models without BBS rims. Did Alcyone vehicles have the directional rim option?
