A friend of mine is one of those, he sold his integra because he wanted a 240sx so bad. He eventually ended up with a SC300 (wannabe soarer) which is decent. Personally I'd choose a FC or FD RX7.

You gotta understand though that when the Silvia came here during the late 80s - early 90s it came with KA24DE. Which is a one ton pickup truck engine. So not many people went crazy about it.
But now people just realized that they can go fast with SR swap and maybe look cool cuz they think 240SX+SR20DET = Tsuchiya aka drift king so the whole trend got caught on.

then years later - rice a roni company rota finally catches the jdm craze idea and releases the rota slipstream - a total rice wheel and company imo. and they sell like hot cakes.
rota = wanna be jdm but dont wanna spend jdm money or time looking for it
so yea this whole jdm thing is crazy - as well as this "i gotta have a 240 or ae86" thing. and you're right about how alot of people turned away from honda.
nissan motors and parts are so much cheaper tho - and you can get more power for less money, but i'm fine my tsx, uh i mean jdm euro r
