What are common reliability mods for JDM cars?
Common reliability upgrades include an aftermarket radiator or at minimum a flush and new thermostat (Japanese roads run at different temps than US highways), upgraded intercooler piping to replace aging OEM silicone, a cooling system pressure test to find leaks, a boost leak test, fresh boost hoses, and a wideband O2 sensor install for tuning. On turbocharged cars, an oil catch can prevents crankcase vapors from fouling the intake.

Before making promises about collection, coordinate the inspection, paperwork, seller release and transport. Give each part of the purchase its own check.
