About Us
OUR story
Our Beginnings
Established in 2015, JDM Motorsport is a living tribute to the enduring passion and dedication of its founder, Selwyn. His lifelong infatuation with JDM cars, sparked during his teenage years by owning a Series 1 RX7 and later a R32 Skyline, followed by many years in the high performance / motorsport sector, sowed the seeds for the birth of JDM Motorsport.
From its humble origins in a small tin shed with just a hoist, toolbox, and Selwyn as the hands-on craftsman, JDM Motorsport has blossomed into the modern workshop it is today.
