Kyūsha  /kjuːʃə/

A Japanese word for “old car.”
The vehicles we love and the history we preserve.

Pittsburgh Kyūsha was founded in 2021 to provide a home for the many RHD JDM owners in the Pittsburgh area.

Despite the iconic status of JDM vehicles within US car culture, many owners and enthusiasts are not traditional “car people” and do not always have the knowledge, support, and resources available to them to make ownership feasible. With the increasing popularity of RHD imports, creating a space for networking among owners, sharing these resources, and celebrating Japanese automotive history became a necessity.

We are dedicated to fostering a supportive community for existing and future owners, along with educating enthusiasts about Japanese automotive history and its connection to the broader culture. By sharing our passion and actively supporting local Japanese cultural groups, we strive to celebrate and preserve a slice of cultural history in an ever-changing world.

As we continue to grow, so will our opportunities to educate and excite.
