..very close but no cigar!

The second wheel you posted is a Rota wheel... a Spoon sw333 / desmond regamaster knockoff.

Desmond made those wheels for Spoon in Russia, there's no difference between the two except for the available sizes and colors.
The Rotas are manufactured in the Philipines.

The car should be going into the shop in the next few days to get the y pipe made and to take care of some electrical. Hopefully it will be on the road in a few weeks.

What he means is that since it's registered 2001, then it's a RHD version of it since in the USA the last years were 1995. So he wants to know how you registered a JDM vehicle in the US.

Oh and have fun with your car, I know I will when I get my own...

Pretty much what he said, lol.

I purposely bought mine in the states before moving to the UK because I knew that if I bought a UK version (or Japanese imported) than I wouldn't be able to bring it back with me w/o a TON of legal leg work (which might not work in the end, leaving me with either watching my car get crushed, or being registered in a less than legit manner)..

Anywho, enjoy the car ^_^ good luck with drive thru's ;-)
