importing a rhd fd3s
 
anyone ever imported a rhd fd3s? I think it would be neat to have a rhd. What all fees are associated with it? is it plausable? or practical?

im sure its plauseible... do you have $40-$50k do drop on a rhd FD? personaly id rather buy a usdm fd for $15k and put the rest of the money into the car...

1. It's not legal for street use. You would have to trailer it to the racetrack or car show circuit. If you get caught driving an illegal vehicle, they'll impound it. There is no way around this, unless you spend $100,000+ to have a few RHD cars crash-tested by the government, and then convert the electrical system to OBD-2 if the car is newer than 1996.

2. The Japanese aren't known for their well-kept automobiles. According to a Marine friend of mine, "most people don't know how to pump their own gas."

wow its that much i looked at some at an auction and they were going for 400,000 yen which should be about 4,000.00 according to my economics book, i read something about having a tyres fee and duty fees and such but i had no idea it would cost 40,000.00 to get one here. i have a usdm fd3s but just though it would be neat
