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?

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."
