Importing right hand drive FD's

Does anybody know what the requirements for converting right hand drive FD's over to US standards are? I understand that it is typically very expensive simply to get a true JDM car into the country. That aside, does anybody know what is needed? or atleast a credible source I can check to find out??

(I am a military type and about to get stationed overseas. The Navy will ship cars for free when moving out of country.I believe I found a loophole, it will ship your vehicle back with you. I don't think that you are required to have the same car you originally brought with you upon return to the states ^_^.)

There are some *very* clean looking FD's over in England..

You should check with the military on your questions. IIRC, you can bring a car with you back to the states, however, its only for a temporary basis (i.e. something like 2 years). Basically, they are giving you time to get US car.

ahh, i guess we got it easy up in canada. and as long as the car is 15 years old the only thing we have to do is book the next boat back from japan. and since FD's are gonna be legal for import in about 2 months....well you get my drift. thats were im gonna be getting my FD.

Crazy Canadian,

Yeah, same here. Was stationed in Japan and luckily they sent me next to Italy. Love it here... never had to convert anything. Come Dec 2008 when I leave here I pray I don't go back stateside just so I can keep my baby.
