I brought that one. Found it in UK. Still a lot to do but that's the weekend project 🤷🏽♂️😂. I have videos on my YT channel under tony west diy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKa...LMPNN7Py93656Q
I know I had difficulty bringing my FD back from the UK when I PCS'd back here, and mine was a USDM car to begin with!!! I had recently swapped in an aftermarket hood and the importers wouldn't accept it until I was able to physically provide them the plate from the hood which confirmed that the car met EPA standards as produced.. It was pretty ******* annoying!
That, and if you haven't already received your car from the port than I would be VERY thorough with your inspection once it's state side.. They damaged the **** out of my front bumper in transportation then falsified their paperwork to indicate that it was damaged when I turned it in to them... If I didn't have my carbon copy of the inspection sheet with me then the shipping company would have laughed at my claim and told me to **** right off!

Ah, I see. Were you able to successfully import it already?

Also, I denied the dot inspection as well. I paid out of pocket as well because I knew the army was going to complaint and make things harder. The car is already registered as a classic and again the process was smooth.
I'm glad to hear it made it over fine

HOOAH!!
Who is this again? Haha J/K Scott. Glad to see the old girl has returned to form. What are the numbers now? Do you have a dyno sheet? We haven't been meeting up as much recently but we still do every now and then. CFA died for a while during the reconstruction and just hasn't really been the same since. A couple of guys go to morning events now instead so post up if you are heading to a meetup and some people might show up to say hi. Hopefully we get a spring cruise in ~March.

Hey Scott, do the guys at RPM/UPR have a dyno in-house? Once I get my FD back and do the break in I'll need to find a shop that'll let me rent out a day for tuning... there's a shop like 15 min from my house, but they seem squeamish about letting another tuner in and even more so about letting a tuner remote in to make changes 
I figure a rotary shop may be more willing...

Not yet...Mike Quinn expects to have one in the Spring....would have been earlier but they had to move out of their last building to a new facility in Hagerstown (closer for me anyway). And now he owns that place so he can invest in the dyno....I know I will need him to have it in place so he can tune Roxanne.
