Jongers brilliant White FD sold

I always wanted my dream FD to be a white base model version. Since Jongers just sold I was a little worried that my chance slipped away. I am still looking for advancement in this state and I don't think I will leave. I like this place too much to do that. As a result I might be selling all my cars for now. You know thats fine, I need a little stability in my life and look towards a future. My own house, blah blah blah. Maybe I won't be a young to when I get back to my dreams but atleast I won't half-*** them like most do. I mean look at Kai, his FD is awesome

So I got to thinking, if there are few FD's left in the U.S and one day I make alot more money **** it, this is my solution

FC's are really Old as far as Japan is concerned, it is harder to keep a older car in Japan over time. It is why you see alot of awesome AE86's, and to own a car in Japan is much more expensive.

I know most will say, "It is RHD it will be a bitch to leaglize" well it is well worth it when I am rocking a 1996 FD or newer

That's is when you ship the car in pieces to make it cheaper. :P

You ship the shell and the motor seperate, its easyer for customs. I don't know the exact reasons why. I had no clue its cheaper. seems it would be cheaper in the car less space taken. Takes awhile to get things from japan though. I waited six months for parts once.

That FC also comes with a power FC for a FC. I'm to lazy and broke to do the math of what that car would cost.

shipping in pieces is what some US s15 owners have done. If you ship the shell, and have it labeled under as a parts car you wont get hassled by customs and you will get the container shipment with less wait time.

or

If you ship the the car as a whole, and don't label the shipment manifest correctly, and have it tagged for "offroad use only". Customs will hold your car for a very long time, or send it to the crusher. If you do list it under "offroad use only" you cannot register it in the US as a streetlegal car without paying several hefty fines, and doing a stack of paperwork.

or

If you use a licensed importer to ship you the car as a whole. You can get it registered and tagged with a US vin. But the overhead fee is astronomical for US importers

or

You can buy an imported car from canada, and have to deal with fee's and paperwork.

Or you could just pick up a FD here, and save yourself a lot of money.

RHD is overrated...

not buying because of RHD alone, Newer year FD's for sale, more color selection, more choices.

Naw I'd still rather have a RHD import. seems pointless to have a rhd domestic. I do like domestics though. but the corvette in covette sumer with mark hammel was rhd.

current comments kind of drifted away from the point I was trying to make. It is not all about RHD but the nessisarry reason to import an FD of my choice.
