well i was looking to import an EF9 over here to the states as a parts car and strip it out since i like the interior and they come stock with b16's......but i haven't found one yet just an 89 EF8 that's gray with a dohc ZC....itz an automatic...but itz only $1500 and itz $900 for shipping which is only $2400. here's my question...a friend said that he'd buy the shell if i got it and since he's gonna have to put a new engine and exhaust system on it...would that make it street legal since the emissions have been changed?? i know the main thing was emissions and the crash standards. but since the style was shipped to the states and resembles the ED6s and ED7s (88-91 civic hatchbacks) that we drive around do u think it would be a problem getting it legalized in the U.S.
