All I know is, don't bother unless your willing to under go massive delays and headaches (I just know that well happen since I mean its the government after all), and be willing to spend a lot of cash to bring your car to US standards... I mean if its your dream car go for it.

 

I would love to have an JZX100 chaser

 

I'm trying to get a r-32 in june. The guy is in south carolina and I still have to go check everything out.

 

If you want to import a car that wasn't available in the states, plan on buying 4 of them. Three for the government to crash for DOT safety, and one to keep. The plan on changing all the glass to US spec, emissions, safety equipment (if it fails), then plan on fighting the DOT, EPA, and other bureaucracies to get paperwork done to make it official and award you a VIN. Then pray that the VA DMV will accept the federal paperwork and VIN and let you register it.

Read what Motorex went through, it's a full time, capital intensive process that will lead you into poverty... especially in this economy (as a business), or take up all your time and money (as an individual). I would just settle for a USDM car. S2000s are going for dirt cheap right now.

 

Good post S2K_Guy.
