Importing and shipping costs would be insane...

 

[Rockin03mp5]

and i dont think you could get a right hand drive car to be street legal here.

 

[psyco-joe]

another company i found has a standard shipping rate of 3000 USD for a container that can fit up 3 cars and 4000 USD for a container that can fit up to 4 cars. And you can get RHD cars street legal but you must know your local state laws and comply with DOT safety regulations by proving the safety rating of the car complies with DOT standards, Also you need to comply with emition standards. and FYI, cars over 15 years old are much easier to import if you can prove some kind of historical signifigance. Also if you import it as just a show car or race car that makes it much easier to get it thorugh customs then you can later try to make it street legal when its already sitting on ur drive way ready to run

this is were i got my import regulations info if u wanna take a look http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/

 

[Saskatchewan17]

What about the whole "any car under 20 years old can not be imported" rule?

 

[psyco-joe]

i never heard that rule. there is one thing that states any car 25 years or older is automatilcy elgible to be imported. however it does not mean that cars under younger than that cannot be imported. It just means it takes more work to get them in.

 

[iSpoon]

It would just be amazing to be at an event like that regardless of if I have a car in it or not.

 

[psyco-joe]

true dat ispoon, i'll roll up in my sick ol 88hp mx-3 i dont give a dam lol

 

[6s_wagon]

Here's a thread of mine...selling mine, already here in CA, and don't have to worry about shipping...Yes, shipping right now from Japan is insane...

[psyco-joe]

thanks for the heads up but i cant afford that, srry. as far as the link of the modified car i posted earlier i did that cuz that what i want but way in the future, not cuz i could actually get it now.


btw Antoine good vid of the redbull fd. I saw it run at the redbull formula D championship round and it was amazing!!! when the 4 rotor was on full throttle it sounded like gods rath.
