I think it would be less money to sell what you have and import a bb from japan, than to do what you are talking about

It has more to to with Federal Safety Standards. Anyway. The bB is only availible in Automatic. Plus with a AWD Drivetrain, it would produce less power to the wheels. You can import one, talk to a salvage yard in Japan. You just have to order a half car.

Got Skyline is having so many problems because he has to make the Skyline in par with American Standards. Which usually ranges around $20G

It's supposed to be a PITA, so it discourages the practice, IMO. Plus I believe there's rules against cars less than a few years old now...

hmm , i believe you can import cars of any year. i believe , i know 20 year old cars and older are alot easier and cheaper. and with some simple mods and rwd this car could easily drift.

or you could just buy a bb that is already here. i know where one is thats rhd is awd but it has no motor (read still has awd and trany and ecu) and it has no front sheet metal, meaning no bumper radiator core support or fenders, other than that it is fully intact with full interior and it is for sale. pm me for info if you are serious

brent

oh, btw it has no glass of mirrors....they are mine _____es!
