the shop i work at has imported a couple jdm rhd vehicles for project cars (sorry we dont do it for anyone else) and all we do is ship it as parts but you dont need to take apart the whole car. you can just ship the motor and the rest of the car seperately.

I don't see any reason why it won't be possible to ship a japanese car over here.. i do know it's gonna cost you a grip to do that but it's possible... you have to pass smog though if you wanted to drive it here legally plus you would need to convert the car to left hand drive which i don't know if that's all possible to do here in the US.. back in my country they do those conversions like they're just changing your oil lol

it is not illegal to drive a rhd car in any state i'm aware of.

the car in question is 100% legal in fl to own and drive. rhd is not a problem. registering it is the problem and i am planning on cheating the system by using an old hot rod trick and see if it works.


I JUST NEED THE CAR ON A DAMN BOAT.

its legit to do it here in AZ, I've seen quite a few driving around here. you can pretty much drive anything out here as long as it passes emissions which is pretty easy. 96 and newer they just plug into the OBDII, and 95 and lower they hook up to the sniffer.
