japan-partner.com is one. i havent bought anything from them so i dont no all it takes. heres something off there site about performance cars.

 

 

Importing used JDM High Performance Vehicles (and other used vehicles) into the USA is difficult, but not impossible.

Any vehicles being imported to the USA needs to have been certified to comply with US safety and environmental standards, i.e. they need to have a DOT and an EPA mark.

Unfortunately almost all vehicles sold outside the USA do not have such marks.

They can however nevertheless be imported with the help of a Registered Importer, who can bring them into compliance with US regulations.

You can find a comprehensive list of Registered Importers following this web address: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/web_complete_RI_list5108.pdf

Going through an RI can be very expensive though.

A cheaper alternative may be to dismantle the vehicle you want and ship it by container to the US.

This is not an infringement of US laws as long as the vehicle will not be reassembled in the US. Most JDAM high performance cars in the US have been brought into the country this way.

Furthermore, there are two categories of vehicles that can be imported to the US relatively easily:

Mini Trucks (http://www.japan-partner.com/kei-truck.html) and RHD Jeep Cherokees.

'Q: Do you sell vehicles to customers from USA?

We sell our cars only to those customers from USA that already had previous experience of importing japanese vehicles to USA and are aware of the whole procedure of its importing.'

all i need now is the snow :)

 

 

and the snow showed up :lol:

 

I got really excited when it finally snowed, it felt wonderful to play around in the snow again. I got a pretty good picture of my car after playtime was over too, I'll have to post it sometime.

 

I just wish she had more power, won't be able to do much to her under the hood or aesthetically until after I graduate college though. *sigh*

Jealous! At least you only have to wait 6-ish months though, I have to wait 2+ years before I can drop what I want into it. :lol:

 

Oh well, high rpm's in 2nd get that back end coming out enough in the snow for now :p

 

Although, I did pick up some Rain-X wipers the other day and I absolutely love them and I can't believe how excited I was to get them. Then I picked up some Mechanix gloves (finally).

Eh, I'm just getting a new hood and bumper. Unfortunately I don't have the means to buy anything really worthwhile yet seeing as how the car isn't *technically* mine yet.

 

Oh well, I'm good with a new hood and bumper. If only someone would hit my rear bumper....

The car is out of the shop a full two days earlier than I thought it would be. I'm going for a very long drive tonight.

 

Edit: Here's my only picture, from mid-December after some fun.

Very nice pics! Makes me want to take some semi-legit iPhone pics next time I go out. Is that just a winter setup?

 

We got some more snow in central Illinois today and I took a couple of my friends out in the snow with me and they were a little impressed. Being able to do circles around a light pole is pretty cool, even for me.

 

 

Not really worthy pictures though but I took some from my balcony after the fact. Ideally it'll snow tomorrow in the early evening and I can get in a good session and take some decent pics.

Fair enough! I just need to start saving up for a setup at all, haha.

 

Here's a picture of the snow we got on Friday night and a picture of my car from my balcony after I took her out for a little bit.
