Frogg Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 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.'

-asakura Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 all i need now is the snow and the snow showed up 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Oh well, high rpm's in 2nd get that back end coming out enough in the snow for now 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). Edited December 21, 2010 by -asakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-asakura Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 VERY NICE SHOTS! Love it! Also, I got backed into today while my car was parked (I wasn't there). And need a new hood and front bumper. Which is fun because I just got her back from two days of maintenance that cost $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolflegacy Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 -asakura that sucks man but think about it this way its a good opportunity to mod a custom bumper and a scooped hood =D Dodik nice shots in deed that's a lot of snow i wish i had that much as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-asakura Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-asakura Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) 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.

wolflegacy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 finally we are getting the much waited snow it has been snowing for the past week so let the fun begin sorry for the quality its all the phone can do =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-asakura Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
