most south american countries get GERMAN spec cars , wich are lhd ,
s14 came sr'ed powered lhd from the factory as for s15's
the issue is there arent that many, germans love beemers and benz's
as for removing a car from south america to the states
nearly impossible
federal laws and taxes are a bitch
one paragraph of stipulacions prohibits modified interiors (becuase of airbags and shit) also it wasnt cost efective
i have a 96 gc8 in argentina and a 95 lancer gt , both cars i purchased back in 03 and by summer of 05 gave up on bringing them here, to much bullshit, and the cost was retarded high, even finding a shipping company that would ship the car, they normally go south with cars and back north with fruits and vegetables
also the fitment game
its about income
tires are about the same price as the states( 17x45x225 = 235u$s/ 18x40x225 =250u$s aprox) ...... those are 2 comun tire sizes in the oem world, per tire , now a family of 4 needs about 600u$s a month and makes about that much if not less a month , so either eat or get 1 tire a month, or just slap on whatever comes with it
by the way im from mendoza argentina about 800km from santiago chile living in florida
