Seems like a waste of money for an automatic SR20DE with an automatic, simply to have the novelty of RHD, pass on it

cheap kouki and n/a 300zx, but hardly worth the hassle IMO; and not necessarily cheaper when all is said and done.

There are ways to be street legal, some legal, some not, but it really depends on your state's registration laws. Aznpoopy is right, not necessarily worth it in the end. I should know, I have one!

^^^ And you're in Michigan, he is in California, now I want you to tell me how this would be a monetarily sound way of going about it in Cali, and THEN I want you to justify even going through with it, given the fact that it is SR20DE (no T) AND automatic

since the car is an auto and the NA sr20 its really not worth trying to bring the car over

as for importing a car for track purposes only.......you can't do that unless you have written verification from the MANUFACTURER that the car was in fact built for racing purposes...or stating that there has been enough modifications done to the car (prior to importation) to justify the classification of the car as a race car.......if you don't have that major component you won't get the car in legitimately as a race car

Late,
Daniel

^^^ That would lend some monetary practicality to importing an otherwise useless car, and you would more than make your cash back on selling that car into a crazed fanboy's market

I think he mean dash. Or specifically RHD to LHD. Really that isn't a big factor. I seen a few RHD honda around my area. No big deal these days. More rice to me than anything.

I think the fact that he has had a right hand drive car in the States and you have'nt is enough facts. Also 4400 for a q's is just stupid, you can get those for around 1500-3000 in Japan. 4 lug, auto, non turbo, no thanks.

Youre right its not worth buying, what I was disagreeing with was your comment about it being inconvenient. It has its advantages, and no 999 people asking you if its a skyline is not one of them.

Diseases and cars are different,no one in their right mind wants aids. Once again you compare apples and oranges, I love how you always do this with your "analogies". I also disagree with your statement because it might be cheaper then a kouki in the states but it is still going to be harder to register and still 4 lug and auto.

okay, first of all it isn't comparing diseases to cars, genius, its comparing two situations where i have the exact same opinion in relation to what i know. if someone offered me an S15 i'd sell it and buy a car that was lhd why? cause rhd in america is retarded and i simply do not like it. like the hansons or gay porn, its just fuggin queer and i do not need to drive one or swap one to be qualified to say this since the only difference is that the driver would be on the wrong side of the car.

what you feel to be my arrogance is only my superiority contrasted by your inferiority. if you didn't suck so much and constantly use bad logic i wouldn't need to point out your falicies.

i'm not even gonna bother with your other crap due to the fact that you can't even keep up when i take baby steps.

G_Fish240 and Makoto, If you'd like to continue this conversation I'd suggest you take it to PM or find some other means. I'm sick of every thread that one of you posts in turn into a debate with the other one. It's perfectly fine not to agree with each other, just stop hijacking threads with your debates.

Now back to the thread already in progress. Thank You.
