I know JDM is expensive, of higher quality, and just plain cool to have because it's rare and different here in the States, but is it vica-versa in Japan? Will they pay top dollar for a left hand drive Si or parts over there?

hmm not sure but my dad said he heard that they play like 60k and up for a stang GT i'd trade for a GTR and add an airfreshner to the deal! not sure if thats true but thats what i've heard

holy shit
I'm about to start an overseas car-shipping business if that's true. It costs what, maybe $10k to ship a car to Japan? ~$35k(?) Stang + $10k = $45k, sell for $60k, there's a $15k move...

i dont think the dig left hand drive cars.. and most racers in japan dont mess with honda.. when they got all the great nissan power gtr,s13,s14,sr20det's ... and over there its more about getting side ways so rear wheel drive is the thing.. you know supras,skylines,silvias,old toyotas stuff like that dont get me wrong there are honda lovers over there i just dont think its that many..

Ever seen that lame Super Tunerz show where they're going sideways in old Silvia's and the like? I'd rather have one of those too, especially how relatively cheap they are over there (compared to shipping them here).
