Re: importing from japan

i know the conversion process is going to cost money, but heres my idea. the cost of fd rx7's in japan is about half of what they are here, meaning they fall in right aroun 6 thousand dollars. i was looking for someone who could tell me what would need to be changed, or had experience with importing vehicles from other countries. i read an article about a land rover this guy bought and the conversion cost 8 grand. this rover was on the list of importable vehicles, so im thinking that buying a $6000 rx7 in japan and having them legalize it for $8000 or less wouldnt be that bad an idea considering all the rx7's (93+) in the us have gone for $15000 or more. in the end it would cost just as much as buying a well taken care of machine over here except with less miles on it and = or less money spent. plus then i get to drive on the wrong side of the car which i think would just freak people out.
