had a question, since this area has the most importing topics on the board, been looking thru ri's and also emailed a few, no one emailed me back does any one here know how hard it would be to import a 89 mr2 turbo , thought it might be easy cause they sell mr2's in the states and the one i got has almost the same motor as the one in the states ( 2nd gen motor with 220 hp not the 3rd gen with 245 hp )

the best thing would be to contact an ICI about that sort of thing. they would know the specifics about how to go about importing one, but the easiest and cheapest way would be to just do a front clip swap + firewall and dash. but an ICI would tell you exactly how to get one in.


EDIT: talking to the NHSTA/DOT directly wont do much, just because RHD vehicles are automatically out of the question when it comes to importation.

Its an 89 I think they would be leanant but it is a mid engine so I'm not sure but the R.I that I know does toyota's, mazdas an mitsu's.

Found it -

EvolutionImports.com and Japimportsusa.com are two known scam sites.

The first sign is that the only address on the website is a PO Box, something anyone can go to the Post Office and get. They list no physical address for you to go to and confirm their business license.

Second, any importer of non-US vehicles must be a Registered Importer (RI) with the NHTSA and DOT. Here's the list of registered importers:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules...st07142004.html
There is no RI by the name of Evolution Imports or any RI in Orlando for that matter.

Third, they claim to be able to import JDM Integras, Evos, Suburus, etc. Since they are JDM models, they are RHD. NHTSA has a list of non-US vehicles eligible for importation:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules...ELIG071404.html
If you read that, RHD models are identified on the list. There is only one RHD vehicle on the list as elgible, the Skyline, which Motorex can do. So Evolution Imports is making false claims to import street legal JDM Evos, etc.

Lastly, always check with the Better Business Bureau before dealing with an unknown business, especially on the internet. Here's what comes up when you check on Evolution Imports:
http://www.orlando.bbb.org/nis/news...733000012002719

Notice again, no physical address recorded. Also, read under Customer Experience:
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s).

This is a dead give away of an internet scam site. If you do give them money, where are you going to go to get it back if they never answer you? Nowhere, since you have no physical address.

Great! Big deal a 7 whoooop deee dooooo! haha if you think its an accomplishment its not try getting an S13 an R33 or Jz into the states then lets see what happens to your "import business". JW - Where do you ship your cars for the testing? And how long does it take? What 3 key things the Gov looks at besides emissions when they clear a car for llegality? So whos your boss that signs the clearance for it to be on us roads?
