RHD isn't the problem, crash standards and emissions are. Not to mention fees.

Ryan is correct but if you really want it I can put you through my Japan exporter. It's not cheap but what is these days with a strong yen

Exactly!!I was going to ship a 1990 honda integra and i went to my local DMV and asked them what is needed to get it done.They will give you a list.I do recall her asking me what kind of car and saying that honda was easy its the euro cars that are harder as stated the smog is the pain.Crash standards like bumpers, etc need to be converted at the dock with all paper work before taking the car or if you have the cash you can get someone one to get it for you and just have it towed to your house.Cali rules suck

Can't find a good car to start with that isn't too expensive. What I REALLY want is another L like I used to have. And then work from there
