He can't tell you how to make it legal. He'd probably tell you if you bought it though.

its a long proocess but the first step you should do is go to the D.O.T. web site or call them up and tell them your situation, they will tell you what u need to do and where you will have to go and get it inspected at. at inspection they will ask for crash test ratings and some other stuff, if your lucky they will look it up or if they are a dick they wont and say u need to bring it(i dont thik they will have it since they didnt make it here but **** ya never know). if they say that u need to got the D.O.T web site and look up car importers in your state. contact them and they should have the information you need but u know they will charge you. they might not give it to you because they might of did the crash testing them self and wabt you to import the whole car from them(call everyplace till you find one). since this car is not 20 years old you are GOING TO NNED THIS INFORMATION. after you get all that settled you get it inspected (granted you got the paper work in order). at inspection heres a tip make sure everything works if the guys a dick who dose the inspection and you got a broken licience plate light he will fail you.(testing is alot of money pass or fail i forgot the price)after all that hard work and you will recive a new vin number and vin badges. thats how u get it legally into the united states but then you not done. since your car is not from the us your going to fail you smog test(lucky you if you dont have it in your state) go to some one who can pass you if you pay them(some one will do it but remmber most people dont do taht kinda test for 4wheel drive cars, i dont know how thats done) after all that. you shoul be good. this is just in breif of what you should do i have a link that tells u the whole process from buying the car but im to lazy to look for it hope this helps you a bit, ill probly edit this later ,didnt really check some stuff when i wrote it

Thanks

its that simple to get a full GT4 here? Sounds too easy. There have been many a topics started about this process...

dont get it twisted its not that simple i just put it in breif, you stuill have to get it threw customs thats the hard part, inpections is the hardest part spcialy if your paper work is not in order. this is a very hard and long process i would say about 5 months it might be street legal if ya lucky.cuz there is a waiting list for inspection , customs people are dixks some times and u got to get the car fixed to d.o.t specs. if your from ny it will be harder(im gussing cali 2) becasue there is a smog test and when u get inspection from the dot they do smog right there so when u fail u just lost x amount of money for the inspection and the time you had to wait for you to get picked. i will say again this not going to be easy. i have a list of cars that can be imported (rhd) to america because the dot has the crash test ratings for these cars

I'm in MN we don't have SMOG...I should sell my Clipse I just bought and get that thing. If I sold my Clipse and Celi I could buy that and fix it and have it legal...mmmmm two AWD Turbo cars...nummmy

On that note, lemme get back to you tomorrow.

I have about 5 grand and im from md, i should buy this

hmmmm

how much u think repair is gonna cost?

would it be easier to just put all those parts on my celica gt, it would be legal i wouldnt have to pay to fix it but it wouldnt be 4 wheel drive

unless i could somehow put that on my car too

how's the motor?

i was thinking the same thing , like take all of those parts of that car and put them on mine and bamn i would have a gt4. owell.
just a note for everyone i dont work for the company that has that car if you need more imformation go to japan-partner.com, i happen to have an account with since i got a car from them. all you have to do is set up an account. if you need more imformation on getting the car here just ask me and ill send you some links and point you in the right way.
p.s. if you really want to get a car over her easy , because its going to be hard to get the wrc here they got skylines for dirt cheap and dot allows you to import them , if they are gtrs, gts models

i dont know the describtion says start
