Wha? What maintenance cost of an EJ motor? They are just as reliable as any normal Japanese motor... and besides - me and a couple friends can have an EJ motor out AND back into an Impreza in about 2 hours. Beats any Toyota I know for that...

Makes me glad to live in NZ we have quite relaxed importing laws and right hand drive thus allowing us all the JDM performance cars (possiably to the detrement of the local car industry) so skylines, GT-4's etc are resonably easy to get hold of.

hey,
i own the indiana GT4 .. i used to live up in northern indiana but now live in cincinnati area .. i dont post a bunch .. car is still at shop in dubuque,ia getting fixed .. i just turned 32 today and let me just say nothing would make me happier but to be driving my st205 tonight .. i am super anal and consider the st205 a classic car and my body guy does not fix cars half ass so sourcing a undamaged st205 front end rad support has been a pain but i have one located in US .. i am repairing car to 100% the way it was before accident except swapping to any 98 spec parts like projectors , dash trim , etc... car has been in US for year and a half.. i am sick of talking about legalizing topic but trust me it is so over hyped on net it is not funny .. getting car into US is much bigger issue ..

QUOTE(95CelicaST @ Mar 24, 2006 - 10:13 AM) [snapback]412564[/snapback] QUOTE Does anyone know what it would take to import one? Several thousand for shipping? You would need to have the engine removed and shipped seperately from the body, that way you can register the body and engine as "Parts". Once it is over here you can just reinstall and register as a Kit Car, but I think you still have to pass emissions. 96 gt4 in good condition(less than 90k miles) from japan 7200USD Shipping to a US port 1800USD to start Customs 250-1000USD Vehicle modifications* 5000-15000USD 210hp awd beast on US roads priceless *numerous frame and body reinforcements necessary to make DOT legal, not to mention emmisions considering the 3rd gen 3sgte doesn't even have an egr valve(a necessity where i live) So I recommend just importing an engine direct. |
