ok before i get flamed THIS HAS BEEN DONE...BUT NOT WITH A GT4...And is kinda expensive unless you can get to a country that has gt4s...My friends buddy lee was stationed over in japan..he bought a 96 STI and removed the engine...shipped it to america then shipped the fame out and registered it as a "kit car" and it is now sittin in his drive way in michagain..complete JDM 96 Subaru Impreza STI...If he could have done this with an STI we could do the same thing with the GT4's. Simple ship the engine and frame out in to seperate crates! Now there im sure there are other issues involving this but this is what i heard...im almost positve there is red tap through out this entire process but he got the car to america and is drive it legally!! Of course you would have to know someone in japan, the uk..etc to get the car or you could go there yourself...but if it works with this impreza then it more then likey can work with the gt4's

so im TRYING to keep a tally of what needs to be fixed. your saying at the most (WITH emissions) you should get a private seller to ship you the car (motor less or not?) then when you get it you need to replace the windshield with ours (a normal celi windshield should work right?) and then you need to have a cat (can just use high flow outside of cali) and EGR setup which im sure can re taken care of at worst you need to swap a 2nd gen 5g alltrac motor in (built up the 3rd gen motor isnt any different). what else am i missing???
