I live in Okinawa Japan and Im trying everything I can to get my car back to the states without tearing it apart. Does anyone out there know how to get a 94 Toyota Celica back to the states without tearing it apart. Please hit me back ASAP with some answers.

It sounds so much work imo, all that trouble to have your rear wheel pulling the car.
Just so you know, the people around here who gets skyline and such, they all say it's a pain in the ass to get parts and very expensive to keep them rolling, there's all sort of little things you can't think about, might it be a simple part like a ball joint/struts or a 3rd gen 3sgte only part..they all have to be ordered and you're left with a very expensive car that can't be used for weeks or months...they are 15 years old and more after all. And what more, you need to do bodywork, alot of cars come in with destroyed paint job and dents, a guy around here got a nice fd3s and the roof was collapse in the shipping (and it's not the type of shipping you can insurance claim). Food for thought. It's expensive to drive jdm car This post has been edited by Rayme: Apr 6, 2008 - 4:31 PM --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Food for thought. It's expensive to drive jdm car But its to own my dream car. I could careless if it was 30 years old. If its the car I have always wanted, I'm not going to stop for spit to own one. Yes, it may be a lot of work, but well worth it imo. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
