So my buddy, who's been telling me my planned 3s swap is a waste (since I have an ST and won't be trusting myself with doing the work) just found out you can register a GT-Four stateside with no limitations. Now the only problem might be getting a whole one through customs and not a clip...but we do know about custom vehicle registration, right?
Since I live in New York, I found this: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/homemade.htm But...there are no kit car registration limitations, no...well really anything except lots of fees and waiting on inspections. Seriously, this is plausible to do, isn't it? Why aren't more of us doing it? Considering a GT-Four used is probably cheaper than a swap any day. --------------------  |

your guys best bet is for someone to create and sell a kit with templates and everything needed to make ur self a gt4, then buy a front clip ur awd parts and astank and trunk floor and go to town. ther was a build on here a guy was in the middle of doing this building cross members and he quit. he was on to something...be a good cash cow for someone for sure if they took the time and money to do it, then for about the right price you could have your gt4. or suck it up and move to canada, it aint bad we have sweet bacon, maple syrup, great tasting beer and all the jdm cars you can shake a stick at

Or, there's jmeyer's method. -------------------- |
