How hard would it be to bring a left hand drive car from Canada and have it Legally registered in the states? I'm just curious, I love this car and I wish I had the cash to go and pick it up. But with all of the nice parts he has why the OBX diff?

haichi roku shouldnt be a huge deal, they WERE sold here afterall. actually, do you know what year it is? its gotta be close to the legal no matter what age which i think is 20 something.

That corolla sucks though. It wouldn't be worth the effort. It's just got new paint, I can think of a ton of other ones in the states that are a million times cooler than that thing. And for 10k, you'd have better luck, finding one somewhere else in the states and having it shipped here than dealing with canadia bs.

There are better ones floating around in the USA.

But say if I found a stock one for dirt cheap or even a perfect RX7 (FC) that was LHD would you be able to register it? It seems like they have no problems registering cars from the US.

Find a canadian to drive it over the border for you. If the border patrol finds out that you just purchased the car and are driving it over the border, they are gonna slam you with taxes.

Have the guy drive it over the border then pay him for it here in the us.

you could always grab an old skyline or laurel, i think the R30s just hit legal anywhere age. an rs-x or rs-turbo would be badass and super rare here

Yeah, if you're gonna buy a canadian, get a cool car like a GT-R or something, you know, something you can't get here. ;)

The Skyline idea is good. A lot of people are actually importing R32's from canada.
