Default Importing Type R

I know this is a bit far-fetched but I am seriously considering importing a new Honda Integra Type R(rsx). does anyone know where or how to go about doing this or finding information. Phone calls to make?

I know it would be a lot of money...but I mean to me I think it would be worth it. right hand drive, Recaro's, etc, and just it beng one-of-a-kind...

So is this possible for under 35k? And if not how much?

Please if anyone knows about importing cars help me out! Thanks, shea.

shiping wouldnt be a problem etc.. you can fly over there purchase one.. get an importer and load it in the container.. once it arrives to first US port.. who ever you use as your broker if you say the car will be for race use only then no need to meet us oem standards if you want to register it it will need to meet those standards before it is released to enter the country. I have heard of people importing them as race use only cars then going to dmv and telling them that its a kit car put together and getting the registration.. or if you know someone that had been importing parts from japan for a while.. you can load up a car in their container and dont even mention that a car is in there.. hope they dont flag it for exam.. if they do you'll get fined big time.. otherwise you'll get your car here with no hassle but it is a risk you take..
