Is it a problem to import a right hand drive car?
I am looking at a right hand drive Crx right now that is in england and I am wanting to get it shipped to california. I was wondering if there would be any complications on it not being street legan or anything. - thanks
right hand drive cars are completely legal....

yeah they are. the problem youll have is since its not made to american standards your gonna have a bitch of a time to have a ref check it all out. some guy on this board just got his skyline.
two ways.... in pieces or as a whole...
in pieces, all you do is register the car as a kit car and dmv will give you a vin, i dont know what else you need
as a whole... car needs to be crash tested, and rhd and lhd isnt the same car, thats why motorex(skyline importer) is the only company that can bring over skylines because they crash tested quite a few of them... also run into problems getting it onto american soil....
thats all I know, but most people I know who had/have shipped/purchased rhd cars were brought over in pieces

There was a big thread about this about a month ago, and no it's not that easy, it's a pain and it'll cost you a ton of money. I'll see if i can find it.
