Just wondering I'm sure that there are a number (not sure how many) on the West Coast, I have a friend who owns one . But how rare are they? I ask out of pure curiosity Thanks in advance.

 

How would anyone really know since they are all illegally imported.

Yes true, but just saying, 99% of them are illegaly braught through. Since there not on the list of eligable cars to be imported and all.

If it/they were illegall I'd be in jail and my car would have been crushed. You can drive nearly anything you choose in this country with the proper paperwork.

I really hate to hijack your thread and I apoligize but I would rather ask here instead of making a new thread since they are related. How hard is it to make a rhd Type R legal to drive on the roads here? I was told it isnt that hard since it is a car that is already over here meaning the DC2R was made available to the us market.

 

I second that Mike

 

I think it depends on the state, but I hear you can expect thousands of dollars in fees and work done to make it pass. I've seen non registered jdm type-rs go on here with frustrated owners selling them for pretty damn cheap. Registered type-rs on the other hand go for a pretty hefty price.

 

i got a registered right hand drive itr 97 spec

registered and legally from good ol chp themselves thanks

 

I appreciate all the info everybody, keep it coming

Hey, I'm not here to go reporting anyone or anything, because honesly I dont give a damn. I'm just giving out fair warning for all those that think its so simple just to get the car over and you take it to your DMV. Its not like that at all. Yes, certain cars can be here with the right paper work, but the other 98% of them that are here that snuck through customes and swapped vins or some BS like that could be exported or crushed at any time. I doubt they would put someone in jail. Just make you pay to get your car exported or crushed would be all.

 

bah you can probably exclusivly track an RHD R **** platings and legal crap

 

Yeah yeah of coarse. But I think most ppl are thinking about street legal cars.

 

heh, look at bryant on his soapbox.

b, you'll find that arguing about importing/registering jdm cars is futile. people will believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts. the points you made are correct though.

 

I would def like to find out more on this topic. I guess I'll start at online US DMV's. If the price is right, I'll bring mine back with me. If anybody knows where to find additional info let me know. thanks eric
