not sure if you know this yet, but the 94-99 gt-four was never brought to the states.
there are a few that have made it here. saw one for sale online a long time ago, jdm, right-hand-drive, titled, dot-approved lights, no idea about the engine, or insurance options. i think i've seen a few awd converted cars go up for sale on here too. iirc there may still be that one in cali for sale. no gas tank yet i think, but all the super hard work had been done. |

There was a guy selling a full ST205 conversion in Oregon just before Christmas. That one was going for $14K - $16K
At that price I would just buy a newer, more reliable car. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I swear...we get a thread like this every year lol. If you don't have money, keep what you have because you need deep pockets to get one on the road. If you get caught driving it and it's not legally registered, good luck. You lose both money and car, which is bad.

My friend, please take a good gander at the stickies. Many have swapped from the 7A-FE to the 3S-GTE, and there are quite a few cases of the 7A-FTE setup. Throwing a turbo on the 7A-FE is safe, the issue is that it takes a bit of tuning and a good bit of money, and at the end you may find yourself close to the cost of swapping a 3S-GTE. However, I find the end ideal is worth it. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Mar 6, 2012 - 10:34 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I imagine it'd be easier to get one titled in a state like Alabama. They don't do emissions, much less inspect the car. I've never had to apply for a title though. So I'm not sure what all that'd entail inspection wise, especially with it being an import and not USDM. All in all I imagine your best chances of getting a U.S. title for it would be somewhere like here though. Of course, I have nowhere near the money for any of this and if I did I'd just get a Corvette and a 5th gen All-Trac. So good luck to you.

Try getting in touch with those that own those cars and ask what all was needed to get a U.S. title for it.
