Importing a GT4 (Revisited) Options

[K12UDE]

If there was enough interest I might be able to lay my hands on a few GT4’s & maybe a GT4 WRC or 2 & get them over to the US.

That GT4 racing the 911 race car is Tony's from Fensports if memory servers me correct that car is something else you should see the spec of it!!!!

I didnt say it was 15,000 to 20,000 I said to me it would be a fair price.

I really cant see it costing more the 10,000 but then I dont know enough about your DOT rules & regs to know the exact cost.

I got a check list for the DOT regs but there is no mention of airbags...

1) Remove and replace the speedometer (If not already KPH)
2) Install a warning light with the word "BRAKE" into the speedometer
3) Replace headlight assemblies with DOT certified lights
4) Install a high mounting, third brake light
5) Modify/Replace door locks with US certified door locks
6) Install a tire information label
7) Replace the passenger side mirror to reflect "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR"
8) Install a seat belt & key warning buzzer
9) Install door beams into the doors to comply with side impact protection regulations (FMVSS-214)
10) Install a rollover valve
11) Install engraved VIN (vehicle identification number) plate
12) Install VIN location label
13) Install a certification label
14) Remove and document bumpers
15) If necessary, modify and reinforce bumpers to comply with US federal bumper standards (FMVSS-581)
16) Determine if there are any outstanding recalls on this vehicle
17) Remedy all outstanding recalls

To do all of that wont cost much I'm sure, but some of these things are really stupid like number 7 I mean how many cars have mirrors that show an object its exact size???? if you dont know that you should be on the road for god sake.
& number 2 what the hell read the soddin car manual, I mean what are they going to do next get you to read a note with diagrams on how to put a key in the ignition & turn the engine on everytime you drive the car????

Yeah sad story about WRC but you have to admire the workmanship of the tur-bot one guy said it was such a pro job they could believe what they were seeing
