Hello,
I have heard that for some reason you guys in the States are not allowed the GT-Four in it's standard form, is this correct? I heard that a lot of engines get shipped out for you to put into "normal" celica's. Does anyone know the reason you aren't allowed them? is it down to emissions? Thanks Nathan -------------------- 1994 JDM ST205 WRC with 17" OZ Chrono's wearing 215/45/17 Eagle F1's. HKS Induction Kit, Blitz DV, Decat and full SS System, Blitz SBC-iD and Power Meter running at 1.12Bar = 17mpg and a lot of fun

You would need to have the engine removed and shipped seperately from the body, that way you can register the body and engine as "Parts". Once it is over here you can just reinstall and register as a Kit Car, but I think you still have to pass emissions. 96 gt4 in good condition(less than 90k miles) from japan 7200USD Shipping to a US port 1800USD to start Customs 250-1000USD Vehicle modifications* 5000-15000USD 210hp awd beast on US roads priceless *numerous frame and body reinforcements necessary to make DOT legal, not to mention emmisions considering the 3rd gen 3sgte doesn't even have an egr valve(a necessity where i live) So I recommend just importing an engine direct. |
