GT-4 Import to US Options

[cardshark525]

I searched the site for a while and didn't find a topic about it so... if I was interested in importing a GT-4 to the United States as opposed to simply swapping a 3sgte engine into a GT or ST what would I need to do (besides obviously buy the car and bring it here). I am aware of the cost to bring something like that overseas however I have a few questions.
#1 Would the car be street legal?
-With the car being right hand drive and probably from the UK would it be road legal?
#2 If not what would I need to do to make it road legal?
-Simple as emissions checks or complete conversion to LHD?

Obviously the money isn't there right now, however just a thought for the future...

anything improbable is always possible. We all talk about how impossible it is to import a gt4 to united states. Yes and no. No because probability of you successfully doing it is very very very low due to us customs. Yes because there are car import agencies who, for the right price will import it for you. Dont ask me how because I dont know. All I do know is that for the price of using such agency you can probably buy yourself 3 celicas and swap 3sgtes into each with lots of money to spend on body work etc. Last time I checked price for such imported beauty was something like 25K.
