I've been looking into buying another RHD car. I have owned a Nissan 180SX and a Nissan Gloria, but it seems all the shops that I used to do business with have gotten shut down frown.gif Does anyone know of any shops in the USA that still sell full uncut chassis? If not I'll probably just order a Curren ZS front clip and convert it to RHD, but I'd much rather have the real deal. I built a LHD "Curren clone" a couple years ago and miss it to death, so I'd like a real one this time. Any info would help

Importing a Curren should be legal. It's basically the same as either an AT200 or ST204 as far as the crash bar and everything goes. I believe that is the biggest problem with bringing the ST205 here, since there are no US crash test ratings. Essentially, with the ST206 Curren, you are bringing a car here that Toyota already brought here. I should think it's just a matter of finding a company to do the paperwork. I second NJCCMD's suggestion of talking to RPMGarage and finding a Curren half-cut. I know it isn't quite the same as getting a real Curren, but it will be much easier to get it here.
