Here's your answer....it's not worth it.

1. Taka is a foriegn national (Exchange student) which is why they allowed him 1 car for 1 year.

2. To qualify for a race/show vehicle is extremely hard. I have heard of Ferrari's being rejected

3. RHD is NO LONGER considered comparable to LHD.

4. Emissions testing is $$$. Wallace LAbs is the most popular. It will cost you several thousand, and when it fails, your back at square 1.

5. The car must be imported through an RI. Most RI's WILL NOT let you supply conversion parts and they cost money.

6. Between petition, importation, and quarentine times, it can take up to 2 years to import a car, IF YOUR PETITION IS ACCEPTED. Current Petitions are averaging 9-12 months for decision.

SO....Sell it, and forget it.
