Bluebear Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Welcome! How hard was it to get it legal in the US? They're quite tough on imports aren't they? Or does it vary state by state? GT looks mega clean, enjoy her! It'd be interesting to see how well it's received by the 'import/JDM' community over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be interesting to see how well it's received by the 'import/JDM' community over there. The car is registered and insured in NY state. If you don't mind I'd rather not get into the details online, but it is not an easy process. Since very few JDM RHD cars make it stateside, people aren't really familiar with the Starlet. Skylines, 240sx`s and various Hondas prove more popular. The EP82 was never sold here so people don't know what the car is, which IMO makes the car all the more enjoyable. Thanks again for everyone's kind words!Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could very well imagine the amount of red-tape you would have to fight your way through, I've read some absolute horror stories on the internet with regards to the US and trying to register imports legitimately.Would be cool to see pics of the Starlet at local meets and such!

Rebel Motorsports Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Looking good. What would be the most affordable way to import light weight starlet items (map sensors, headlamps) from UK to say America? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll get raped just like we do when it comes to ordering parts lol. FEDEX, UPS, DHL all to reasonable shipping. The main issue is the customs declaration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some base it on weight alone. Others will base it on dimensions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
