Importing cars from Japan

Hypothetically speaking, is it worth importing a car through the merchant below, even if it's RHD, to be used on the track. I know it can't be registered.

I've been drooling looking at the stock!

Ridiculously overpriced stock.

IMO not worth it...

if you want a track car.. go for a honda.. swap an engine and your good to go..

you can use it as a daily car as well.. " daily driven, weekend warrior"

plenty of cheap hatchbacks and b18c type r engine will make you smile already. and the aftermarket support are plenty as well...

But what about the stuff for USD 2000? I'm sure I saw some. They have tons of RB engined Skylines, but they're all RHD. Hell, some of them were autos!

Oh well. Thanks for the tips guys.

Why do you want a car for the track? Do you need it?
And if you do, why would you even consider an automatic?

Yeah, can't have an auto on the track. But the manual ones look nice yeah?

Not worth it and think of the hassle of towing it to and from the track.

Ozi, if you want a RHD JDM import, just pay a visit to Sharjah. There are quite a few shops that bring down cars.

I've heard of some place called Yallah

or Yalata

or something along those lines. Supposedly always have stock - much better prices too!

However, I'm with wek236. Honda is the way to go. You'll have fun building it and fun on the track....

Yalata is a workshop, I've been there, but not inside.

So I made everyone drool eh?

+1 Accord
All that and still stay street-legal.

But it can't be street legal because it's RHD, and I can't register it, right right right?

yep.. plus the fact the almost once a week you get offers from the streets wanting to buy your car even if its an old beated daily driven with almost faded paint and chip offs everywhere and covered with sandy dust of the emirates... nothing beats that feeling..

sell your eclipse buy a hatch and ill see you smiling when you hit vtec lol
