DC294GSR, thanks a ton bro. Those are some hefty links with some damn good information. I _will_ make this happen!! Someone else has already, importing the car chassis/etc. separately from the engine as freight. Pretty smart...

kabob, do you know any of the specifics about the safety/bumper standards which this car doesn't meet? I figured since the chassis is basically (if not 100%) the same as the RSX here in the US, that the underlying safety "cage" and supports and crash-zones would be the same as well. Am I off here?

Also, anyone know about the differences in glass? Is it different in Japan (i.e. not safety glass)?
