Default Honda RSX Type R

How much do you think it would cost to import one? And how much time do you think it would take?

Probably too much to be worth it. All the paper work cost alot. Considering the Skyline is under $50k over @ Japan and for a used R34 from Motorex, it's about $90k, so I'm guessing way too much. That's why we don't have cars like Sylvia, STi and EVO imported over here. It'll probably cost you around $50k including the car to get it over here.

It will cost you an additional 10-20k to get it approved with DOT, and through customs. But theres always the illegal ways to, hehe. I have heard of a few companies that are trying to get CTR's in america http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872276817 that may help you with your search, its through a company called Evolution Imports LLC.

Um... yes we get Silvias...
Its called 200SX, 240SX, 300ZX, etc.
Those are Silvias...
It's like the DC5 Integra Type R and RSX in North America.
Yes we get the Evo but it's the crummy under 160hp Evos...

No we dont get EVO's. Mistubishi Motors of America only sells the the Lancer. Not Lancer Evolution.

We also do not get the new Silvias. (S15 model).

Uhhh yeah, and the G35 is the Skyline GT-R

240SX and 300ZX aren't anywhere close to being the same car, let alone a Silvia :slap:

Hehe, I guess I don't need to defend myself cuz everybody else are doing a good job showing you're wring. But 200SX is based on a SENTRA not a Sylvia. 300ZX is a Z car, not a Sylvia. The 240SX is close to what a sylvia is but we don't get 2.0L Turbo version that output 200+HP depending on the generation. 240SX is a poor attemp at bringing the Sylvia over. It's like calling a Integ LS an ITR.
