  1. japan-partner.com is one. i havent bought anything from them so i dont no all it takes. heres something off there site about performance cars.

     

     

    Importing used JDM High Performance Vehicles (and other used vehicles) into the USA is difficult, but not impossible.

    Any vehicles being imported to the USA needs to have been certified to comply with US safety and environmental standards, i.e. they need to have a DOT and an EPA mark.

    Unfortunately almost all vehicles sold outside the USA do not have such marks.

    They can however nevertheless be imported with the help of a Registered Importer, who can bring them into compliance with US regulations.

    You can find a comprehensive list of Registered Importers following this web address: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/web_complete_RI_list5108.pdf

    Going through an RI can be very expensive though.

    A cheaper alternative may be to dismantle the vehicle you want and ship it by container to the US.

    This is not an infringement of US laws as long as the vehicle will not be reassembled in the US. Most JDAM high performance cars in the US have been brought into the country this way.

    Furthermore, there are two categories of vehicles that can be imported to the US relatively easily:

    Mini Trucks (http://www.japan-partner.com/kei-truck.html) and RHD Jeep Cherokees.
