| I would sell it and buy a TT in the states. Motorex and one other company converts JSPECs to U.S... It a very involving process that requires alot paper work yet alone to mention the physical work that is involved. Quoted from j-garage.com "About the importing into the US :
As you may know, all the Japanese specifications vehicles (JDM car) are Right Hand Drive. Unfortunately, it is hard to import JDM cars into the US at present except the 25 years or older model. It is because you have to obtain the approval from the DOT and the EPA in order to import the JDM car and it needs to legalize a car when it will reach to the US port. Let me advise you that unless you wish to present crash test data for any Right Hand Drive car, it cannot legally be imported to the US. This is prohibitively expensive as a vehicle must be crashed to obtain the data, and we do not support the crash test data. Also the JDM car probably do not meet the US emission standard. And after 1996 models probably need to install the OBD2 system in order to pass the emission standard." For your information, here is a link of the US importing information.
