^^ you still in Japan? maybe you can help me get 5 spd cpnversion parts like a bell housing and driveshaft.
As for your car I don't think you can bring it over and have it legalized in California anyway. there are other ways around it in Arizona or Florida, whre you going to be moving to? State? I'm still looking into it, You can bring it here which isn't that hard but getting it legal to drive on the road is a different story. luckly before I even bought the car I started my own company, nothing big just internet stuff but since I fully licenced I'm claiming it as a show car. still not done yet though so I'll still have to see if it works. if you need any help PM me i'll give all the limited information that I have

I will be moving to Oregon. As of right now if I dont have it shipped back I will be taking the few parts that I want off of it( Read: lights, springs/struts, gauge cluster, intake, rims, stereo, etc..) & then I will send that thing straight to the junkyard.

Yeah I kinda realized that awhile back but I have kinda become attached to my car.

Yeah we all do lol. But adding up how much it would be just to get the car and and let alone getting it streetable is going to be like 3x more then just picking up a clean one here.

I know. Problem is all the turbo MK3's I've found in and around the Portland area have like at least 150K miles on them, aren't that nice and the jackoff owners still want 6K USD or more for them. I've heard estimates of around 10K or so to get my car US road legal and it has only 128K kilomters on it.
