The thing is that a newer FD(96+) would end up getting modified anyways, so why spend the extra cash on it? I'll be modding so much that it won't be worth it to buy a 2000 if I pulled the engine out anyways...

Im in the uk, and just to make you jellous you can get a company to import it, do all the paper work and M.O.T it etc for £950 and you make that money back through the money saved by importing.

Jsperacer7 & J9fd3s after reading alittle bit on the website posted by J9fd3s you would have a good chance of getting good info from one of the RI companies listed there. My sugestion to you guys is to call one of them and ask the proper questions. As for importing a Jspec car I here it really isn't that hard. If you get one of these companies to do it for you you get it done right for a good price. We just had a guy come to Dyess AFB(Abilene TX) and he imported his 96 skyline. Sweet car. He went through Motorex. The car cost 7200(used) with 42k miles on it and the shipped/made DOT compliant for about $16,500 usd. Jspecracer7 either Bank of America or USAA will give you a loan to do this b/c they have realized the values of these cars. As for you J9fd3s you may want to think about getting one from England. It will cost you less and it will still be a J-spec RX7.
