“Ok, so import them for "race use" only...”

Did you not read my last post? The EPA told me that you can NOT import ANY motor into the US unless it has a certification.

im sure jdm and a usdm supra have the same EPa requirements met. Along with silvias/240's civics/integras rx7's.... there seem to be a loophole in this new rule.
