[SuperSupra86]

When i made that post i yeah i only knew through 2000 but now i know through 02....AND UK Supras don't that 318 ft lbs of Torque....HP is for Bragging, Torque gets you do the track

there's a right handed supra up for sale right now on ebay. It was a Texas plate on it. I wonder how he did it?

and its great ..
and its easy to turn it to left hand without any problems or changing any thing in the engin

Sorry to bring this back from the dead (especially as I'm a new member... hello everyone), but I've been looking into this for a bit now. Does anyone actually KNOW anyone who has imported a Supra? I have many reasons for wanting to import (some of which include that they are about half the price, they are RHD, and they usually have much lower milage). I am also in a unique position in that I can actually GO TO THE CAR and check it out before actually laying money down. So far I've found Japan-Partner to be a good place to shop, though I'm still like 4 hours from Nagoya. I need someone with experience in legalizing an import to tell me how much of a hassle it would be and how much it would cost.

I am just sending this out to any1 and every1 to see if anyone had seen or has or heard of someone who OWNS or SHOWED a Toyota Supra Right Hand Drive before. I have been trying to deal directly with some companies in Japan, but without an RI I am screwed. I have found some that run about 10k to purchase, plus import fees.

They are cheaper but by the time it is made legal it will be more... Just by a usdm.

see, I'm not so sure, or at least that's what I'm trying to find out form someone who's actaully done it. I mean for example... there is a 95 supra SZ for about $6k with about 90k miles.
Now, as far as shipping is concerned, I've heard anywhere from 1500 to 2500 so I'll just say 2000. Ok so now we are at $8k, but that still gives me at least 5 thousand dollars to play with as far as making it legal before it's the same price as usdm.
Like I said, I don't actually know how much it costs, and if it's over five thousand dollars, I probably will just buy usdm, but until I find out, this looks like a much better deal.
