I guess if you have the money yes its possible

try looking on the www for car importers in your area

As the USA have strict import rules your are not going to get the car at its full bhp ie 280
emmision rules will lower the bhp plus VR4's need 98 octane
and a service every 4500 miles

I know a vr4 was for sale on ebay a few weeks ago the guy was over your side of the pond too

the car had no title plus its ended now
but you may want to contact him

i know it is rhd is allowed because there is a rhd skyline by where i live. if anyone knows of any other for sale please let me know. octain isnt a big deal. i have a mitsu eclipse with aftermarket parts running 11.6 @ 116 in the quarter. it also needs high octain. how is avail for parts for the galant over there? any known major problems with them? thanks again!

also since it might be alot of work to get the car, how about the drive train? any motors, trans, intercoolers, ecu, harness, rear ends? and i have a 99 galant es INSERT INTO post VALUES (us version) they only offer them in automatic. do you guys have the same in 5- speed? how much horsepower out of the 2.4 4g64? any turbo models for those? i just found out about the vr4 model recently, i thought they were only in 91, 92. thanks again:)
