Lol that's pretty awesome. Personally, I wouldn't do it. Seems like to much of a hassle and risk to take a japanese car and try to get it legal over here. I heard that it needs to be at least 25 years old or go through a bunch of crash tests and what not to get it DOT approved. Then again I could be wrong but you should do some major reading before you trade.
