importing a crx sir
I was wondering if any of you have any experiance with importing a car from overseas because i checked with my local dmv and their is no problem of having a JDM car if i can make it pass colorado standards. I only have to get the vin verified with the state and then, according to the dmv, be able to drive it on the streets. So, I need help on importing a non complant vehical through customs because I have had no previous experiance with customs and so forth. Once I get the car into colorado there should be no problems.

Naw, I dont believe that this is exactly correct for pre-existing chasis models (like a CRX or Integra), I have seen a few imported, though I have no details, I just know that its been done w/o a crash test.
Check in on Honda-tech forum, I have seen this thread and I think someone there knows about this

yeah, thats why it costs so much for skylines to get imported. there is no usdm model like them, so you have buy a few, and wreck them. crx's should be ok, since in 91 air bags werent a US DOT standard. but there is still a lot of other ---- to consider... look herehttp://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/

Re:importing a crx sir
the frames arn't the same as any other usdm crx.
you will have to wreck a couple...
what you do is import it to canada... as freight not as a real car, you buy a car for a parts car, that will be torn apart yet still has a good non-salvage vin, and you swap the vins... simple.
