Re:USA car question.
 

i know a canadian that was down her for over 2 years he just kept it registered for up there. dunno what it takes to get it legal here but while your at it bring me a Acura EL, did they make those in hatchbacks too?

Re:USA car question.
 

haha, thanks mike for the humor. but seriously, does anyone have some info on what needs to be done for a safety, like suspension, exhaust, windsheild, turn signals etc ?

Re:USA car question.
 

guess good thing he kept it registered up there since his wife divorced him and he had to go back

Re:USA car question.
 

I'll give you what I know.. safety, headlights must work, turn signals, horn, brake lights and reverse lights.

Exhaust, I'm pretty sure everyhwere requires a muffler. Not sure of any place that doesn't, some places have different emission laws.

Turn signals cant be ricer colors (blue, red, green, etc.). Has to be stock colors.

You better hope Oklahoma doesnt have emissions.. if that car was originally from Canada (which I'm assuming it was), it might not have all the emissions BS you need down here.

Suspension has to be good, no blown struts or bushings or whatnot..

Windshield, no cracks.. I know locally anyways, it has to be a 12" by 12" view above or below the crack for the driver or its not legal. You can have the passenger side window ------ smashed up and it will be still legal (dont ask lol).

That's all I can think of for now, hope that helped you out..

Re:USA car question.
 

thanks, that helped me lots.

Yeah, man you know... I had the same problem once when I had to bring my gay ass piece of ---- R33 Skyline over to america from japan. Smog bullshit, especially with california. God I wish I could just get rid of my stupid R33 skyline. Anyone want my R33 skyline guys? I'm just gonna throw it away anyway. I'll give it away for free, final offer... a skyline.







You guys believed me right? ;)

Re:USA car question.
 

wow, you're moving to oklahoma, I thought you were just on vacation. I know some girl up there so if she agrees to let me hit it if I drive up there I'll stop by and meet you while I'm in the area.

Re:USA car question.
 

LOL, jokes ;)

Re:USA car question.
 

I don't think you will really have a problem. One a lot of the US spec hondas are from canada. The main things that I would recommend you get are
-Pink slip/title of car
-you will also want to have a letter from the manufactuer that the car is in compliance to the US safety regulations.
-if smog is applicable in your state that is a given.
-You might be hassled about a km/h speedometer.

If I come up with anything else I'll post up, but i would highly recommend you get the first two. Speedometer is an easy fix.

Re:USA car question.
 

my civic was made in canada and it's left hand drive and has mph speedo.

Re:USA car question.
 

that's because yours was made for the US market.
