Saying goodbye to Japan after 22 1/2 years exactly. Returning to the US. Working on converting her over to import to the US. Will post a complete list of the conversion process once complete. Finally got some professional shots of my car last month for some extra bonus material

Sorry man, I don't have any spare parts but mostly the changes are mostly emissions related i.e. Primary Cats, additional O2 Sensors, AirPump, Child Seat assy, ODBII connector, Charcoal Filter, and some stupid things like the part numbers on the seat belts & Gas Tank have to be a US part number. I'll build a complete list once I'm done.


National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [Docket No. NHTSA–2002–12048]

The other options do not legally allow you to use it as your daily driver

99CLK320,
It's a show car right? And, you are going to have to get another car to drive in the winter anyway. You will certainly kill yourself trying to drive it in the snow. Whose gonna know once you get it over here?

This is my daily driver not necessarily a show car, I just enter it into shows. Not sure how much snow Fallon, NV gets. Probably nothing like Chicago/Gary area so I'll be fine. I'd rather import it properly because more than likely I'll be needing to export it to another country in a few years when I decide which country I want to work in next or come back to Japan.

Update. I'm leaning towards pushing 11.5 now in the rear with a 305.

Found that they can fit seen here.
