Importation is actually pretty easy if you import as a race car, just a couple short forms. It's the shipping that kills the deal. So if you know someone with an empty container in Japan...

Actually, I kinda do. But I'm moving and I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.Originally Posted by Joe_Black
I did research some old vmag posts about a similar subject, so most of my questions have been answered. I know the Tonbo VXs have a dual shock set-up on them, but have not seen any pictures -very interesting eh Joe Black? (btw, thanks for your excellent tranny service writeup, I put it to use yesterday).
The hood is FRP, from Tonbo House, and I'm sure that there's a bunch of them just laying around in some warehouse.
Still dunno about the transmission/transfer case though.
Right hand drive, gobs of power, excellent suspension & handling...talk about the ultimate "going postal" vehicle, Cliffy would love this.
Halo serge,
Kan er nog iets aan de prijs gedaan worden?
(for all you native americans :this is dutch for getting the price down)
VX : CLOSEST THING TO A CONCEPT CAR!
Shipping shouldn't cost more than a few thousand dollars. Would be cheaper to ship that in than to build up a rally VX from scratch!

I'd like to get that roll cage! Not that I plan on spending any time on the lid but its nice insurance just in case.
At that exchange rate and shipping that would be a race ready VX for under 10 grand. Sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm sure if you talked to them they have conections and could probably get you an even better deal on the shipping as a "package deal".

first off, I worn anyone that you will need a roll cage if you ever do roll in the VX(even a soft roll such as mine was). The VX could not take a hard roll and you would be the egg or eggs if you had passengers.
second, that hood on this Rally VX looks just like the stock hood just with the hood insert removed. If anyone wanted to see for yourselves, just remove your hood insert(really easy with like a 10 or 12 mm wrench, I belive).
After being in the MArines for 8 years and living in Mainland Japan, Okinawa, Thailand, Australia, and Kuwait and having many MArines shipping cars...I know it would be way easier to ship (import/Export) this Rally VX as a race car verses as a POV in which many requirements such as more reinforcement is required in the frame and structure, proper lighting, and a R/L conversion..etc....
