I work and live for extended periods of time in Mexico, so I have a Mexican FM3 Visa, which allows you to purchase and register cars in Mexico for personal use with Mexican tags. Cars with both Mexican and US tags can be driven on both sides of the border as long as they have insurance. I have no intention of circumventing the US customs, DOT, or EPA regulations and risking the same fate as the Skyline owners. Thanks for the well wishes.
One of the few legal methods for doing so. :cool:

Enjoy the car! :thumbup:

no idea on how many.
but the inline 5 engine is going to be dying with the MK2 FRS.

meaning no more 5 cyl.

moving back to a 2.0 turbo/ecoboost.

id rather have the I5 just for the tq factor.
 
I would like to know the status of the car while it is in the US and how long before it is discovered by the EPA and DOT, this is not ajoke. I wish you well with this car but be very careful what you let out on the internet about it.
I'll ask my friend who's had his Mexican registered Valiant in the Cali for over 20 years and daily drives it.
 
I rescind my previous statement and wish to state that I AM COMPLETELY ENVIOUS OF YOU! Dang, I should find a job that'll get me a visa! Way to go, but that thing has GOT to show up at some of the bigger US meets. Ever been to California? You should bring it out to Focus On The Beach and give us all rides in it!
 
I live in the chicago area and would love to see this thing in person one day if possible.. Extremely jelous by the way. You are very lucky.

p.s. Welcome to the jet.
 
well next time im in chi-town you BETTER be available or BAN !

Ha ha, I'll keep an eye out for other Focus hoons!
 
I cant see the EPA driving around for 1 Ford RS and I cant see any Cops pulling him over to see if its legal unless it was considered stolen unless you are in CA or something. Most cops in the states do not care about things like that. Him driving this thing around is better than someone with no exhaust or cat deletes and we all know people around here do that all the time.
Sounds like he has his bases covered regardless.

Is the valiant getting blasted all over the internet for the past 20 years?
 
amazing, willing to say what US$ MSRP was on it? Only thing i could see being a bother is servicing/repair..true or no?
 
Welcome to FJ! You are certainly a welcome addition here. :thumbup:

and is it me for MK1 RS> MK2 RS (aesthetically)

or maybe im bias haha
Having seen and sat in both cars, the interior of the Mk2 is worlds beyond the Mk1 FRS. Pictures of the Mk2's exterior don't do it any justice either; I didn't like it myself until I saw it in person. The only thing I'd still change is that rear spoiler.

That 2010 RS is so humpable! Great buy and I absolutely love the car.
