General to export or not to export

[richydraper]

Sorry to say No fiat is importable to the USA. There is no crash test data and no emissions systems that cross to these vehicles.

Conclusion:- NOT TO EXPORT!!!!

the quesion is... after getting over there, finding one, getting the bits together to make it a sporting (or a 1242) is it gonna be more hassle than just exporting my RHD sporting...

if its too expensive then ill sell her then find one over there but for the moment im e mailing an importer who can hopefully give me mor of an idea about the process and whats involved with actually getting it over to florida might get lucky with emissions i might just find that all i have to do is put a charcoal filter in and ship it over but thats wishful thinking i fear

You should have a charcoal filter already unless you removed it.

The MPI's may meet OBD2...

But if you are going over there you will have to learn to drive a US auto and they are bad.

Our US visitors always ask for a stick (shift) gear stick... even the girls...

OBD2 was a USA only std.
Alfa/Fiat/Lancia stopped selling in the USA before it's introduction, so there are no OBD2 Alfa/Fiat/Lancia.
Post 2000 Alfa/Fiat/Lancia will be EOBD, not OBD2.
