I just moved back to the US after living in Japan for 4 year. While there I got me a TME RS and after a lot of work and being denied a show and display exemption I was able to get approved for a perminant race exclusion so I was able to get my car back to the US through customs with no issue and duty free being military. It is not street legal though. This was no easy feat and Mitsu US only seemed willing only because it was the TME RS specifically. The rarest factory evo from Mitsubishi(not a tuner ie. ralliart FQ's, zerofighters, monte carlo) and there was a press release for the RS being built for entry into motorsports and FIA homolagation papers on ralliart's website. It still tookn 6 month of calls and emails after a rep agreed before I got the letter. Then came the EPA portion. But I got all the paper work needed and just this week I picked my car up in Long Beach. Here it is on US soil. The other one is my wifes, as you can see we lack imagination 
and that is the 4th evo we've owned.

It was about $1500 to ship Roro
I plan to make it track only and have started taking it that route. I don't have any new pics yet but here are some old one for now.
I would give my 1st born child for a red TME. Watch out for people following you home, even on a trailer. My friend had a r32 gtr here in the states, had a few people try to follow him home yikes.
Are you planning to keep it stock? I guess if you don't ever plan to sell it you can go crazy with mods though lol.
Also because it's not street legal, does this mean you pretty much have to have it trailered every time you take it out somewhere?
Finally how does insurance work on a car like this?
Congrats though, she's a beaut.
