Hi,
Just accidentally bumped on here for nostalgia and saw your message. Better to check out the Facebook group as I believe that one's got a lot of old members from here on there and also is more active
About the US importing rules, I was planning on bringing my RS to the states for my internship and I read that you can drive a non-us registered car for as long as 1 year before having to register it. I almost had everything sorted out before someone hit my car and I couldn't fix the bumper in...
Looks cool although I've heard the upcoming RS will ditch the 2.0 and the manual gearbox and go for a 1.6 with an automatic like the current clio rs :/
