Default Can I import a Sti from Japan to use for parts?

Thinking of importing a late model Sti to use for parts, engine, 6 speed box, running gear, suspension, brembos, interior etc?

Is it a simple process or is it a minefield?

You definitely can bring one in as a half cut. I did that exact thing with an 05 sti halfcut that i sourced through JWS in Wangara.
