aye a '93reg it survived in Japan for years, and just made it over a year (by about a month or so) in this country before it got made a good few inches shorter... (though most of that is bodykit) 
tbh it'd probably be cheaper to get a higher speced import than trying to make a sileighty over here... 
lol...fordy i'll see what he's planning and get back to you (its virtually standard engine wise -- just induction system.) or checkup on japnortheast / sxoc...as most parts will probs be being made available through those sites if/when he strips it.
