How pray tell?

Becuase I'm pretty sure driving a car around with a motor that was never emmisions tested in the united states is illegal...

Then theres the fact that the cars that Motorex "legalized" are still infact illegal.

so its kinda like vin swapping but w/ liscence plate and title swapping as well?

interesting..

[Skylindrftr]

how can the registration possibly be valid lol?

[Skylindrftr]

What i mean is how is it valid b/c it is a jdm car and doesnt it have to be looked at by dot and whatever else?

[R.W.240]

Whatever, thats a technicallity that seems easy enough to spot... and when it does get spotted the car is going to the crusher.


State laws are easy enough to weasel around... Ignoring federal laws is pretty serious business.

jdm cars dont have us vins...

[nissan_240sx]
