Default right hand drive EK impounded! help!

I speed because I was late for work around 6:50am on the school zone 25mph doing 55mph when an officer got me on radar gun. he ask me where is my vin number on my dash board i show him my door jam there's a sticker on it that match with my registation. so he call the detective, 15 min later he came then shearch my car. the fire wall doesnt match my registration because it's in japanese vin number. he hand cuff me took me to the downtown SPD (san diego prolice department).

to make the story short:

during the hearin in the court, they say this car is unknown there's no proof that it's the actural car because u can always replace doors, bumpers, etc. but firewall is what u cant replace because the vin number on it is branded.

you probably wonder why i dont show them my old firewall; is because i dont have it. yes i know that's a stupid thing to do but u know **** happens

my question:

is there's another vin number on the body?
is there's a way to find out that the car is the actural car? eventho the firewall is cut to convert to a rhd.

if u can answer my question ill be happy because i dont want them to crush my car!! spents soo much money on it!! GRR ..

thanks in avance

They should know that there are hidden VINS on the car. Tell them to look at those.. They know where they are.. and this is why you should keep records and pics of the work done..

This totally completed my life, I can die happy.

Sucks man. Sorry to hear. @ Cops for doing their job.

EDIT:
Seriously though, didn't you contact the CA DMV and ask 'em about this before you did the RHD conversion? I would have. No, these pple just do it, then this **** happens, and they're all like "wtf."

What you're basically saying is "I removed the VIN #'s from the car and now they're claiming they don't know if its my car."

Big surprise.

I'm sure it sounds like I'm an ******* - so if it does, GOOD.

And your lawyer's a ******* *******. His claim is that the cops were being racist...because they arrested you for driving a car w/o any ******* VIN #'s, yes, that's racist, where's Al Sharpton when you need him!??

55 in a school zone... in my opinion, you deserve everything that's coming to you...

But in the interest of being constructive:

I've heard that California laws are pretty tough to beat on some of these modification things. If you want to save your car, you might want to find a lawyer.

There's a difference between "not seeing any kids" and it not being during school hours. Which was it?

I love how ur lawyer's taking the racist approach, that just cracks me up.

"I removed all my VIN #'s ('cept the engine) and they're saying my car could be stolen, ******* biget racist bitches!!"

This isn't even part of my rant about how much I hate JDM ****, this is simply a prime example of what happens when people don't do their research. I can't believe with all the ricers in CA tryin to do a RHD conversion nobody figured to check w/ the DMV to see what they could do about the legality of it. Of course not, why would they? If a cop comes up you could always outrun 'em, right? F&F FTW!!!

You're speeding either way. You're driving a modded car in California where you know there are all these laws and you know that if you get stopped a cop might want to inspect your car and you know that that might be bad.

But you're late for work.

And if it's a school zone, almost 7 in the morning, the fact that you don't see any kids doesn't make it safe to blow through there at 55 mph.

again. Please say something remotely intelligent soon, I feel hypertension setting in.

And you were still late for work, plus you were put in handcuffs and your car is about to be made into a Mountian Dew can. Way to use your head.
