my frind was racing and cops got them and wwere cheking if they got the original engines. i was just wondering if i have a swap in my car can they bust me for having a stolen engine?

 

well........is it a stolen engine

 

they probably crshed it or impounded it for the fact he was racing,, ontario which was the birthplace of the scene now has either or,


if your car has either stolen parts or was involved directley in a street drag race it WILL be crushed

as it should be

 

Unless of course it's a legal track race or something to that extent.

 

Was he in Chicago? Cops were probably just curious what he was running ;-)

 

Ive never heard of them checking the engines down here in Georgia. Do they only check it out if your caught street racing?

 

they started checking engines here in philadelphia, pa also if you get caught streetracing, and yes, if you car has a stolen engine they will arrest you and impound your car, but im not too sure what they say or do if its just a swap thats legit..

 

if you are racing with stolen engines then you are retarded.

1)don't steal other ppls motor
2)don't be street racing, take it to the race tracks

haha...forealz...i've helped build a ej1/gsr and when it got stolen my heart dropped.

 

Man.... a friend bought a EG with a full obd1 gsr (obd1 gsr's between 94-95 had no vin plate) and the dude swore everything was legit. We got another friend with a dealer's license to run the numbers that are stamped under the engine code and it came up stolen. There is no way for you to tell if the motor is stolen unless u go down to CHP and have them run it which is bad cuz most swaps are already illegal anyways and if it comes up stolen you go to jail... If the popo's are goin to be so strict on stolen motors they should have an easier way for you to check the status of the motor.

 

No Guys i didnt steal any motors got dam it. im just 17 and u think i would steal a car??

i just have a swap on my civic and my friend said cops were checking for stolen engines when he went street racing. and sine i don't the the original engine could they say it is stolen. thats what i was asking. and i Agree expletive thieves because i got my **** stolen too

Ha, yeah, this is what I figured. Good chuckle watching everybody get bent out of shape like that .

In short, can they say it's stolen? No.

The car that it's in has to be reported stolen. So if somebody reports a white GSR license plate XXXXXXX - they look up that license plate, and the VIN is recorded in their database. So if they pop your hood at look at your engine, say it's a GSR, they can type the VIN into their computer and it'll either come up with no warrants, or stolen. Now if it comes up as stolen you have a bit of a problem, but if it doesn't then you really don't have a problem - unless of course it's JDM which don't have VIN's which always makes me crack up when the cops bust down on some idiot b/c there's no vin on his engine b/c he's "JDM y0."

Basically, in case that engine really is stolen, no, they can't, they'd check the VIN first, and the VIN would always be connected to the VIN of the chassis (whether by originality, swap marriage (when they marry VINs of engine to chassis after you swap), or whatever) which would be reported stolen say...99% of the time?

As for your street racing...well that's a different ball game, story for a different day.

EDIT:
PS: It always helps if you have the receipt for th engine, too, of course.

 

here in socal. cops will pull u over just to pop ur hood.! sucks alot!!

 

luckily i bought my swapped civic with a bar'd engine

 

As long as the motor is legit (always be sure to get proof when you buy a motor), the motor is the same year or newer than the car its going into, and your inspected/smogged/bar'd depending on your area you should be legit. I understand there are a few more variables to this but this is just a basic guideline.

 

i live in md close to DC and we have a big population of MS13 car thieving bastards and i've had two cars stolen by those bastads one was a del-sol and the other was my DC2-R(championship white)

 

hey do they still race off island ave and 64th st in south philly?

 

basially here in cali, so cal to be exact, they will say anything to impound your car and arrest you, **** ive had my car impounded for an illegal swap and no vins and im running stock motor, tdo4h and a dual mount v8 nitrous kit, inshort socal police are corrupt and your fucked if you get pulled over at all in a honda/acura
