im looking to buy i real eg6. the guy has the japanese title and the american title. but its not legitly registered. how do i get it registered. or is it even possible anymore because ive heard from people that you cant get it done anymore that you have to have it vin swapped? any info would be helpful

 

theres like 4 threads about it search

 

There was a thread just a little while ago. You can also search the Type R forums for gray market vehicle.

 

X2..if its not already u.s. registered its not gonna happen

 

And vin swaping is a phelony

Wait. So something is only a felony if you get caught?

BRB, going to go kill babies.

Oh, and genius, you posted your RI license plate number and your phone number on here.

 

ROTFL! I hadn't even noticed that. I can't believe this thread hasn't been locked yet.

haha well thanks for the help guys. and i found one i was going to buy and the guy say its vin swapped already. so i dont really want it anymore. i was looking into gettin one imported but i heard you wont be able to get it registered.? and why is this thats stupid if you cant get them registered.

 

Though I might wish some cars from overseas were legal to import and register here, if they haven't passed safety here or the engines aren't legal here or the lighting isn't DOT approved then I see where the government is at least coming from.

At least you can easily replicate an EG6 here using a USDM Civic hatch and an engine swap. The car I'd really want was just plain never available here.

 

thank you very much

 

well i have a eg hatch that was converted to rhd but i was looking into getting a real one but not so sure anymore after reading the link you send me lol. i guess ill just wait till there classic cars. wont be to much longer

 

It is now.
