wuts up my friend found a ChampionshipWhite right hand drive Genuine Civic Type R in California and he wants to have it shipped 2 New York...Are they allowed here ??? if anyone has info please tell me thanks...

 

For a daily driver or a "track only" car?

Daily = hear it can be hard to register in any state
Track = not so hard - just buy a trailer to haul it on.

 

 

na he wants 2 use it as daily

 

 

how would he be able 2 do it ?

 

The new Civic's Type R motor is found in the RSX-S all you need is a donor. Not that this helps you.

 

check with mva

 

in california you go through a long *** process to register the damn car. price ranging from 3 - 5 grand. sucks

 

NunRacer na not the new Type R's....hes gettin a 1998 Civic Type R CW heres a pic of a Stock CTR but its not in white

 

I think he only has to make it pass emissions...

 

i knew it would be alot of work.... im just gunna convince him 2 buy a CX and get it painted white...and just make a spoon look alike hatch....dat was his goal if he got the CW Civic Type R

 

FYI, King Motorsports has 3 B16B crate motors for sale.

 

ur friend needs to contact the department of motor vehicles and his insurance company and customs and whatever else. i think you can get a 1 year temporary registration for the car, then you have to ship it out of the country, then ship it back in and get a new temporary 1 year registration. this guy had a lotus elise and thats how he kept it in the country, every year he shipped it to the bahamas and stayed there with it for a week, then shipped it back to florida and got a new 1 year temporary registration. this other guy had a complete RHD 98 ITR and he had it insured and registered, but im not sure how he did it. he really didnt want to get into cuz it was kinda lengthy and complicated, but it was legal. he took me for a ride in it.

 

Nope hes got it to make it pass all the saftey regulations as well, meaning Steel beams where the us spec civics have them, the glass has to be DOT approved. As well as the KMH has to be changed back to mph lots of **** needs to be changed. Its not easy but it can be done.

Arin

 

WARNING

my integra had to sit in line at customs for over 3 hours.........civic type r's are smaller so you might not be able to push your way in........perhaps you could use a raft and smuggle it in??

 

That car will get stolen SO fast in NYC...

 

Gone in 6 seconds

 

are you going to tell him to put the Type R stickers on too?

 

Would you guys consider it ricey if someone put CTR stickers on a CX that's basically converted to CTR with all the parts? Well, majority of them?

 

there is that company selling them registered for 25g's have someone post up the link i dont know what it is, but you can buy a 100% legal one from them with 0 miles brand new
