As the topic says, I have been trying for the past 3 1/2 months to register my JDM 4 dr. ITR in the state of Georgia through a possible loophole (don't want to mess with DOT and EPA if I can avoid it (yeah I know it's the legal way)). Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas and/or suggestions or if any of you know someone who has registered one before some way other than this. I know there was a guy on here from FL that said his friend was able to "sneak" one by. Otherwise I will have to sell it.

Thanks guys !

 

Just put your local acura plates on it.. when this guy in my town got a dc5-r he did that and drove it around a bit before selling it for almost double what he paid.

what's up richard...this is brett...did know you were on the board...good luck with getting that thing registered

 

What's the loophole?
Put a rollcage it and tell them it's a "race car" or for show only.
That's both legal and easier than a "loophole".

 

Yeah Brett, I've been here for years lol. I started the ITRCA-SE a few years back, but it died off cause I never had time to handle it and plus I sold my yellow R. I still own the domain though. Nice to see you found the best board for asking questions about your R and just bullshitting around . Anyway about the loophole, I haven't found it yet, but as I said there's a guy in FL that registered his DC2 without DOT clearance. And I don't think that race cars from Japan are street legal. Elaborate on your point because I don't understand how throwing a rollcage in would help my situation.

Let me know how much

 

I think if I decide to sell it, I will probably ask $16K. Brett has seen the car in person b/c he was interested in buying it and can vouch for me. Here are a few pics.

doesn't the gov't forbid monopolies??

 

nice ride

i got my sir-g reg by appling for a rebuild title.

i got the seller to write up reciepts for all the major parts for the car.

i was able to get a state issued vin by telling them that i imported the chassis and didnt have a us vin. state police came and got all the serial numbers to see if anything was stolen then wrote a letter to the dmv. which allowed me to get the ky vin.

after i got that i was just as i was going to the rebuild process.

or do whats called a vin swap (real illegal)

 

 

when i went to GA for nopi there was a guy there with a rhd ctr and from my understanding it was fully registered.....might wanna get on vtecatl(sure you already know of it) and see if you can get in touch with that guy

 

I remember that car.. people said it wasn't a REAL ctr but a conversion..

does anyone have a real ctr? (ek9)

hibbs havent been to nashville yet but i can hook u up with some pics if you like.

 

I'm sure there's someone out there with a real ctr..

 

buy a REALLY cheap 4dr LS
Reg it
Remove all VINs etc..
Place LS VINs on JDM ITR
Burn LS, dispose of so no one finds it
Drive your "legal" JDM ITR around

If any questions every came up, you did A TON of body work on the car. All by yourself.

 

Yeah just make sure you make friends with a shop just so they'll back you up or something I dunno.

 

Get a job at your local post office, and register the vehicle as a postal vehicle

 

Yeah thats Wayne with the CTR and it's real. He lives here in Macon. He had a firewall out of a Civic SI put in and thats how he got it registered with a U.S. vin. I prefer to not steal a vin off another car, so I like the idea that db8sirg had.

right.. because drag racing makes the world go round, and is the be all end all..

pretty cool that merely swapping the firewall got it to pass DOT.. I wonder how he got it cleared and VIN'd..

It's not really STEALING if you own the other car, your just reusing parts
Btw, are you on the spoon rim payment plan? Why the mis-matched wheel :lol:

 

Does the 4-door Type R have different seats? Those look more like LS seats or something. On another note, something I found out (which may be applicable to only one state and no, I don't know what state if that's the case) is that to register a vehicle for race-use only, you have to provide dates of competitions, show a logbook that the car was raced, etc., all this extra BS that makes it not so...acceptable. HPDEs don't really count as competitions, so I wonder if they'd qualify or not.

 

I didn't mean swapping firewalls got a DOT clearance. I meant it was regged as a Civic Si, he just better hope he doesn't get in a wreck.

What do you mean different seats? They are black Recaros with red stiching, similar to the USDM ITR seats.

Mismatched wheel ? I'm confused I think .....
