Imported a car lately? read this heads up:

[Vteckidd]

No big secret, when they shut down MOTOREX it was because motorex was doing ILLEGAL SHIT.

Kaizo, was doing ILLEGAL shit too. He claimed he was manufacturing the cars in japan, they just HAPPENED to look like R34GTRs. In reality he was buying shells, stripping them, putting DOT glass in them, importing them and selling them stateside.

Again, he was trying to exploit the system.

He got caught.

ALmost any imported JDM car here is goign to be "FEDERALLY ILLEGAL". State titles are going to go away iMO in the next few years.

Daryll is not a broke kid, hes got A LOT of money or so it looks like it. So i expect hes got enough money to lawyer up.

The feds would have to prove that the cars were NOT being made from scratch in Japan. I dont think they can do that. Plus, Kaizo was selling them basically as a newly manufactured car, thats why it was called a KAIZO CAR, not an R34 GTR.

I dont know what the requirements are for that. Does his cars neet to meet Crashstandards>? DOT compliance? If so, what about KIT cars?

Itll be interesting to see

very true, I'm also interested to know the scope of this. I was very deeply considering (and getting financially to the point) in order to buy Rupertakers EK9, but now im having second thoughts about this. - why would they seize some of the old MotorEx cars if they had a bond release from the DOT? That is the part that worries me.

I dont want to drop the money, get it all squared away, and then in a few years the Feds decide to pick on Honda importers next. What is your opinion Vteckidd?
