    The short story is no there is no legal way to register it. If it's not fed legal it's ILLEGAL regardless If you get a state title or not.

    Also Georgia recently passed a law that forbids titling cars with less than the 22 or whatever usdm vin characters (Jdm only has 16 or something)

    you cannot title it through the state here at all and if you try the Feds can seize it an crush it if your friend imported it illegally.

    The only way you can register it is paying someone an assload of money to to do it for you through some state loophole that gets you a state title in another state then you transfer it here. But even then they can reject it if it has less than the 2X usdm digits.

    You pretty much have only one option: find a totalled rsx that wasn't reported to insurance and vin swap it, also federally illegal

    VIN numbers are 17 digits i think, even on mack trucks it's 17. JDM has less. call the GA DMV in hapeville and get a supervisor on the phone who can tell you some better info. if people can have r32's in GA then a teggy should be able to come too. maybe you find a state to title it to that will and transfer to GA then it should work no prob.
    Check out my for sale threads!! 15" competition speakerbox, 1TB External hard drive, and plenty of car parts!!!

    Like I said Georgia has closed that loophole. Any car state titled with it's 12 digit will not be able to have it's title transferred here to a ga title.

    It used to be you paid a guy in Florida to get you a state title then transfer it here. That is stopping a lot of the state title stuff from happeningthe loopholes are closing rapidly

    i knew about motorex but i thought thier were some exclusions but i know they lied on the r34 crash test. i remember the guy in florida getting in trouble for importing. i know it would have to be inspected and pass emmissions for sure but the kidd knows more about the harness etc than i do.

    VIN swap = jail time and fines.
