anyone know where I can get a RHD Celica from japan registered in socal? In LA or Orange county. It's a GT4 WRC.

Cut the damn JDM vin out from the Firewall - weld your USDM GT vin in put the GT chasis table instead of the GT4 table - and ready set go. Easy as cake. And its NOT stealing or somthing - its just the way to get GT4 registered and drivible without any problems i guess. hahah good try it aint gonna work because its RHD |

Take it to a service center/garage for a state inspection instead of a state run inspection center, preferably one that you know personally or one that is car savvy and does work on performance cars. If they ask, make up a story that you converted it to RHD/AWD with all japaneese OEM parts. Done. They'll think its cool as hell, and I'm positive that it would go through without them suspecting any foul play on the part of a VIN number. The hardest part is finding the damn thing. Getting it registered is much easier than people make it out to be!
