Ok so I know that importing GT-4's is illegal, but what about taking a junker 6gc and throwing the GT-4 engine, trans, bumber, hood, etc is that illegal or legal for the U.S.A

Yes. Talk to pipes, or look his profile up here. That's what he did. He turned a 94? GT into a GT4, AWD and everything just by importing a GT4 clip, and installing all those parts into a USDM model Celica.
The reason it's not legal is mainly because of the crash testing data for the GT4 that America doesn't have. But feel free to import a fully working GT4 and swap all the parts into a GT. The other thing you can do (HIGHLY ILLEGAL) is import a working GT4, and then swap the VIN numbers from your GT to your fancy new GT4 and then just throw your GT in the crusher. But this is terribly illegal, and if caught, you can get really messed up / they can just take your car away. This post has been edited by Ruroniarc: Jan 9, 2010 - 10:17 PM |
