offtopic but i went on a cruise last year and the cayman islands (west of jamaica) is loaded with Evos, R33 R34 skylines (a silver nicely modded one in fact), FTOs, and even saw my first curren there. basically felt like being in japan all over again but more tropical.

same thing is Dominican Republic, you can import any car you want, I think last year they passed a law that says you ahve to do a LHD conversion in order for the car to be legal, but there are still ways around that too.

ok, what you guys can do, is just bring the shell, and buy an engine here from ebay. That makes it a kit car. buy a st205 with a bad engine, and then toss it.

QUOTE (NgoFcukinWay @ Nov 9, 2008 - 1:45 AM) I heard customs is catching on to that stuff lately though, but I dunno. It's just something I heard along the grapevine. that's exactly right. sooner or later customs/DOT is going to realize these are real production cars & not kit cars. some have illegal VIN's that belong to another car/model altogether. (e.g. a ST205 with a VIN belonging to an ST so it could be registered & titled here) i wouldn't be suprised to hear in a couple of years about a lot of these cars getting confiscated & crushed. personally, it's something i wouldn't do but, i'm old & don't want to see a car taken away from me & crushed  -------------------- '87 AW11 MR2 "Super R2" 4AG-ZE swapped Stage 1 Complete
