ok we all know its quite imposible to get a evo7 over here and have it street legal but today i saw a totaled yellow oz and i had a idea say someone orders a left hand drive evo from say EI then they buy a totaled oz of the same color from a auction for like 2 grand then you swap all the id/vin tags to the evo 7 then you have a evo with a salvge title but still your not gonna sell it you know then you just need to know some one to get a inspection sticker or am i just dumb or could this work. you just say in repairing the car you used japanse parts or a evo kit you know???????????

 

Swapping VIN # = Highly illegal.

Anyone disagree? You'd probably be uninsurable if you got into an accident and your insurance company or the police found out.

 

An illegal and stupid idea that has already been posted a while back. But yes it is concievable if you want to risk it.

 

extremely illegal. like jail time illegal.

 

well ya but its illegal to drive the dam car in the us i just wanna know if it ca be done and if anyone would notice i mean to the untrained eye its quite a simalar car i mean a test pipe is illegal i mean i dont have the cash to do it im just wondering if you could do it not if you should

 

Ya swapping VIN #'s is borderline fraud. If anything were to happen you'd have a mess on your hands. Not to mention most shops and dealerships wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole.

 

:ELETE::


there's no delete buttons on these things?

 

well of course the dealer wouldent i wouldent tuch the dealer with a ten foot pole its got a difrent motor but really how would anyone find out if you wack it you wacked you oz rally not your evo

 

well you also have to rember when was the last time you had all your vin numbers check as long as i dont report it stolen you know and the seven has some things the 8 dose not and im not sure how well you could simply swich all the panels and i did say lhd from ei

 

Do you purposely misspell everything?

It's not a question of street legal or not; the swapping VINs is the jail time part. Like felony. Federal pound you in the *** prison.

As it is, they run your VIN every time they pull you, in the event the car is stolen, so scratch that off your list.

Also, anybody who KNOWS about Evos (say, any of us, or other enthusiasts) would pick out an Evo VII because of the major face redesign that we've been *****ing about for over a year.

In short, this is becoming a futile thread and I foresee mods locking it soon.

 

I was just about to mention the spelling thing, did he mean wrecked?.....and remember, does, wouldn't, different? Cerfur sorry to bust your chops man but this thread should have never been started.

 

ok just there are a few evo conversions out there that look just like evo's like 90 percent of the world think they are so when they get pulled over and the cop runs there vin do they say oh wait this is nota oz its a evo no they just make sure the car is not stolen and i mispell evrything because im dislesic OK

 

well any one else agree here I mean today somany cars dont look like they should the fact the car would have a salvge title wich would mean mean a rebuild so why not hell there is a honda accord wagon with a full bmw conversion and he drives around all day and hell half the car is a BMW

 

u could.. find a totalled evo and steal the egine and then just have the nice hp in your lancer? or steal the turbo... could that work?

i mean then spend 700$ on a evo 7 body kit and then really be rockin'

 

Honestly, I expected threads like these to disappear when the Evo 8 was released. Guess I was wrong.....

Honestly, just get an 8.........
