all imported cars ( like imported from another country not HONDA import) are still considered grey marker FYI.. The motorex r33s even when insured are still insured under grey market..

Except they have the federal documentation to go along with it. Thus making it legal.
OK sorry, last post I promise

chad_everson · 10-10-2007, 05:33 PM

I had everything replaced and went through the correct chanels to get it legalized. I would not jeoprodize spending all the money for the s15 than another almost 85k to get it built to just get impounded..

I do agree with you about the post where the guy says you have to know people.. that is not legal that is just going through loop holes to get a title..

It's now quite apparent his "legalized" S15 isn't truely legal. So I suppose it doesn't really matter what he does with it.

I'm also not quite understanding what you're spouting off about with jdm parts. All the aftermarket parts I've ever had or seen in the japanese market are extremely cheaper than they are stateside. Have you even been to UpGarage? For example: you can get used cusco strut bars for the s14 for around $20. Here you would be paying upwards towards $150 for a used one...

Only OEM parts are similar in price in the Japanese market as they are in the US Market.

Up garage sells other peoples garbage and yes I have been there. Now so you will get my point a little better lets do some price comparison here.

Cosworth Pistons - 155 each (RB26).
Same Cosworth Pistons sold by JUN about 2200.00 for the set.

Greddy Oil Cooler Kit (about 700 ish for the good one)
Piece together my own Setrab set up from Summit about 500.00

HKS Step 3 Stroker Kit for RB26 About 9k (Made by crower in the states)
Direct order that fucker for about 6K-7K

A custom radiator from Ron Davis with Fans would cost me the same as the Greddy radiator I just bought without fans. The only reason I didn't go that route was because I neeeded it kinda quickly and didn't have the time to wait. Ron Davis is far superior to Greddy radiators as I have been told by many engine builders. Hell even japanese guys I know would love to have one themselves.

The only thing I have bought in Japan that was cheaper than stateside shit was the NAMS Control Arms (Complete Kit was about 2300.00 against the 2500 ish that it would have cost to buy everything from SPL)

That is what I am talking about right there. Do not insult my intelligence by telling me about junk distributors like Up garage. If you actually learned anything while you were here (i am assuming you lived here at one point) you would know that there are better places to find better shit for better prices and that is what I do Up Garage is a joke.

However, regardless of who you talk to, an S15 is still going to cost some cash unless you buy a Spec S that has to be completely reworked anyways and would cost even more than the type R in the long run (I know someone that went this route and he says to just go ahead and get the type R in the first place, to many things need to be changed to make it what it should be and it all adds up way to quickly).

You made a lame statement that made no sense to me about S15's being cheap or whatever so I called you out on it (it was a lame statement). I am tired of guys thinking everything is oh so cheap when they are comparing used parts to new parts or whatever, I get so much shit from the states it is crazy. Shit my S15 will be USDM Tyte Yo!!!

PLUS bashing this dudes project over legalization or the choices he made is really fucking retarded. Who really cares if his car is legal or not, it looks like a cool project and the consequences of his actions have absolutely no bearing on your daily life, so get the fuck over it clown ops. Take this shit to PM if you got anything else to say to me, I am done with you.

Get what I am saying now???

Don't reply it really isn't necessary.

300hp owen · 10-10-2007, 05:44 PM
