So my buddy, who's been telling me my planned 3s swap is a waste (since I have an ST and won't be trusting myself with doing the work) just found out you can register a GT-Four stateside with no limitations. Now the only problem might be getting a whole one through customs and not a clip...but we do know about custom vehicle registration, right?

Since I live in New York, I found this: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/homemade.htm

But...there are no kit car registration limitations, no...well really anything except lots of fees and waiting on inspections.

Seriously, this is plausible to do, isn't it? Why aren't more of us doing it? Considering a GT-Four used is probably cheaper than a swap any day.

or better yet...have a canadian buy it, pay him more to drive it to you. buy him a good meal & plane ticket back home. then you'd have a very good chance because he drove it across and all you have to say is he sold it to you. wink.gif that's what i was gonna try but the seller backed out kindasad.gif
