Car Info: 2001 Forester RS2 SPEC-F
I do not think they could yank a certification for a vehicle that went through all the loopholes, but I do not doubt the crazy that is our government either.
and yes, there are better cars, but its not about the performance (the R33 is a pig) its about owning a piece of car history.

couldnt you technically wait until 2014 and import a skyline from 1989? it would be 25 years after its release so it would be exempt from any rules since it would be considered a collectors vehicle, right?
now im not sure if it would have a loophole around emissions, if thats a different matter. im not really sure what that entails. im just saying it would be wiser that way because a skyline in cananda is about 14k USD for a decent one, maybe even less by 2014 unless we all go crazy and the Canadians catch wind of our plans
someone correct me if im wrong though

yes, MotoRex was selling 32's and 34's CA registered. They never did any crash tests on either of those chassis and thats the start of when things started to get shady. As time went, every year to meet DOT spec was getting more strict. The amount of work needed and turn around time was becoming an issue. Cars were paid but no car delivered to customer, and that money was being spent (let's not get into that) by the owner. That brought them too much attention when people started filing police reports and claims. A buddy bought a 91 R32 GTR Vspec-II for 47k from them CA reg'd and plated.
Agreed, if anyone wants to know the story look on fresh alloy.

now that could have worked but when news of MotoRex getting shut down, their Garage was broken into shortly after and Skylines were stolen. There was a dedicated police team to track and recover these stolen skylines. That and combined with the shadyness that went down, Police are well informed of the Skyline. MotoRex ruined the possibility of owning a legit Skyline, in California atleast.
