Is there some !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! -like company that does these conversions? Why did they knock the 6-speed to a 5-speed? Why did they modify it so much? Is it a vin swap? Why am I seeing ads for Christmas stuff and it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet? So many questions..

RARE! NO LOWBALLERS!

Seems... suspicious.

I just searched Motorex the other day for the first time in a long time. Surprised that they still exist.

Chances are that it’s a scam. Zero mention in the ad about federalization? Seems like something you’d want to address in an ad for such a hot item car that has zero business being in the states.

maybe the 5 speed is more stout?

maybe it wasnt imported through motorex?

maybe through https://www.japaneseclassics.com/ ?

motorex hasnt been doing business for a long ass time, so its odd their webpage is still up... someone is paying for the webspace and domain name...

I don’t know, they seem to only import stuff 25 years or older, I’m not sure this car is powerful enough to necessitate that but maybe the stock 6 speed is really weak

maybe the craigslist add is really one of these

That’s a 1988 Siliva, and would be eligible for import, I think newer parts on the car should be ok, I’m not quite sure though

That website haunts me. Every week I check to see what they brought in. Can’t wait until the mid-90s cars are eligible for the the 25 year exemption.

the only thing I can think of, is that the car is titled as being something else.

Me too!!! i cant wait till the late 90s are eligible as well!~

I think by that time, i might actually be able to afford one cash!

Let me answer everything in order.

No

5 speed is much stronger than the 6

Because the owner wanted to?

No, it’s registered on the original VIN

American holidays are weird as hell.

Cars that aren’t VIN swapped almost never get crushed.

Motorex doesn’t still exist.
