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..

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

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.

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.
