Question legal or illegal, that is the question

i was wondering on the legalities on swapping your engine into a 240sx 89-93. Such as the rb or sr, does anyone have the knowledge of these laws, any and all replies are appreciated

how is that you get caught? do they pull you over for say speeding and tell you to pop the hood? are you fined or is ur license suspended or what? would it be a good idea to invest in a fuzz buster, or just risk it? damn pigs

If you're worried about being caught just buy a blacktop or paint a redtop black or silver... Much less noticable.

lol.. I dont know, I had a redtop painted KA, and swapped to a blacktop SR, you can notice a MAJOR difference.

the SR is WAY bigger than the KA, and it doesnt look like ****.

i live in VA and here they have state inspections that are very thorough and i was wondering if anyone knew if they'd bust you for an engine swap that way.

pay to play childern....
find a hook up and just roll out
you dont hear people wondering if they can get in trouble for weed in they pocket...but they smoke anyway,right?

who cares....if you want to have fun then just do it and make moves to keep your car inspected...



is it illegal to speed with a KA?
that's what i have
