Just gonna leave this here.

I just looked at this from something other than my phone

-repaint
-non OEM body parts (its not a real TME...interior is wrong)
-VIII drivetrain...so it came in as a shell (like the real Ralliart/TME in IL which sold for $11k needing a motor/trans)

waaay overpriced...theres no way to prove it has that mileage, you can't exactly Carfax the thing

 

[TurboMirage]

its just a GSR not a TME.

if its an authentic cluster it may be the real mileage. you can't exactly fake or rewind them.

I'm pretty sure this is the real deal. You can import cars for racing... But this needs to be Vin swapped.... NOW!!

but if it was imported for racing, then it wouldnt have a VIN, and wouldnt be able to be registered. yet it IS registered. it has tags on it. im just going to assume the dude isnt rolling dirty on a car like this with tags from another car...

 

[TurboMirage]

could be dealer plates, or vin swapped with a mirage. happens alot more than you think

It IS possible to reg a car without a vin and without us crash testing it. There are some states that allow kit cars and other things under special provisions.

Flagged the ad

Flagged the ad

so, you're one of those douchebags?

 

[|Chaz|]

Mhmm. I flag stuff if it's posted more than once, if they're asking price doesn't reflect the market, if the poster come across as a douche bag, or if they put multiple names in their TITLE, that's fucking annoying.

 

[eg6sir]

Let them list for as much as they want..lol. they're the ones who are gonna have trouble selling it... could also be to deter joy riders

 

[TurboMirage]

chaz like you have any idea what it is worth lol. chances are he will probably get asking price. they don't stay for sale for very long.

AFAIK, MD (where this car is located) is not one of those states.

 

[TurboMirage]

so apparently i know the guy who built it... he also built this

it didnt even hit me until i posted on MPF... but this started out as a 5G sedan saved from the junker and it is the most COMPLETE conversion ever created in the world.

New car as it began

Some worthy parts for a seemingly unworthy car from japperformance

Some Before and After

Closer to completion

 

[Briansol]

Right, but it may have been reg'ed in a place like forida first... then re-regged in md with th einfo form florida or something. there's always ways.

 

[Briansol]

Great project, but it's a bit disspointing that i's advertised as the real thing, yet it came from boxes of parts. :/

 

[GSRCRXsi]

yup. cool car. and i appreciate the work that went into it.

but its not an original evo and shouldnt be advertised as such. the vin says its a mirage, its a mirage.

not worth the 35k.

 

[awptickes]

AFAIK, MD (where this car is located) is not one of those states.

Wrong. It's a kit car. It'll be registered as the donor chassis in MD. (updated)

I think I recognize the shop, I wish I could remember the name of it, somewhere around Gaithersburg I think.

 

[awptickes]

Also, Looks like it sold.

 

[TurboMirage]

It's regged as a mirage. Obviously lol
