BDHG940 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi, I havent ever heard of anyone doing this and I want to talk with someone. I am getting ready to buy a 240 and do the sr or rb motor swap in it. Only thing is that it has a salvage title and I have to get it inspected after I get the car up and going. Has anyone got this done and know if they check for the cat or stock motor...etc.... Let me know, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to replace with the silvia front end and swap in the sr20 at the same time. Do you see any problems? Did they inspect your motor and look around at emissions like the cat? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konig_twinkies Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 they will look at all vin numbers to make sure it all matches up as well as all emissions. if you plan to do all of that get it back to stock first because im not sure if they will let it pass with what you plan on doing, you can always contact them and find out if you can do that or not. my guess is no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 that sucks, no stock motor in the car, it is already stripped. I guess that I will just call them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenred27 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 you must also provide recipt for all parts that are not orignal to the car.state inspection stations that are not in franklin county are also not as strict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konig_twinkies Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 you could always take the vin num off the original and put it on the new, not that i would have any experience doing that i got mine inspected in delaware county right off 36. there was stuff that they didnt pick up on that i changed in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGraw Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 generally, as we had an accord we restored. They were more worried about safety features than anything else. Everything else can be reinvented. but if the safety things are passed and then you get into a wreck and die because something wasn't done right and they passed you, than family could go after the county. made sense to me.

TurboII7 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 When I got a salvage title on my RX7 they just checked the car out, made sure turn signals worked and the horn and brake lights worked, and that was about it, they never checked any emissions or anything like that.

TurboII7 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hey as long as I had that car it ran great I actually never had anything go wrong with that car with the new engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Ben Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 My RX-7 was supposed to have a salvage title, but they gave my g/f a clean title instead. And then when I put it in my name, they gave me a clean title also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt-titan Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 just have all your your recipts if you put on new body parts hood, fenders what ever have all paper work there will be no problems on the motor we did a swap on a honda before inspection they didn't even question it. so if you do a front swap get a recipt even if it's a hand written recipt from the person you get it from, and i think it has to be noterized but if you call the state patrol they will answer any questions you have. and it will cost 55.00 i think thats what it was.
