At a certain wrecking yard I found a JDM RHD Red rx7. It was caught by customs, crushed, and is now stripped.

Who was the unlucky fellow?

 

what do you mean caught by customs? whats that

 

Someone tried to import it from Japan, did not have the proper paperwork and it was crushed. Its the law.

 

That sucks

 

CHITTY. Now what yard was that....?

 

You can know tomorrow after I get the parts I want off it... ahahaha

 

another great example of our 'freedom'

 

Ok,
I have no use for anything off it anymore.

Is a 1994-5/ Rx7.

Its at Portland Auto Wrecking.

The black carpet, rear black seat, R1 oil coolers, and a few other things are left.

 

Sorry dude. I was the guy that wrenched the goodies. What kind of wheels were those? That's just about the only thing I didn't get (couldn't afford). But man they made it hard to resist.

I managed to grab the Tein HA's, Brembo X-drill/slotteds, the exhaust and downpipe and the ECU. Need any of it? Pics in the 4-sale page.

That was a sad site.

Did you know who's car it was? I still feel bad for them.

YGPM on the Teins, someone stole my last set.

 

At least it got crushed as sad as it is, Washington State Patrol impounded and seized a R33 Skyline GTS-T, Customs wasn't interested for whatever reason, so they sold it at auction for $2100 and the guy who bought it got a WA title for it. What a retarded bunch of bull$hit.

 

I cant believe that they did that. Skylines are ALWAYS sold at auction for export only.

 

In reality the car should have been allowed to be cut in 1/2 and kept by the owner minus a chunk of the unibody, therefor making it parts legal to have, not just taken and crushed. I used to be a JDM importer and know my rules very well.

 

the jdm rx7 that was crushed was a seized car that was used for smuggling drugs and sat at the auction yard for 3-4 months before they decided to crush it. as far as i know it had not motor or transmission.
