Legally nope. That's called modifying a vin plate and emission plaque.

 

True story. And the consequences are double what removing that tag off your mattress is............

 

oops....
Oh wait i only removed the tard sticker telling you what kind of thread pitch the oil filter takes.

 

How about just removing the vacuum diagram?

Uh oh

 

You remove a vin plate or emission plaque the consequences are pretty severe. They can crush your ride. Ask me how I know. Yea.....

 

Ouch, that sucks bro.

 

Makes for a good story eh

 

So much for the cowl intake.....

 

Could relocate? I'm not familiar with those laws, but do you have inspections?

 

Could you relocate it?

 

Thanks for the awesome information guys!

 

Not here is KS, when I had it inspected all they did was make sure the vin on the dash matched up with the vin on the metal plate riveted to the driver side firewall. I want to be able to drive it anywhere and not break any laws so even though it may get through here, it may not else ware.
I could go over the engine and go in through the passenger side. I wanted to have access from the top to get any metal shavings out after cutting but you dont have overhead access on the passenger side. Id have to get more tubing but that could work. Also on the driver side the vent is open and would suck in fresh air. Edit: I suppose if I went through the passenger side I could remove the plastic vent, cut the metal above the intake out, then put the vent back on allowing it to have fresh air. However then it could suck water into the interior vents so that may not work.

 

It is against the law to remove a mounted vin.

I watched my pride and joy civic get flattened after I did a rhd conversion and did not have a certified shop reinstall the vin... It hurts like hell watching about 15k get flattened in 30 seconds.
Rhd, ctr b16 custom built lsd trans 5 lug black type r seats gathers interior bronze glass.... It was all true jdm.... Now it's most likely a fender of some econo box.

 

Im sorry to hear that. Is that only for the vin though? The vacuum diagram doesnt have the vin posted, Id remove the portion of the sticker to the right of the bar code.

 

This kinda **** should be illegal. I can understand if you did something insanely illegal like putting a flame thrower on the back or mounting real guns on it, but for not having a special person rivet in a piece of stamped metal? Jesus.
