    The VIN swap only works on older cars that only had the VIN on the engine block.

    Our mini cooper is legalized in this way. The car that the vin came off of was summarily crushed and melted.

    hehe, not if you swap ALL the vins..... it kinda sucks on newer cars that almost EVERY part has the original VIN on it, which is usually a tamper-proof sticker.

    It is most likely a 1997 or 1998 and it is certainly a WRX, all 217 hp of it. But it is not an STI. It has had a 22b conversion front end put on and STI seats installed. The rest looks to be genuine JDM, Rear wiper, rear automatic Antenna...

    Look at the engine, no red manifold.
    No carbon strut brace (stock on that vintage STIs)
    No limited 1 of 555 tag in the coin tray.

    Here's a link to a real one
