YOu can no longer put a Jap engine into a Conti car anymore. Your car will not be approved by JPJ...even with money. They're very strict now.

If you get involved in a serious accident...you will be jailed for years for driving an illegally modded car. I'm not kidding.

Really? Unless I see his car's registration card with JPJ's LEGALLY approved documents...I wont believe it's approved by JPJ.
