Cluster I always wonder, are you the one in the really old Civic or the Blue Civic HB (I assume 6th Gen) at KS-R in the summer time.

I thought you can't import vehicles manufactured for sale in countries other than the US and Canada, unless 15 years old or more

Quote:

The Motor Vehicle Safety Act and Regulations require that all vehicles imported into Canada comply, at the time of importation, with the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date the vehicle was manufactured. Vehicles manufactured for sale in countries other than Canada and the United States do not comply with the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Act, CANNOT be altered to comply and CANNOT be imported into Canada. The only exceptions to this rule are vehicles fifteen (15) years old or older as determined by the month and year in which the vehicle was manufactured and buses manufactured before January 1, 1971.

Well I guess it really matters if you know the right people in the right places :working:

People in the right places...

This is so true...

My uncle's boss imported a EDM 94' BMW 850 Csi into Canada in 94'..

He said there was a mistake when it was imported on paperwork and it was classified as a Ci..

This car is still in around and driven almost daily...

Crash and emissions are the biggies..

Also help's when your filthy rich....

Hmmmm...

I have an idea.....
