I'm just curious, if I had a way of getting right hand drive CRX's, Skylines, MR2's, etc, with options like Glass roof, not sunroof, and VERY lightly moded up, about 15 years old with about 10000 kms, would many people be interested?

EMAIL me if yer seriously interested... I can't give much information on this, but let's just say it's totally legal for Canada, and can start happening by the beginning of summer.

Not when they are 10,000km on it

Wow, 10,000km and only 10years old, someone must've really babied those cars, I put 10,000km on my car in a few months.

I haven't got the information about selling to the U.S.A. yet, but I think it's easier for me to sell them there once I have cleared them through Customs in Canada First and had them certified.

well how much do u think a rhd 92-95 hatch would cost?

No way you can get a RHD into USA fesibly. Canada has to be 15yrs old.

http://www.importconcern.ca <- overpriced but gives you an idea.

there are RHD cars in Edmonton. A lot of them and fast ones.

 
Rep Power: 302

i haven't noticed but it's not like i'm on the lookout for them. watch i'll see one today. i wonder how hard it would be to adapt to the RHD.

Like I said, I'm just feeling out the market. I got a good line on good cars, VERY low KM's, but not really modded out. Just an intake and exhaust on about 1/2 of them. If my calculations are right, I can start bringing them in to Canada and get them inspected and certified and whatever and sell them for pretty cheap. I'm not sure of ALL the details yet, as I am still investigating, but so far it looks legitimate.

what did i tell you foolish mortals...

Look out for 180sx, MR-2s, skylines, RX-7s, 300ZXs and a lot more.

Blue-Wolf - There are a lot of people in Edmonton who import cars. Off hand I know of 6 people who have and are still importing them. You have to find your handle before you jump headfirst into it.

Mm, I've seen the same 180SX RHD downtown a few times over now, its a hot car, I did a double take when I saw the steering wheel not where it was supposed to be.

What colour? Strawberry or Raspberry. Did it have the S15 front end or S13 front end?

 
Rep Power: 0

I think it was the darker red, which I presume is raspberry. The guy didn't seem to keep it very clean and usually has a lot of stuff piled into it it would seem. As for the front end I -believe- was S13 (haven't seen it in about 2months now, been downtown less). Had a large diameter exhaust too if I'm not mistaken, I wonder what kind of mods he was running.

 
Rep Power: 0

Depends which one you're referring to. Dark red without flip-up headlights he had just the standard intake/exhaust/BOV. He bought that one for it's look(a sil-80) and sold it. He drives another one that's similar but it's his winter beater. That guy has and had some fast cars.

That's exactly what i wanted to know. I didn't want to start going forward with this if there were many people already doing it. No point in sitting on the merchandise. I may pick a nice skyline for myself tho. They have MUCH potential.

Skylines do have a lot of potential for being pricey in Japan... For a fraction of the cost you could easily have a 300-400HP silvia or 180sx or RX-7.

 
Rep Power: 0

Mm, SR20 imports are pretty cheap, find a local 240SX and swap it old-school style...

I wouldn't want to try my hand at a 400HP RX-7 not only are those things getting more and more rare (esp. the engines which people seem v. adept at blowing..) the maintenance on those things can be daunting, esp. w. heat issues, the odd apex seal blowing and scarcity of parts.

 
Rep Power: 302

i think that's really only for hardcore enthusiasts or someone who wants something rare. there's plenty of cars to mod here in NA.

It's all about cheap and affordable performance. For roughly $6-10K you can have a properly built 300-400HP RX-7 or 180SX. Try to find that around here, most people don't know what they are doing or they cheap out. Out of the cars I have seen they had upgraded turbos, downpipes, injectors, headgasket, intercoolers, ECUs, etc(and that's not looking on the inside). If you think a SR20DET swap is better, price it out. And Blue-Wolf that's your handle.

I think the buyout is around $3200. $2000 to ship to Edmonton(Owner->broker->vancouver->edmonton). So that kind of car for under $6000.

You want a killer car, get yourself a 1980s 280 ZX. now that's a killer ride!

This is being done on a large scale by the guys at www.importconcern.ca .. you can find lots of information on their site and forums. There are quite a few RHD cars running around - I drove a '89 MR2 SC imported for around $3000 canadian.. fun car, but since it was a lower auction-grade it ended up drowning my buddy in repairs. He wasn't too happy about needing to reverse into drive-ins either, or making left turns across busy intersections.

Heh, didn't think of that. Maybe we need to get together and open a Right-handed drive thru?

JDM drive-thru, just when I thought I'd seen JDM go as far as it would go...wow.

I would never buy an auction jdm car. There is a reason why they're being auctioned off. I would only buy private or broker.
