Ah ok, like I said I wasn't 100% sure on the specifics  :) that just further explains the amount/accessibility then. 

 

Been having some intermittent start problems lately (suspecting the ecu currently) so I might be moving towards an evo 7/8 ecu swap. I'll start a build thread later to keep things a bit tidier/out of intro.

Np, well it's an amazing car that destroys both dry and snow, so I can understand why everyone here would like em :P

Hahaha, thanks for the compliments, the car was like that when I got it so I can't take too much credit =P. Also, the car tends to look much better from afar, upclose it's definitely rough around the edges. My hope in the near future is to sand down the surface rust and do a quick spray just to keep it at bay. I'm working on a Masters atm, and haven't really had too much time or funds to really dump cash into cars. I've basically been in school all of my GD life, aha. 

 

As for the market, this is just what I've seen, so don't hold my word as the gospel... iirc canadian import laws are restricted to only 20 years (i believe the states is 25) which allows for quite a lot of jdms to be brought over sooner. A couple years ago, there were a lot of early's on the market, but now it's starting to shift towards the 4-6's (at least that's what the online/classified market is like in my province). Furthermore, for my province (alberta), we have zero tests or regulations for emissions, which makes it that much easier to drive imported vehicles. The only thing the province requires is daytime running lights and a clutch neutral safety switch (along with nothing being too worn out, it's called an out of province inspection). These, of course, are only really required to get it registered/insured, the items can be removed after that because there is no follow up unless the car is sold (but should still pass because a regular inspection is less intense).

 

In addition to the above, jdm cars in general tend me to be more available in western Canada, since japanland is "closer" (yet another reason why BC and Alberta have so many) and it costs relatively little, even with our dollar being pretty trash atm.  

 

Hopefully that all made sense, I tend to ramble with forum posts.

 

Cheers,

Np, I was more than happy to share. Clearly I'm not the most active member, but I lurk more than enough =P

If it helps, this is from an Evo 1 GSR. I'm assuming the plate is fairly universal though since it has diesel motors included.
