has anyone done this or tried importing a car with a swapped engine that isn't stock?
i'm wondering because i'd like to import a swapped car (celi w/ 3sgte)... i know we have 2nd gen 3sgte's in canada in other cars (mr2/5gc)... but i have some worries... i'm just worried it might not even be allowed into the country or pass the federal inspections i've went to riv.ca to read up on importing cars... but it doesn't really say in detail... will either customs or the federal inspection places check to make sure the engine matches the vin or wutever? -------------------- |

If Canada is anything like the US then have the engine removed, bring the car and motor over seperatly then put them back together when they make it there, as long as a car doesn't have a motor then customs can't treat it like a car so you miss the inspections and testing that go with it.
