No

the motor veichle department of cananda prohibits any car manufactured out of canada to be registered in the country. there is an exception with some american cars but not all i really wish they could change that law man i really want a Jdm car. oh and they especially frown upon right hand drive cars

Im almost positive that right hand drive cars can be street legal her because there is a roll royce hin London that is right hand drive so no problem there. So there is no way to be able to drive a JDm car on the street in canada, track only? that sucks

is it legal in US?

yes the car can be registured in Canada....I know this for a fact because I know some one who is driving a 97 JDM ITR here in Toronto....

as for what is involved?...you're on your own there buddy

You would probably need a lot of friends and a huge stack of cash.

anything is possible,but it won't be easy nor is it going to be cheap either

I know that here in BC there are a few guys with right hand drive cars. They are old 240's and shit. One way to cheat the system is to buy one a jdm right hand drive car then buy a beat to shit car that is the same and switch the vin #'s and say that you cutomizes the crap out of it. It is legal to graft your steering column to the right. Thats a way to cheet the system but I wouldnt recomend it. Thats just an idea.

I think it is legal,because at Cayuga last year there was a real Civic Type R(right hand drive).Plus I seen a guy driving a right hand drive Datsun 280.

I've only seen one JDM Integra Type-R here, and I think its just the front end (if its the same guy we're talking about). The guy that owns it lives next to my best friend. He has Spoon stickers all over it, but I heard his engine is STOCK. But him and his friends have some pretty nice cars, during the summer, I saw a Impreza, a Supra, and a couple Preludes over there.

ok we have mixed opinions I mean "legally" but that Vin is a good idea if all else were to fail. anyone know for sure?

slammedcivicsi · 01-25-2002, 11:30 PM

my friend is using the Vin # idea on his 240 he bought a damaged 240 in Japan and it arrived last week. He then bought a wrecked 240 from some guy that was parting it out for only $100 he did all this junk with the VIN #'s and whalla he now has the only right hand drive 240 in town.

Yeah you're talking about Vincent ... my uncle did his front end conversion on that car ... he's got a Spoon engine in it ... he used to be the owner of ZRD in Calgary ... I see his car too often ...

Oh I never knew he had a Spoon engine in it. A buddy of mine said he talked to him and he said his engine was stock. Maybe he meant he had nothing on the Spoon engine. I always see him everywhere (maybe because he's my friend's neighbour too). What's ZRD? I see ZRD stickers on his car and his friends' cars.
Also who is your uncle? Does he do bodywork on cars? I'm looking for a shop that will graft Skyline R33 headlights onto my 5th gen lude. I was thinking of bringing it to either RPM or Contemporary Motorsports, but if your uncle can do it and a goo job of it, I'm willing to give him some business.
