Who else in Canada is importing a VI?
I recently secured mine in auction through B-Pro Auto in Calgary and it has been driving me nearly insane waiting for it!! Should be here in 4-6 weeks! Who else is getting one?
Here are some pics from the shop in Japan.

The drivers seat is aftermarket along with a handful of other things I wasn't aware of until the car got to the shop. Saves me some money once it gets here!
Front and rear strut tower bar, brake rotors, air filter, radiator, manifold, turbo, intake pipe, right seat, HID lamps, and additional meters all aftermarket. No details on specifics of the parts but that was the initial report.

Very nice...my favorite colour too! I plan on getting one down the road in a few years when the tme becomes legal. That looks like a GSR. Another option I'm looking at is the RSII if a tme isn't in the cards.
First thing you'll notice is the AYC when cornering hard, a lot of owners switched it off via the fuse in the trunk. Con is the rear becomes an open diff, but you feel way more in control of the car. Mind me asking how much it ran you?
Congrats!

I thought about waiting for the TME but if I really want one next year I will get rid of the VI and get the TME. The black ones are usually more expensive too haha
13,500 Canadian. Would've only been around 11,500 of I did direct import but I used the quality assured method which repairs anything for me and gets the OOP done before I get the keys. Has saved me a lot already.

I'm not entirely sure what I want to do yet. Most of the basics have been done already so if I decide to do much more it's going to turn into a project bigger than just bolting on some parts. I will keep you guys updated though once it gets here.
