I"m at the toronto/niagara border crossing. It is pretty difficult to get a non molested stock evo. Why would I when I can get a modified one that has all the bugs worked out. Sorry again for bringing a dead thread alive again.
So what are you asking exactly? I'm not sure how T.O is with emission standards. I know in Manitoba I don't have an issue with that, however if you get an Evo without any emission stuff on it, this may cause you an issue there. I'm only guessing though as it might not be a problem at all. You could always bring it through another boarder crossing if it is. You'll need to get your paperwork done and emailed to the boarder 72 hours (I believe) before you cross. Bill of sale...etc. I can't remember everything since its literally been 10 years since I've done it. However, you can call the boarder directly and they'll answer whatever questions you have.

Be careful on buying a modified Evo. There are lots that are done will, but even more that are hacked together.

Good luck!

Importing an evo

Thank you Teal for the reply .What I was exactly asking is are the customs agents strict with visual? Like any mod like intake without dot number,air breather filter, a big manifold and turbo hanging off the engine, a louder then stock exhaust, anything that .doesn't look stock? I could be thinking too much but the last thing I want happening is paying 20 grand and I can't bring it over. Am I being too paranoid ?thanks for the help again

you'll be fine man. Mine came over with a 3" exhaust, no cat, ....etc. It was still stock ish at the time, but there was enough stuff on it that if it mattered, i would have known.

You'll be fine man. Just get something clean, its worth the extra cash.
