spotted it on his/her driveway in a heavily constructed area in evergreen.. it looked to me like it was fresh off the boat! :D I just drove by it, looked genuine to me :dunno: even the tailights looked different (a bright red), couldnt tell if the steering wheel was on the opposite side or not.. maybe its someone on here or a friends perhaps :dunno:

Haven't seen that one around yet....but I do have two other evergreen area sightings, saw a rice looking civic all smashed up on the front end bein towed on a flatbed yesterday...anybody know what happened to this car??
I have also seen a new black SL500 (or might be an SL55) around evergreen lately.....guy was lowering his top while waiting in line at the stop sign :D can anybody confirm if its an AMG or not?
what color was the integra you saw???? championship white or something different?

if "championship white" is the color type r's are then yes it is. Its in the new new area, you know between bridelwood and older evergreen, its not far from where that huge new church is.
it looked pretty genuine to me... but what do i know, i drive a camaro :dunno:

Is there a big difference between the local and JDM Integras?

the geo metro owners are a bit slow :D
I HIGHLY doubt the steering wheel was the opposite side. The headlight pattern would blind oncomming drivers because of the opposite side of the road they drive on in Japan, hence why Skyline's and cars like that are very hard to import.

:werd: dude, you still drive on the proper side of the road if you have a RHD car.:thumbsup:
dunno where you came up with that:confused:
The beam pattern of RHD cars directs the headlights to the left, the same as LHD cars direct the headlights to the right. The problem is, if the headlights are directed to the left, well, there's opposite traffic driving there here in Canada :thumbsup:
This is not to say you CAN'T import a RHD car, but this among many other things makes it difficult, as you have to change/modify this, as well as safety issues, so you won't see too many RHDs driving around. And if you were to improt a JDM ITR, why not just import a Skyline instead? :dunno:

Maybe the tens of thousands of dollars difference in the price tag?

But if you're going to go through ALL that trouble to get one of those cars over here, I'd much rather have something really unique :thumbsup:

It couldn't have been real because you can't import anything made within the last 12 years.

wrong, you can import anything you want....... you just can't register or insure the thing..... and anything over 15 years can be registered :D

That's kinda what I meant. What good is a car if you can't drive it? That's what I was thinking of. I thought it was 12 years.

Hello boyz,
The JDM ITR in which you are reffering to is mine.
1999 CW ITR with a JDM conversion with 2 red Recarro SRD's and JDM tailight conversion too.
If you see me bombing around Evergreen give a wave.
Nate Dogg out.

You cannot modify a vehicle to comply with canadian standard.
It is perfectly legal to drive a RHD vehicle in canada.

Believe it or not, I think he's right. I'm pretty sure it's the same for all JDM cars. JDM RHD STi projector lights project lights opposite to our cars here, so it shines to the left more. I'd have to get Euro-spec STi lights to get the proper beam pattern, which shines to the right. :)

Hmmm ,so the only difference is pretty well the white clears on the end. Are those legal on the streets. If they are what are the prices for those.

Yes, it's a black SL55 AMG, the guy lives at the top of evergreen hill, the house that looks like a castle with the huge chandelier at the entrance.
