    Default Bringing Evo to canada

    K my friend is currently in the US working for his dad...so he's gonna buy the evo down there, and it will be insured under his dads name but the border wont even let him drive it back to canada. but i;ve seen evos from california. hes called the border and told him they wont let him through with that vehicle..is this true?

    hes gonna come here for 6months then back down to the states..

    if your moving to a country for a certain ammount of time you have to change your registration and insurance it cant be insured in cali as you are only insured in that state/province i think

    I swear I saw a silver one in Crowfoot on Saturday. It had the front mount intercooler rear spoiler and evo badges. If not it looks like a very convincing Evo 8. Anyone else seen it?

    FOR THE LAST TIME!

    No, you CANNOT import and EVO to Canada.

    Yes, there were a FEW EVOs imported legally as Lancers prior to the model being placed on the RIV ineligible-for-import list.

    That would be fine. Given that he stays a student and has proof that his permanent residence is in the US.

    If he lives in Canada, he cannot bring it across the boarder... simple as that.

    If he was an american, with

    Why does it need to be closed? there is no problem here just a few people not reading it right.

    Just tell your friend (like sputnik said) If he has proof of residence in the states to show the customs guys. I dont see how it would be a problem.

    But if he comes to Canada to go to school for 6 months, he will have his residency in Canada, not the US.

    Now if that is the case then he may not be able to bring it up. Maybe it is because he is the primary driver.

    So is it possible to "bring" a R34 into Canada if a person has proof of permanet residence in the US, and the ar is register and insuranced in the US?

    btw: how did that R34 in the beyond booth during SCN cross the boarder?

    well, i just went across the border into ontario, if the guy that you pull up to at the border is totally fuckin clueless about cars, how is he supposed to know there not allowed in canada? i handed the dude my id, he asked me how long i was stayin there and i was on my way

    the next problem comes when you get pulled over...

    btw, i saw a silver one today, mmmmm, nice wide fenders, wide rims, IC,
