.... This scares me. If you really want an FD3 then prove you love the car and do research in your area. Contact the company in texas and see if they will ship north of the border. If you have a doubt.. contact someone and figure out whats goingz on. Parts availability? define what you mean by that , stock? aftermarket? You'd have to look around your area for a nice quality rx unless you want one shipped from the states or japan. There is a company in florida (Pettit) that makes 20B fd3s and a company in san antonio, TX (Alamo Rotary) that makes them as well. Contact them for more information about a 20B engine swap, if you want a v8 engine swap (since ur not very specific) talk to jimlab I'm sure he could give you 10000pages of stuff to read.
Any other questions feel free to ask? This forum has some of the most knowledgable people I've ever seen. (myself excluded)

What ever you do don't rush into buying an FD. I bought mine from Toronto Almost two years ago. At the time I had no idea what I was getting myself into and got screwed.
Don't buy the first one you see! If you really want one spend a couple months researching the car and the costs associated with owning one.

I sold a couple FDs to guys in Canada. The conversion is very simple, Canadian front bumper support and DRLs. That's it AFIAK.

Searched thru a couple sites and tested a couple... *droolz*
trying to find one that is all stock, but not much luck. Mayb settle for a crashed up one and just rebuild the whole thing, which i was planning to do anyways.
