No updates just yet. My importer is waiting for the official paperwork stating why the car was seized. After that we can petition for it to be released. :/

So you are waiting for the official paperwork To show up at the importers and that takes a few days.....all awhile they are charging YOU $50 a day. That sucks. So how many days has it been? Do they include saturday and sunday?

I've put the 99 spec OEM bumper on my CYM. If you've got the $ I'd highly suggest you also buy the rebar (bumper reinforcement that goes behind the bumper too, otherwise you'll be spending a lot of time cutting your old one to accommodate the bumper. I kept my old rebar and it took a lot of cutting to get the bumper fitment perfect.

Yes, what are the odds on that! Maybe MS01's were a common option people put on CYM's back in the day... but I haven't seen any other CYM colour ones other than mine and yours.
I even bought a 99 spec spoiler and I had decided on painting the centre bit black too,but then in the end I went spoiler-less for a cleaner look. that 99 spoiler looks nice on your cym tho. Got any more pics of your car that you can link me to?

Alright my friends. After a VERY long time of headaches....
I still don't have my project car. ******* customs.
Anyway I've been lacking on putting up pictures of the deconstruction of the cym because I finally found the daily that I've been looking for for the past two years. (Pics of said daily will be at the bottom of this post)
Anyway updates on customs: They sent me a letter stating that the tires and the headlights are not up to US code. So I wrote them a letter saying that the car is for parts and that if the headlights and tires are the only thing keeping it from getting to my door than take a baseball bat to the headlights and slash the tires and SHIP ME MY DAMN CAR ALREADY YOU ******* HOCKEY PLAYING, MAPLE LEAF LOVING, CANADIAN BACON EATING MOTHER *******!
I hope I get the car "un-seized" soon.
On to the pictures!!!!
Thank you to McGee (my ginger friend) for helping in the process. (I paid him back with beer
)
DAILY!!!
TINT!!!
I registered my FD for a car show before it got wrecked so I took my Volvo and put on my FD plates for ***** and giggles. lol
Funny thing is that the Volvo actually won Best Stock Plus!

Well I got the news today. Canadian customs isn't letting me bring the car over to the USA. AND they want $3300 before they will release the car to me. So in essence I'd be paying $5000 + $3300 for a roller.. Not worth it. I think I'll just take the 5k loss and look for a lhd roller for cheaps.

Okay well I've been dealing with a **** load of problems recently. 12 point suspension and the fact that my roller got seized at the border. I'm working with my lawyer and the importer to get my car out of impound since its a parts car and customs are just being *****.
Anyway I've been pissed for the past week now. They're charging me $50 a day to have the car sit in their warehouse. WTF.
If only customs were this strict on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION as they are on JDM cars. psh.

No kidding. Uphold the laws and control our borders. Try being illegal in any other country and your out on your can. There is no other country that would put up with it. Why do we? Because they want the votes.
The white RX-7 is the best looking one I've seen. Can anybody tell me where to get a high-res version?

No **** maybe they are just trying to take what we took from them back. They are the true Americans Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and so on belong to them. **** let them come I sure as hell would not like to work the fields. If your down go ahead and work the fields and then those illegals would be out of a job. So go ahead and you two take one for the team and work in agriculture and report back if you still want them here or not? I bet your eating vegetables if I was you I wouldn’t eat vegetables so they be out of a job. So please don’t be IDIOTS unless your willing to take there crappy jobs. I sure as hell don’t let me know if your willing and I can most then likely hook you up with a job. The + side is they probably wont come here any more because there is no jobs left for them.

Or can you not bring the car into the country even if you pay the $3300?

Im probably missing something here because I dont think anyone can be this stupid, but... Your going to give up the 5k u just spent on that car and look for a LHD roller, which will probably cost another 5k, instead of just paying the $3300 and getting the car u already bought?

Nice caR. lol Isn't it a perfect daily driver? I'm in love with a Volvo. I never thought I'd say that!
I noticed you also have a prancing moose sticker. lol Gotta love it. Any mods done to yours? 6 speed I assume?
Here are some pictures of mine after a couple of small mods.
