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?

IbanezFreak87 do you have any more pics of the cym mostly shots with the front bumper, i want my to get the 99 spec front and would love more pictures of it.. not alot of cym with thos front ends

 

update?

 

Speak for yourself

 

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.

 

Damn my pics didn't work.. I'll upload em later when i got some time.

 

pics of my 99 spec front 93 cym. really happy with the fitment... the car is at the paint shop for the next three weeks getting a full respray. can't wait to get it back!

sorry for hijacking the thread Ibanezfreak87! I hope you're making progress with acquiring your project car.

 

You have a 99spec CYM with CYM MAZDASPEED MS-O1s too!!?? What are the odds, guess I'm not unique anymore..

 

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?

 

Not unique!? That's two out of what...100k fd's made...ha, ur lucky to even own cym's!! Punks

 

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!

 

first to say S60R with OEM ground effects FTMFW!

 

Man who detailed that exceptionally clean volvo

 

Some ginger kid. lol

What's up McGee

 

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.

 

wow that sucks! but now you are looking for a lhd roller, is much more easier now

 

why do they want 3300?! and can you appeal it? That's a load of crap!

 

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.

 

So besides all the bs. I hope you get your ride soon.

 

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?

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

-Austin

 

Ironic... my DD is also an S60R, black with atacama (pumpkin?) interior. And my FD is SSM haha

 

Yep. If i pay the $3300 it'll only be released back into Canada. Where I could sell it to some Canadian for maybe 5k. Doesn't seem worth it. I'm talking to a family friend who is a lawyer and he will steer me into the right direction.

Until then I'll be looking for lhd rollers cuz I really need to get this project moving. Thank God my Ford stock is rising...

 

PlexAE86:

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.

 

so what are the updates on your roller? also thos woofs in the back look nice, wish i can mold crap to put something in my fd
