so it is finally in my garage and awaiting to be registered and insured.It is a 1992 FD3S, 3.5 auction grade, 46 140kms. and is stock besides a muffler. Just some info for all of you curious for doing the same. The Fd was legal in april and did not leave japan until may 3. This wasnt to bad becuase i got lucky and it went on RORO. You can save alot of money on shipping if you go through RORO but have to be paitient. after the car got to vancouver it took 2 weeks to go through customs and then another 1.5 weeks to go to calgary. I then took the extra step and got it shipped to medicine hat which only took 3 buisness days. So just to get the car will take you around a good month/month 1/2. Now for price. i gave my first downpayment for 6000, then once i recieved the car i payed the 2 downpayment for 4600. that included shipping from japan to medicine hat. Customs and taxes. and any paper work that needed to be done. I then had to get a out-of-province inspection done for $100 and a apraisal for $75. so far the final cost is $10775. the car still needs 4 new tires, siginal light bulb, rim bent back, and the cancel on the turning siginal fixed. So not everything is perfect when you get your car. mechanic inspection hasnt been done yet, so i will update later. Hopefully this helps you get an idea of what to excpect if you do try importing from japan, and throw your questions out and ill get back. pics will be on later tonight.

 

Well if that motor takes you to 90 or 100 k, that's not too shabby.

 

Awesome, can't wait for to see some pics.

 

ill get more pics once its insured and on the road

 

Holy crap! Look how close the upper ramp is too the car!! That's unnerving!

Great to see some RHD FD's.

 

i know it was especially scary when he was raising the upper car, and the rack started shaking!

 

Sweet ride man. Lot of rhd's landing in edmonton now.

 

Congrats Dave. I can't wait to see it.

 

awesome guys! I have a 1992 JDM on its way also! Its going to Campbell River in BC. I live in Calgary AB, so i dont know to drive it back or not either. But whatever!!! Im so stoked for June 6th when it LANDS!!!!!

i know what you guys are feeling haha. Now im trying to sell my Mint 1982 GSL.

 

right on, i cant wait to go to the calgary bbq meet, finally see some more FD's cuase there is only 1 other one in the Hat. Also my car will be ready to go next week, so i will have more respectable pictures up

 

awesome, yea, we just need to finalize a date for the BBQ meet. Ill be there i think, my 7 should be all prep'd and ready to hit the road!

 

Congrads man. thats a sick car. I am glad to see how many people here are supportive of your car. I just imported the same 92fd only black. And in ontario importing a car damn near makes you public enemy. I have a few very supportive people in the area and a good chunk of people hatting on my poor baby.

 

LOL its only because you paid ALOT less for your FD then the left hand drive guys did.
I'm with you though, RHD is the way to go, cheap, clean cars!

 

heres some better pictures for you guys, thanks for the support and replys. Hopefully i dont have to many enemys Warren Zock, although the amount of mustangs in this city is grose, thankfully 90% of them are stock and 100% of the guys think their cars are gods gift to man kind and i get to see the awsome ahhhhhhh expression when i blow by every time hahah.

 

You're stylin and profiling now!

 

Kids Stealin, Wheelin Dealin!

 

Lookin good Dave. Can't wait to see it in person.
