JDM motor imports is not one of the more well known importers in town. I'd be pretty careful when purchasing from them. Make sure you request an auction sheet from them before even considering buying a japanese FD. A lot of times they've been driven pretty hard in Japan as well, and the 3rd gen appears more fragile than the 2nd gen turbos.
I can recommend a different import company from Edmonton which I have personally dealt with. Their prices are slightly higher but you get a better product. PM me if you want that contact information.

EDIT *Sorry, thinking of a different shop*

I wouldn't buy from an importer. there are lots of people trying to flip their JDM Fd's for at or less than what they paid for right now. Check out the marketplace on Beyond.ca (Calgary import car forum), you'll find lots. Look at Futball22 -- he paid 10g's for his, 8 g for a new engine, less than 100 kilometres off the dock in richmond. I don't think's its sold yet. If you're dead set on owning a RHD, get his.
