Hey, this is mostly directed towards the Canadians but I'm grateful for any help anyone can offer. Any of you Canadian owners import your Celicas from the US? I've been looking into bringing one up for a friend of mine since they're so much cheaper down there. I've read a bunch of articles on it like this one and this one (which is actually regarding an MR2 specifically) but I'd like someone to actually talk to about it to ask questions and whatever else.
The articles talk about having to convert the speedo from MPH to KPH, but I was wondering since the speedo displays both MPH and KPH if you have to change it so KPH is the primary? I can think of an easy way to change it to KPH, just scan my current bezel and print off inserts to put in the new Celi but then you're left with an odometer that still reads miles... anyone know how, if at all possible, to make the car start recording in kms instead of miles? That's not really a big issue but it would be cool if possible. So if there's anyone out there who has tried importing a car (not necessarily a Celica even) from the US I'd love to hear about your experiences and get your advice. Thanks. |

[right][snapback]236257[/snapback][/right] Lol I've told you that many times (even check your thread in Buying/Selling). I'd even consider buying your car for myself and just selling my own and still being ahead several thousand dollars.

GT-S didn't exist in their database even. But the GT doesn't really exist in Canada so there's no use arguing over the differences between a GT and GT-S. Some people say the GT-S was a GT with most of the options... as far as I've seen, not true at all. There's no such thing as a GT. This post has been edited by 946thGenGT: Jan 20, 2005 - 8:22 PM |
