Jus got my new project and I noticed some thing that were different. First there is kilometers on the speedo with a sohc tach. It has manual seatbelts and there is a sticker on the door jam that says Canadian Import. I don't know if this is rare or not but I've seen a lot of 240s and never seen this on a left hand drive. Was jus wondering if anyone has any info on this

OMG, why do people get these misconceptions that Canada is some weird magical place for cars. I could buy a S chassis and drive it across the border to Washington, Cali whatever. Not rare at all, but it is cooler than all the 400,000 s13 hatches in California.
Btw I can push a button on the dash of my coupe and read it in kilos.
mahalo bitches.

I guess its not rare at all but now I understand y the mainland has so many rhd cars imported. In hawaii its almost impossible to import one I look at many different ways even had a guy I japan ready to sell me a car and he said customs wouldn't allow it

Just curious, why would you think we drove RHD? Americans amaze me sometimes, so just wondering...

if its a pig nose its open diff,kms cluster, and manual belts.. also depending if its a 90 it'll have day time running lights (dtrls) as "fog lights"...91+ s13s all came with vlsds from factory
fatlace808 is correct chucki's come with dtrls

To be fair, there are a TON of right hand drive cars in Canada because of our import laws. At least there are on the West coast, I don't know how many there are out east.
But no we dont officially drive RHD. lol

Your statement above is actually very very very incorrect. The importing and registering of Canadian vehicles into the U.S. is alot harder then you have said. You have to go through all the proper channels just like you would for importing any other vehicle from another country, i.e. customs, EPA, DOT, NHTSA, CARB.
I mean yes you could probably buy a car across the boarder and drive it over but it is actually highly illegal and considered smuggling by law enforcement.
It sux the big one because we were looking at this as an option to import vehicles when I worked for an importer.

Seriously? All the other Canadians in this thread are lying.
We only drive RHD and are on the other side of the road...stop confusing the americans guys.

In Canada, we learn at a young age that FWD is superior in all forms of motoring. Drag racing especially.
