Importing a Modified Car (usa) - Click HERE for Original Thread

newred
Anyone has any experience or have ever Importing a Modified Car from the USofA.
I'm mostly talking about getting it to past Federal inspection (@ Canadian Tire)

Like if the car was stock with Twin Turbo & was modified with a Single Turbo upgrade, will it or can it past.

or

If the car was N/A & now that the car has a Turbo or Supercharger.

If anyone has done this before could you post or PM me with your experience.

Thx
Toby

Yes, you do.

Federal Inspections are contracted by RIV to be done at Canadian Tire.

It's OOPs that can be done elsewhere.

The federal inspection is the easier of the 2 inspections you have to get. All they check for in the ferderal inspection is if you have day time running lights and have the child safety restraint somewhere in the car (doesn't have to be installed).

the federal inspection has to be done at CT. you can get an OOP at most mechanic shops but not a federal one.

edit** didnt see awd reply, but he got the gist of it hah.

if the car has a salvage title or a rebuilt status title in the states, then they will want it back to 100% oem stock parts

if it has a clean and clear title, then as far as i've been told your good to go

You can get your OOC's done at trailmobile on yellowhead just before 156th. Thats where i got mine done, good bunch of guys. My car has never and will never see a canadian tire.

READ CAREFULLY, YOU CAN NOT GET A FEDERAL INSPECTION ANYWHERE BUT CANADIAN TIRE, YOU CAN HOWEVER GET OOP's DONE JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. YOU NEED A FEDERAL INSPECTION TO IMPORT A VEHICLE NOT JUST AN OOP.

Really?

Maybe I'm wrong...

92_WhItE_H23
oh i thought he said OOP aha. my bad maybe i should read more carefully. however i still find it hard to believe you had an imported car inspected elsewhere. can you post some proof maybe that will help alot of people

Eclipser
When you import a vehicle, you get a sheet with a list of registered inspection agencies for your OOC (federal inspection). I dont have a scanner.... And cannot find my inspection sheet. But take two minutes, and call trailmobile on yellowhead trail, ask them if they do out of country inpections. My car has never been to a canadian tire, and never will.

my bad..i emailed RIV anyways ill post the results when i get my reply. just to clear the air i guess its always been assumed only CT can do it, specially considering thats what it says on the RIV site.

newred
thanks guys & I know where to get all the inspection done at. I was mostly wondering about a Modified Car. And I think that you answer my questions.

thx again.:thumbup:

They do, that is true. But, that is because canadian tire gives them that extra little $ to not make it easy to find that other places can do the inspection.
