Has anyone heard of an R32 in canada. I have been looking into it and it is on the list of non-admissible. http://www.riv.ca/english/US_vehicle_admissibility.pdf
Anyone have any clues?

Re: R32
There are a few in Canada, I believe Quebec allows wrecked ones to come in and be rebuilt, but I don't think you can take them out of the province. There is also the HPA Twin Turbo R32 car here in town that we are not quite sure how it is here but in general you cannot have one here. With money and creativity I am sure it could be done but could have issues with insurance down the road.Blair

Re: R32
There are a dozen or so that have been brought up through Quebec as salvaged cars and then repaired. In Quebec you can register the car with a rebuilt status. I believe that is the only loophole.
There is also an HPA twin turbo R32 in town, but the owner has a residence in the US as well, so it's not registered here.
Other than that, there is a beautiful R28 (400+hp) in town owned by one of our members. It's for sale, too.
If you're interested in getting an R32, you could buy one of the Quebec salvaged / repaired cars for anywhere between $29K - $40K, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Re: R32
The Audi TT didn't pass IIRC and special modifications has to be made, I imagine they did not think it was worth the extra effort (they probably knew it would fail)KR

Re: R32
Yeah the audi TT"s front and rear bumpers have an extra 2" of bumper added. Looks horrid when compared to US or euro versions.Originally posted by KorSimonComment

Re: R32
Don't hold your breath. It is rumored to cost about $5 million to certify a car such as this for the Canadian market and when we would probably only get 200-500 of them thats an additional 10,000 - 25,000 cost per car so just not going to happen :( :(Originally posted by AleksBlair
