Hi Gabriel, welcome to IMOC
That is an amazing example, looks like she is well cared for.
Do you have any more details on these items?
Looking to stiffen up the front a little more and not heard of Ultra products.

they are not high quality products like tanabe or other but they really do the job, I don't think I can do anything more to the suspension (except for coilovers), I have every single strut bar, brace, ever made for the sw20

you can find them on ebay for pretty cheap and the guy is in singapore

yeah I take care of my car like if it was my kid... I'm just amazed about how the car react now with all those parts installed (it's the first summer I have that much suspension parts)

[Quigonjay]

i doubt they would be stiffer than the carbing lower brace i was thinking of anyway

Just added cardomain links at the end of the first post to show you some actual pictures of the car (not all the parts are installed)

Sweet looking car mate...

Whats the laws in Canada like with regard to Jap imports?

I am currently under the impression that cars under the age of 15 years old are NOT allowed in the country or does it differ between the different parts?

Im possibly looking to emmigrate to Ontario and would love to get a Jap import out there but it looks unlikely...

Cars need to be at least 15 years old before you can import them (except if you still have an other address in the world and the car's license is from this place)

Well hello!
I was in Quebec area for a fortnight last September, and didn't see a SINGLE MR2 - are they quite rare out there?

Lovely looking example.

yeah they are pretty rare...well right now you can see more of them because of all those JDM imported garbages but...

for sure there is less mr2 here then in europe, in canada, I don't think they sold more then 50 000 mr2 in 3 years in the entire country (just to give an example, France is 6 times smaller then Quebec and Quebec is only a little part of the canada (maybe 6 or 7 times bigger) so you don't see a lot of them... especially if it's raining lol
