Any builders in Canada?

[sawbladz]

I have been reading threads here for a few days now and I am interested. I want to know if there are any projects currently ongoing in Canada? Just hoping to get some feedback from people who have jumped through the local hoops for registering these cars. Would like to see one and possible ride in one before I go off the deep end into a project.

I'm working with a few leads in Canada right now and I believe we can effectively ship the kits there by complying with Transport Canada's definition of a "starter kit." The Miata-based cars like the Exocet, DBR1, MEVX5 and Mevster should be easy as the kit contents falls under the starter kit definition when we remove the brake pipe/fittings.

This is a good spot to start on TC's site: www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/tp-tp2436-rs200804-menu-685.htm

Factory Five Racing has been importing kits with success for the last 10 years, and you can read a little more about the process on their site: www.factoryfive.com/order-a-kit/international-orders/canada/canadian-import-procedure/

Thanks for the replies. That was very helpful. I am looking at the Miata based Exocet as my kit of choice. The ultimate plan for the car would be an LS1 swap. Looking for a cost effective way to have a track car that I can drive on the street.
