Hey guys, I'm buying my uncles '95 850 Turbo. I've got a few questions about importing cars from the US to Canada. I not sure how many of you have done this, but I need to know what's involved. What are the taxes and fees like? What do I need to change in terms of clusters? I know I have to change to DRL (daytime running lights) and I need to change the speedo to km instead of miles. Does the dealer sell a plate with the correct conversion or do I need to change the entire cluster? Can I keep the same "miles" odometer? Also, do I need to change the boost gauges as well? PSI => KG/Scm. How do I change to daytime running lights?

Ok, now on to the performance stuff. I use to drive a '94 BMW 3 series which I raced at the track, it had a lot of suspension work done and I got it down to around 2500lbs. I don't expect a FWD car to handle as well, especially for it's size and weight. I never leave my cars stock, so I want to know how the 850 wagon handles with upgraded sway bars and lowered stiffer suspension. I'm thinking of going with H&R and Bilstein with 17" rims. Are these cars trackable? Also, do the headlights have projectors? What are the bulb sockets?

As for exterior, I want the 850R front bumper with the CF BTCC front lip, are these difficult to come by? Any aftermarket stuff?

Also, the AC is dead, how much will a compressor run me? Any suggestions on places to get them?

Last question (promise). I know the 850 Turbo and T5 have 222 HP. Can I get the 240HP from the T5R just from changing the computer to motronic 4.4? What are the major differences between the T5 and the T5R? Did they up the boost?

Thanks for your help!
