Importing US track Car for street use
Guys, I'm considering buying a BGB Racing Porsche Cayman. It's a beautiful build. They have built this particular Cayman up with a full interior so it could be driven to track days.
But there are a few issues. I'm not sure I will be able to license/insure a car in Canada with:
- Original airbag wheel removed and detachable wheel installed
- Race bucket seats with harness (I think they also have the original)
- Full 6 point welded in cage
- Fire Suspension system
Etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

I bet your going to have a hard time getting a heavily modified street turned race car insured for the street. No problem getting theft and fire on it and trailing it to the track though.

It wont pass safety without the proper and less interesting steering wheel to start, unless you find a friendly inspector.
I dont know how you would deal with the cage. If you plan on street driving this a fair bit I would pass on the car because of the cage alone. You dont want to crack your head on a bar getting milk.
And you would need the normal belts reinstalled but the 6pts would probably be okay to leave alongside.
You can probably get it licensed if you go to a friendly place and insured if your company doesnt want to see it.
But those are a lot of ifs!!!
