I am planning to put my car on trailer, and then drive it to PA to get tuned.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips/suggestions that could make the border crossing a little less troublesome?

 

Make sure you have your passport AND D.L. or birth cert. I would think you should take the car title with you also. I would take as much documentation as possible so they don't hassle you.

 

dont load the car with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or firearms...

the above mentioned is a good advise though too.

Yea, ditto, I'll take some trembalnt lift tickets and a ride back. Deal?

 

Why drive to PA when there's a very competent tuner in Upstate NY? Get in touch with Synapse Motorsport (http://www.synapseturbo.com)

Just trying to save you a couple hundred miles of towing.

 

I'll be going to Evans Tuning.

I haven't really heard much about Synapse, so I'll probably stick with Evans.


I have my DZ (truck license) so trailering the car isn't an issue, I just want to make sure I won't get any surprises at the border.

Will they bust my nuts if I some spare parts with me?

thanks guys

 

You dont want Tony the Tiger to tune it? Hes good and hes right in your backyard.

Tony the Tiger, or even the person I use at Japanese Automotive in Toronto. Hell, we're in MI, and we send a lot of cars across the border to Toronto ON.

Some good people in your neck of the woods. give them a call first, before going to the border. Since you may be going anyway,

-Canadian Passport a MUST
-Prepare to be inspected. they do it to ALL trailers
-Bluewater bridge is quick way to get to PA through Port Huron MI

-Make sure you have another purpose other than "tuning". Border patrol cats are clueless to what that is.

-Have a google map of instructions on how to get there, as well as a printed copy of Jeff-Evan's website to show patrol. THEY WILL ASK FOR PROOF

Enjoy the wait....

 

anyone have the contact info for tony?
