I know they are in kilometers, and they have running lights, but what else is different about the Canadian versions of the GSR?

 

reason i am asking is cuz i am about to buy a canadian gsr, unless there is something i should know about them...

 

You might want to call your licensing place to find out what the DMV makes you do to get it registered. I think smog & crash stuff is the same, but you might have to get some 'official' statement from Acura saying that your car (by VIN) meets all US laws. You already know about the speedo & DRL; DRL is OK but you might have to buy a speedo face with mph. But unless you used to live in Canada, the DMV isn't gonna make it easy.

edit...
OK, so someone already went thru this BS a couple years ago. I still think the only differences are the speedo face & the DRLs.

Its got a texas title, it was brought over a couple years ago. I was just wondering if there were any mechanical things that were different.

if it was brought over, it should already have a MPH gauge face because that's one of the requirements NHTSA has for legalizing cars from Canada for use/titling/registration here in the US.

 

Mechanical?? I can't see anything different. I live in Canada but own a LS. I don't know of anything different mechanically between the 2. Where I'm from we don't have smog tests or anything like that but I do believe in Ontario they do....which, I'm assuming failing there would be like failing in the states, so it should be the same mechanically.

My gf brought her Lexus ES300 from Vancouver Canada to MO USA and she never had any problem with KM, MPH gauge thing... YES the car is now reg. in the states. just a thought

 

my friend got a 94 gsr from canada, and if say the km and running lights are the only difference. . i never noticed anything else.

 

aside from what have been mentioned above. US GSR have the colour white as a choice hehe.

 

I bought a canadian GSR front clip.
Sill had the k/mh cluster.
AND, Georgia plate and inspection sticker on it.
Not so sure about your statement.
