Importing a Delica

Post by zlutej »

And take 2 :)
So I'm new to this forum, so be patient as I figure this out. I have imported approximately 15 cars from Jpn and two from US. Now I'm thinking of importing a Delica :M , or Land Cruiser (Defender in a year or two). I have several questions so please feel to comment on one or all or any other tit-bids I should know or find interesting. Should I get standard or auto transmission? My pref is standard but from my importing experience (Subaru), if you buy a standard transmission then with in short time you'll need to get the clutch changed. Which brings me to my next point, how hard is it to get new clutch or other parts (in Edmonton) for Delicas? Does anyone know a good Delica mechanic in Edmonton thats reasonably priced and wants to do work under the table? Which model, or diesel engine is the best? Is it the 2.5 or the 2.8 L? Do the heads crack on them like they do on the Hilux 2.4 diesels? What is the top speed that can be maintained for long distances?
Thank for reading...
