Can we find any 2.3L hatches here in Canada or was this option only in states?

not worth importing it..

i imported because i bought my focus in califronia and owned at least 5 years and done lots of stuff to it, so i take a hard way to bring it to canada..

thanks god that i didn't have to pay for custom/duty$$$ because i am a returning resident..

if you really want, get used focus hatch and do swap..

It's cake... super-easy to do. It's the same crash standards, and that's all that matters. The ZX3 from those years was obviously available here in Canada with no modifications (save for DRLs) to the CDN-spec models, so find one and drive it over. Done deal.

The powertrain doesn't matter.
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

http://www.riv.ca says it all...

Simply put..

Buy car.
Put trip permit on.
Drive to border.
Pay GST and RIV fee.
Drive home.
Get certified at Canadian Tire to meet Ontario specs.
License and pay PST.
Drive and have fun with a faster Focus. :)
