Head down to your local Mitsu tell them you want a Evo VIII or IX. Put a little picture of a VI in the visor and when ever you want to a VI just pull down the visor and blast away.

Don't even think about looking at Evolution Imports. PM me first if you have been tempted. They owe a lot of people money. Many of which are on this web-site.

Most likely you best bet will be to drive one in a video game. Unless you have loads of money and dont need to drive the car on streets (race only trailer it around). Or do like Old school and join up and move oversees.

You know some of the people on this site have Evo VIIs, maybe 3 or 4. victorbrant.com <-that guy has one (through EI). They can get you your car, it won't be legal though, it will be "legal enough".

I'm pretty sure they only made RHD Evo VIs.

We (Philippines) are selling two used Evo 5 RS2, an Evo 6 RS2 and a Evo 6 TME RS2, all original LHD at low prices. We can sell it to you but I think you have to pass some big tests. Maybe you could ask motorex on how they legalized the Skylines.

Definitely not. My Evo 6 before was an original LHD RS2 model, sold to me by a Mitsubishi dealer here in the Philippines. Got it brand new.

definitely do a search on this topic. It's been discussed before. Evolution Imports are currently doing some kind of importing of their cars as 'parts' then assemble required
There are many on here that drives different versions of Evos V, VI, VIIs but have to either pm them and ask how they do it. I know a mechanic friend of mine imports them but have to cut it in half and then weld it back together.
Rally teams import their rally cars in as parts but then it all depends on how you get it pass inspection

Good luck!

I PMed yout he pics of the cars. Well you do not necesarily have to trade it in. Just sell it there. I think you just need to find a way to legalize the car. Once yo do, message me so I can make necessary arrangements on our end.

For Motorex to import Skylines, they had the give the federales 4 of them to destroy first (for crash testing), so I wouldn't think many people will be shelling out the money for that anytime soon.
