If you do not want to tune it, you dont have to
Take it to your dealer for oil service and fill gas in.

In England we do not have any BHP restrictions so they quite happly make more powerful ones. Anyway, much like the Skyline, they just claim that it is 279 bhp but it is well over.

Have you hear of the EVO 300FQ? (F**KING QUICK) really that is what it stands for. It is an offcial EVO only for the UK and europien markets and it has 300+ bhp. So there you have it, it is not an Extreme evo and it is official

yes, I know what that is. A standard Evo with a Power Enginnering carbon interior and muffler and air filter. That's a (slightly) tuned Evo by Xtreme Autos. It is not a standard Evo. Standard Evos come from Ralliart, and there is no Ralliart in the UK.

Karl,
I do understand that cars, parts and service cost money, believe me! However, it is unfair to say "not everyone is as well off as you" since you do not know my financial situation and as it is none of your business.
I could say the same about you (after all you bought a car for 36,000 or something and talk about buying suspension fro several thousand USD), so let's not even start that debate.
An Evo that costs 30,000 USD will require that you have at least 40,000 to fit decent suspension exhaust and ECU, service and maintenance and insurance. Not everybody has or can obtain a credit for that amount of money and unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about that.
Most of the problems people on the lancerregister have are due to poor knowledge of their dealers and bad tuning, very rarely to manufacturing problems. They get bolts not tightened correctly, too lean or too rich running ECUs etc etc. In the USA, there are a lot more specialized companies who can build engines and modify turbos and who know what they're doing!

Claudius,

So you better take back what you said about me

Yeah there are some minor mods that need to be done, it's not finalized yet so I can't give you too many details, but i do know that the ECU is gonna be reprogrammed to pass emissions.
Also, the vapor nozzle needs to be added in the fuel tank to meet US standards. Right now if you open up the gas cap, it's wide open in there.
Also the OBDII system needs to be fitted in.
I'm sure there'll be some other tidbits but nothing major at all.

dazz, I posted pics of my Evo in the General Forum. Look for the "One Sweet Car" subject thread.
There's a tiny initial review, but not much, since I ran outta gas after less than 2 miles

I'm not sure about them being the 1st ones but sweet cars nonetheless...here's a white one from the last local autosport show
Might not be the 1st evo imports, but I think they are the 1st that will be fully country-wide street legal. The one shown in your pics is an RS used for rally (can even tell there's a full-on roll cage in there, not to mention the very DISCREET pod light
)
