I just wanted someone who could confirm the compatibility of the parts.
Their motors stock only are rated at around 210 or so while ours are 260 up I think.
DO you know if the 2G down pipe will fit. I mainly want to do simple mods and that seems like a good place to start.

Evo 1-3 = look for parts from DSM bin.
As for exhaust - I have no idea. Is the piping shaped for the mirage or DSM? More likely a 4g mirage.
BTW: what year is your Evo 2? It might fall in the 3g mirage category.

That is just what I have heard.
I would go to the nhsta website and find the paragraph where it talks about this very issue, but I am too lazy and don't really care what you think.
This issue came up several times with the skyline import early on because people tried to use this very clause to comparing the skyline to the 240 and 300z.

check this Miragevolution out. This is a Mirage with a right hand drive conversion and Evo motor and AWD drivetrain.

but can't see to find the time and efford it would take to do a complete conversion why could't the owner of that car just imported an Evo??? it would of probably been a bid easier and more precise than the conversion (maybe)??

nice cars, nice cars.
I'd love to test drive an evo3 RS, out of all the evo's it seems like that would be the one that fits my spartan loving tastes the best.
I would like IM you and ask what you have done to get them here but do to the fact that I'm still just a poor college student it would be a waste of your time. However I am curious on how how you would compare your evo's(1,2 or 3) compared to the newer ones. Only vehicle I have drivin that could even be remotely comparable to them is an AWD first gen DSM.
Also, what likely hood is there of getting say an Evo3 RS in LHD?

You're too lazy to prove the BS that you heard secondhand. I guess all of us will wait here with bated breath until you find the time.
The keyword is tried. Bringing over a totally different car and trying to classify it as something else that isn't even similar is illegal. That's the man reason Motorex is shut down and the only cars currently legal right now are R33's because thats the only one they actually crashed. U.S cars meet US regulations and that's it. JDM cars do not unless proven so. R33's were proven as such, nothing else was.

Under the contract, the RI will modify the vehicle and certify that it conforms to all applicable FMVSS. Before an RI can modify a vehicle, NHTSA must have determined that the vehicle is eligible for importation based on its capability of being modified to conform to all applicable FMVSS. If no determination has been made, the RI must petition NHTSA to determine whether the vehicle is eligible for importation. If the petitioned vehicle is not similar to one sold in the U.S., this process can become very complex and costly. A list of vehicles that have been determined eligible for importation can be found on NHTSA’s web site at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import.
More can be found here: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/...t01092006.html
Now, go ahead and dissect that one, and I will find some more information for you after you reply with all the sarcasm you can gather up.
The process is not black and white, and can be left up to interpretation, but I think with a vehicle that does conform to all U.S. standards (VIII) can be used to for comparison to something like maybe an EVO VI or above, I don't know for sure but, if someone wants it bad enough they have options.
