Ralli-EvoVIII

i'v have seen a Evo V here in Ottawa as well, but it was black, and he had Ontraio plate's too, the only thing i can think of is either a VIN swap or if you notice on the RIV list that it shows 2003 to 2007 Evo's not allowed in Canada, nothing about prior models, so either they found a loop hole in the system or another way of getting them in....not sure

Hey, dont remember if it was rhd or not, never thought to look, they did make the evo 7 in UK, mabe they imported that one? cuz it was 2002... hmmmm.. so many possibilities, next time i c it i'll chase it down n tlk to the guy, thats the only way to solve this..

Maybe it was Manufactured in Japan?
it would seem like a more logical solution for the RHD

Ralli-EvoVIII

anything before 2003 were either sold from Japan or the UK, so yes RHD

OK sold in UK, produced in japan, sry for not being super technical.. everyone just keep eyes open it'll show up again

i think ive seen this samewhite evo IX MR at the Richmond hill Silver city a couple of months ago, it had new york plates on then.

that's not what I was implying. I was implying that it was most likely an inport directly from Japan, not from the UK, as there are a bunch of companies in Japan specializing in exporting of Japanese vehicles that are unavailable else where, such as Evo's, Skylines/Silvia's, 3000GT's and the like.

There is a 3000GT in Brantford, an absolutely gorgeous car, guy paid dearly to have it imported though. (and no it is not just a re badged stealth)

and yes I am sure with a lot of people from here and MCCC looking for him, we will find him soon enough.

the vin replacement is a bad idea, most customs officals are educated about cars that they are waiving in.. anyone remember the dude that tried to import the 99 skyline gtr last summer? Yeah he replaced the vin with a vin from 89 skyline gtr.. anyways customs found out, held every car that was being imported for two weeks to make sure no one else was doing it, that dudes car ended up getting torn up (to verify what it actually was) and the parts/shell were sent back to japan..

If I had to watch that I would be in the fetal postition rocking back and forth crying!!! *tear*
