Haha nice, another Aussie! (although I defected to the US, but only because Evo's were cheaper)
Damn, that sucks. Good to hear you got it back and going to fix it up though.
Are Evo's targeted that much in SoCal for theft? Seems like insurance is cheap enough that they aren't. Given it's...
What's the latest model Galant you can get in the US?
A lot of Evo guys in Australia were buying Galant / Legnums from Japan and modifying them with impressive results.
I thought this would never happen, but they've had it for over a month now I think. I went to pull in one day and found it all closed while they were working on the tanks, if only they had this 3...
It's Rexpeed as well.
I had a friend who made an Evo VI from a Lancer (Mirage) sedan and he had to swap in the rear trunk floor from an Evo to mount all the rear drivetrain. How did you source (or fabricate) that in the...
I'm in Orange County, came for work but stayed cause Evo's are much cheaper here! (just kidding, met my wife here).
jaime8754 - Just look at the indents on the left and right sides, they aren't recessed enough. Get a cheap chisel and scrape them out a bit and then you should find it fits really well (like mine).

Any reason why Royal Purple isn't popular in the US? Everyone used to run it in their Evo's in Australia after some magazine did a wear test on it and it had the least wear after repeated abuse by...
Yeah, I'd heard this before and it's true. Same thing when people post up if they can buy staggered size rims from Nissan guys or if it matters if they fit different sidewall heights. Narrower tire...
Had the same issue with the MXP 3", not on u-turns but on small slow speed bumps also. I had Muellerized fix it up with a hammer. I'd re-adjusted it several times myself but as soon as I would tripod...
Nice thread idea.
My favorite Evo when I lived in Australia, Evo VI GSR with an Extreme / Zero Fighter body kit, I miss that thing!

I heard about it from an Aussie forum I was on all the time when I lived in Australia, evolutionoz.net
Damn, 15k on an 05!
32k on an 06 is the same as me right now and I thought that was pretty damn rare. I'm curious to know nicklulu what you felt moving to the X, would you go back?
Haha, nice thread!
1 - Why did you get the Evo?
Always loved watching Tommi Makinen in the WRC, wanted one ever since
2 - What was your first car?
Lancer coupe (mirage)
3 - And how did...
I took mine to South Coast, had to wait over a month for the appointment though. I took my gauges out before giving it to them, and my stereo is in the bottom cubby so no issues there. Dash went back...
Wow, maybe I won't even think about bringing my VI to the US. If you google Evo VI Zero Fighter you will see Japan released a limited edition with this name, came with a different front lip and side...
Haha yeah, technically the US is up, good old down under!
I'll look into the rules once I've settled in, but I've owned my VI for about 4 years now so if it's time based I'm sure it's not a...
Again thanks guys, my VI hasn't been without help from the US!
We can't get Dunlop star specs for $200 in Aus, more like $400+ so I imported these from tire rack:
...
Nice thread, I love your dedication to the VI!
Have you tried Japan's Yahoo auctions? I would think it would be cheaper than trying to find the parts from the UK. There are a lot of CP9A parts...
Thanks guys. I really do love my VI and I think it will always be my favourite Evo model, but it's just not worth bringing it to the US at this stage. Perhaps in a year or two if I know I'll be in...
You have PM
Yeah I love the VI, it was the last proper homologated Evo, it's lighter and it's all bolt on aggresive. But I like the CT9A's too!
Thanks for the heads up on the silver SE...
Thanks guys!
I'm from Sydney, but was born in Brisbane. Haha, reading the intro with an Aussie accent. That's funny cause when I read that I pictured an American reading it trying to be Australian...
