It has nothing to do with the safety rating but the fact it takes damage in a low speed accident. This is because of how the FMIC is mounted. Hell cavaliers and neons are legal here and they have horrible safety ratings.
What if you made an EVO legal to drive in Canada? If the biggest problem is the FMIC couldn't you just figure out a way to top-mount it like on the WRXs and STIs, or is that not the only problem?

Sure if you wanted to prove that what you did made the cars legal meaning crashing a few modified evos. I think this is how Motorex did it, but I'm not entirely sure.

From the sounds of it if someone did that they would have a lot of business. But it probably wouldn't last long.
