EVO I GSR questions.
Hey guys, theres alot of things I'm having problems finding.
First of all, I live in Canada land, wich means the only version of evo available is... there is non damnit!
first evo I (1992) will be available by overseas or buying US version on the 1st of january 2007.
my question is, is their any good EVO I with sane prices still available in the US? Is their a difference between the Jap version and US version. I want RHD, is it available in US? I know if I get it shipped from jap, its gonna cost me about 15-20grand, but if thats the case and its better that i buy it over seas I will. Anyone have any input on my few questions. and what do you think of getting the EVO 1, is it worth it? keep in mind we cant get anything else and if the EVO X makes it by mid 2k7, it will be completly out of my price range.
Thanks ;D

Cars older than 15 years are import-able? Correct me if i'm wrong, but in that case, get an R32 Skyline :P
For more pre Evo8 info, check the UK and Aussie boards, they grey market all versions of the Evo.

the 15year rule applies to canada, if they are deemed unsafe by the canadian safety, after 15years your allowed to import them. Plus, skyline comes with 280HP, the EVO I is not far at 248. so m'eh. damn I thought it sucked here because we had to wait 15years, but you guys dont even have that rule

I used to own an Evo 5 RS original LHD before transfering to a 6 RS then into a 7 RS2. I got the 5 directly from japan and is a completely original LHD car to be exported to other lhd asian countries including philippines. based on experience and talks with other owners of older gen Evos like the 3, you can get one for US$7,500.00. though they spent another $$$ to bring it back to rally shape. your best shot is to get an Evo 5 from Japan, but get the RS model. There are only 5000 units of the Evo 5 RS built worldwide so it would be quite a gamble. Try going to some of the Philippines automotive forums like kotse.com, autoindustriya.com or motorista.com. Some forumers there are selling Evo 5s. so just ask around.

Not only will yo have an Evo, but you will have one of the meanest looking and most limited Evo ever.
Some quick facts about it:
1. Winner of both manufacturers and drivers champion in 1998 WRC.
2. Very limited. 5000 units of the 5 RS built WORLDWIDE.
3. Built in a special factory and not together with the regular production line.
4. One of the meanest looking and lightest model ever built.
you may be wondering why i sold mine? well i thought the VI and the VII would be worth it but now, im quite regretting it. oh well, thats life! Just make sure u get it legalized in canada!
