Ah...run a search for info on Evolution Imports.

Note that there are still no new Mitsubishis eligible for import.

also this is on their auction

Pricing includes shipping to the US, Left hand drive conversion, being brought up to full US complience, and reprogramming the factory engine control unit to maximize the engines output for the fuel type in your area. The left hand drive conversion is a must for all US clients, the vehicle is given a new left hand drive Evo VIII Jspec Dash, new Jspec VIII Steering column, New Jspec Rack and Pinion, new carpet, new power window controls, new MPH Guages. This Evolution VIII comes with a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty.

but i agree with hobie

If that's all in the contract it's great. They're obligated to legalize it for you. But if the the NHTSA isn't convinced...I dunno what boat you'd be in there. I don't mean to say EI is disreputable or anything. I don't pretend to know their business or what's going on, but I do know that NO Evolution is legal in the US aside from the '03 US Spec Evo 8. Anything else daily driven on the streets either involved flat out fraud, VIN swapping or some creative paperwork (which I guess is fraud too).

I bet they will try to pass it off as a regular U.S. spec EVO... That's one way to finegle the deal..

That ebay account says.....Member since: Monday, Oct 28, 2002 Location: United States

I don't even think that is the same ebay account they used in the past is it???? Notice they have zero feedback (0).

EI is total bull****! Have any of the Evo VII owners gotten theirs cars back legal yet? (The answer is no).

Now they claim they are going to swap a RHD to LHD. I would love to see that operation............. seriously.... that would be great.... You just cut the steering wheel off the right side and glue it on the left... that is all there is to it....

1980 Lancer...... maybe they put the wrong pictures in there and they will be delivering a real 1980 Lancer (remember they actually did make those).

I am skeptical about the company as well. They had to put 1980 for some VIN # reason.
