Yeah, I can feel your pain.

Bought a VII GSR from Japan about 10 weeks ago, waited for the shipping until last week when they damaged the bumper while loading it on the ship. They decided to miss the ship and repair the damage. I would have repaired it myself in 1-2 hours Now I have to wait for the repair and for the next ship.

Can I swap rear bumpers with you? lol

Oh, and that rear badging of the "VII" doesn't look legit.

 

I think i speak for everyone on this forum when i say that we all fell your pain. Since most of us wanted an evo (and more than likely for a VERY long time before we bought one) we all get addicted and connected to our EVO. So leaving it in the hands of someone else for any amount of time is a PAIN! When i had my clutch and flywheel replaced (be prepared for that bro) it was in the shop for two weeks! I tell ya after driving an EVO, everything feels like driving a lawn mower! lol But anywho trust us- the wait will be totally worth it!

 

No.

And why doesn´t it look legit? Never paid too much attention to it and now checked over 20 JDM VII´s and the badging looked all the same.

 

Well I got a call today saying that everything is good and the car should arive on the 28th.

So let the modding begin! lol

 

Don't worry the wait will be worth it.

 

patient my grasshopper...man i was over in Korea for a YEAR!!! without my Evo...i don wanna hear it...well, i'm back now and driving it while i'm typing this post...LOL j/k folks...dont drive and type...good luck man

 

Yeah but you had one before lol...Iv been waiting since 2003 to buy an Evo, longer if you count before they come to the US and now that Im so close its almost unbearable.

As I sit hear looking at the parts I already have for it!

 

Try not having it for 6 months! My car broke on December 29, I fixed it, took it to Buschur and the timing belt let go on the dyno! Now after being up there for 7 weeks, I should be getting her back at the beginning of next week! Now I dont want to hear you complaning about gas! I have been driving a Yukon XL for those 6 months at $3.50+ and havent had a fill-up come in at less than $75! My last one was $105! So just be patient and when you get it, have fun!

 

You got your EVO,but I still gotta find mine...

 

try a month and a half...

 

ITS HERE!!!!!

lol THey called me, cant pick it up till tomorrow night since it has to go thru inspections and what not.

But thats all good cause I gotta go get my GTI demodded before I trade it in anyways. But BHR (My tuner for my GTI) had to order a few gaskets and stuff so hopefully they get/got them in.

 

It'll be worth the wait.

 

hang in there

 

Good Luck and post some more pics when you get it.
