hey guys, I'm new here. I'm more of a Toyota guy then a DSMer but I was looking at a Evo1 and thought I'd search for some more info on it.

I own a '92 JDM GT-four RC, if any of you are into wrc then I'm sure you know what it is.


I also have the US version All-trac.

I was looking at getting an Evo1 and was trying to find out what they are worth, what's unique about 'em and how rare are they in the states?

thanks in advance.

the evo 8 and up are the only u.s. spec evos available in the u.s. if you want to get an evo 1 it's gonna be hard but doable..you just gotta do a lot of paper work to get 'em here to the u.s. from japan or somewhere else.

 

I have already located an Evo 1 in the United States.

I've delt with importing before, my GT-four is a J-spec model where none were brought to the states either.

 

Nice GT4 now that is a rare car.

 

Evo 1 value is 8-20k depending on condition.

 

Thanks, it's my pride and joy.

thank you. I was also looking at an Evo 5, I like it a lot more but it doesn't seem to have the same rally pedigree that the Evo 1 does. How much is a Evo 5 worth that's not registered though has all import paper work, bill of landing, export certificate, etc.

 

So do you go through in reverse in the drive thru line?

 

no, I just have to lean over real far and try not to get too close to the window. The car has electronically retractable mirriors so that helps

 

[QUOTE=maxaud;4703785]thank you. I was also looking at an Evo 5, I like it a lot more but it doesn't seem to have the same rally pedigree that the Evo 1 does.QUOTE]

Why do you say that? Have you driven Evo I through IX? I've driven EvoI, II, IV, VIII and IX. In my opinion, IX is the fastest on tarmac. I through III were lighter, but I'd definitely go with III if I pick from the first body style. My personal favorite was IV, for I felt like it was the first Evo I have ever driven.

 

I love the EvoV more then the EvoI due to styling but I like cars with a strong history in rally/wrc (like my GT-four pictured above) so if the EvoV is a 5000 homologation car with wrc wins I'd opt for it over the EvoI which is a wrc homologation car with 5000 made and numerous wrc wins.

 

just go to rallys/checkers....

 

well there is always the VI TME if your looking for WRC pedigree...

 

That's your reason for getting EVO I? Then I'd get Lancia Delta if I were you.

 

evolution 1 rocks.

 

Had My Evo I for almost a year now
Only put about 2000KM on it
Its an amazing car
