I just bought a jdm 2001 evo VII. I was wondering if anyone knew the differences between them and evo VIII? can i use the same parts? exhaust parts? anything i should know?
thank you for any imput
tim

 

shoulda done research before you bought it....

something you should know... " Do research on wut you are buying before saying ' Hey the steering wheel is on the other side maybe people will think im cool' "


Evo 7 and Evo 8 are the same car....

 

EVO 7 and EVO 8 are not the same car. they are basically the same but still there are difference. evo 7 was never introduced in US therefore all evo 7 are JDM or EURO spec. evo 7 has ACD AYC, anti-Lag port, exterior styling is different, and my favorite, Jdm evo use titanium turbine. But as far as the parts concern, they should all be interchangable.

 

being that he doesnt even know wut type of car he has.. why bother mentioning ayc and acd...

 

WOW that is jumping to conclusions..........
I am very aware of the car that i have..... and ayc and acd
I was just looking for information on the differences, I may be a noob to evos but not a noob to turbo sedans
thank you to those who did give great information

 

this doesnt make any sense............... but thanks for being a jerk anyway

 

you are lucky i wish my 8 was a 7. i'm gonna do a hood and bumper swap sometime to at least get the look.

 

Post pix! Everybody here will like you more if you got pictures to show. Oh, and at night time the Evo likes to change into a robot like thing like in the Transformers

 

Wanna sell me your front bumper when you swap?

 

first thing you do with a 7 is buy a carbon fiber hood. Then send me your stock one.

 

is that the black evo vii that was for sale here on the boards that you bought? post pics when you can! i think those jdm evo vii's are better on quite a few areas compared to the usdm evo viii's, being that they have ayc/acd, etc. welcome to the boards!

 

No I didnt know there was a black one for sale. This one is stock besides a catback, and has 53k km on it. Thank you all for all of the info. I was having trouble finding information on it. Does any one know of a way to run a japanese vin through like a vin check system? I have been searching and am having trouble finding one.

 

He knows what kind of car it is man. Don't be a dick. He just wanted to know if the same parts would work that the 8 uses.

 

Wow, that's a clean car. Congrats!

 

Damn awesome car man...where'd u get the car?
