New...from NEW England.....(usa)

[hosmer]

Hello all, after years or yearning I've finally got myself an Evo 5

Its en-route from Japan now, hopefully see it by the beginning of April.

I've had a few Skylines and a Pulsar GTiR before this, all "gray market" cars in the US (we have very strict importation rules, none of these cars are what they call "federally" legal meaning the gov't could show up and seize the cars if they desired)

-makes owning them very rare, the CP9A will be one of less than 10 known in the country

Anyway I'm hoping to find some people who arent scared of overseas shipping for small stuff as well as finding new info/products for the Evo.

Already have a set of Evo 9 SE seats here as well as a set of GramLights wheels and a few other misc odds and ends

I've had a few USDM Galant VR4's (only available from 91-92 in the US, and they're all numbered) as well as a couple turbo/awd DSM's

One of the Galants:

97 Eclipse GSX

Welcome mate, hope the car is good when you finally get it.

What is with the government seizing cars:disgusted: I thought the USA was the land of the free.

 

[hosmer]

eh, not so much


-unless they're 25+ years old, then its much more "legal"

trying to...for what these cars cost I could buy a US Spec 8 or 9 w/low miles

I like having the oddball though, I've owned 50+ cars to date
