laz Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 So I go walk the dog and find this parked at the corner. It looked weird to me, no Brembos, the wheels did not look right. I look closer at it, and it is right hand drive! http://www.deexboy.com/gallery/d/2921-1/2.jpeg http://www.deexboy.com/gallery/d/2923-1/3.jpeg http://www.deexboy.com/gallery/d/2925-1/4.jpeg http://www.deexboy.com/gallery/d/2927-1/5.jpeg What's up with that? Anyone? Is it even legal in NY? X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 probably bought from the car from Canada. Canada has more flexiable importing rules on cars than USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartman Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I id not know that one could register and insure a RHD car in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well, they DID issue it licence plates.. There are ways, and thus the question! X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Those are Evo VIII wheels but otherwise it looks like a real Evo IV. I wonder if it's a real Mine's Evo IV... If so that's a very rare find, espcailly here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 One more post from the dude: to get the car here was 17,750 (boat from nagasaki japan to california)...to get the car regestered was $18,500 (united states legalized) paper work and shipment of titles and other fees added up 1,500 all and all.....im saving the next owner this hassel...as you can see, its alot of work, and alot of time and patience. waited 10 months to drive it. its 1 of the fastest AWD turbo cars you might ever drive in your life, the feeling of a right hand driven car makes you feel like your in another country and when you see so many people looking at you all the time, the money doesnt even make a difference.

Guest heightsgtltd Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 That's insane, it's not worth 35 grand above and beyond the cost of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yes insane, but it is funny that you stand there in front of it and you feel there is something special about it. The car is not in the best of shapes, but just to look at it and notice that there is something different makes it special. When I finally noticed it was RHD I was I even had a dream about it last night! :lol: So who is importing a JDM Spec B wagon??? X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENCOB Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Having spent that much (???) crazy money on it the owner of that car ought not park it there so close to the corner where it can get clipped......imho......peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it isn't a corner in d.c. Here the car behind it would have hit it at least 3 times trying to park and still be parked against it when you get back. Oh and it would have a ticket for being parked on the white line cause the car behind you hit you that far into the intersection. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSaladino Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 i dunno, if i was going to spend the money, i'd probably look for an R32 GTR. but thats just me. that Evo is pretty sexy too tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yeah crazy, that looks like a mines evo. I love the old school evos. Im actually surprised but I havent seen any older gen evos in Canada. We get quite a few R32 skylines but not one evo that ive seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
