Lot of hate in your heart?

More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.
-
no, none at all. had they been great, I would have told you so. I don't think your pics are that great. What camera are you shooting with? Are these your pics?
-
Hey all. That's my car. Thanks for all the kind words. I am sooo stoked to get back and see it and finally get too drive it. As far as stock .... well ..... considering I already ordered a lil' somethin for it :yes: and I haven't even seen it in person I don't think that'll happen. I do plan on getting back driving it for a while before starting any super serious mods. I wanna drive it and develop a plan based on the short comings in it I see. I can already tell it needs a couple things too suit me. Plus I don't know how much time I'll have too work on it. I mean shit I've been home what 5 months out of the last 2 years.
Big thanks to Imburne for the pics they're great and I really appreciate you taking the time to do them for me.

You make me feel bad for Mister Scientist. Although that is a super sweet super clean car, our military boys should never pay retail.
Step 1) Buy lightly wrecked 39K mile 540 awhp '05 Evo MR for $10K
Step 2) Fix for $1800
Step 3) Enjoy for the summer
Step 4) Sell for twice what you have in it

JD, did you miss that the "More than you can afford pal, Ferrari." was a F&F quote?
-
No, I did not. ???
-
To each there own I guess. I second Joey's post. I just didn't wanna say it. Id buy a GPS tracking/alarm for it first and foremost.
-
Also, goes with his name of TheMadScientist "Me and the mad scientist gonna have to tear apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried" and dont forget about rewelding the intake manifold back together. lol

Tell them how much you paid Aaron. Take the test of "how much did I get raped" ;)
-
First what's funny is with all the fast and furious quotes going around it's Ironic that this car is actually in and was put together for the new fast and furious movie coming out :P
I paid 15K for it here's the link to the for sale post and a shit ton more pics. I really don't think I got raped. But we'll see what others think.

As far as the name that is precisely where it came from. I have that .... that shit, the ADD. LOL
-
who brought it though? Kaizo?
-
If you look at the link I posted above on that page there is a link to Kaizo and exactley what they do and how that works in detail. Here's an article on the Guy that I bought the car from and how registration and bringing them to the states works in relation to skylines and most any other vehicle.
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=105699 (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=105699)
Cliff notes version:
Kaizo picks the best looking chassis' they can find in Japan. They strip them of the motor and drivetrain. They take the body panels off and interior out. Everything is welded and reinforcements are added to meet DOT standards (door beams moved up, seatbelt mounts reinforced, etc...) Once it meets standrds it's given basically what is a VIN number to the Cahssis. The body panels and interior are reinstalled. Then it is shipped to the states. The EPA and DOT don't care because it's an "automotive component" not a full up car. When it gets here the engine and Transmission are installed and the car is registered as a unibody kit car. This is the same way noble gets it's supercars to the states.
-
I'm well aware of kaizo. In fact I know a few cars that he has brought though. Hes got a real good service, and its 100% legit. I asked because I didnt wanna see a "the govt is trying to get my JDM evo!!!11!!" thread.
-
That's not a bad price. Keep it clean and you'll make a profit off of it, IMO.

Almost a price I don't believe. That's a $6k+ car in Okinawa, a non-TM edition and I never saw a TM edition. I think kaizo is around $8k. I'm sure this guy isnt working for free...they must have gotten a slammin deal on it at the auction.
-

I didn't think it was too bad at all. It's an EVO which is something I have wanted for a long time and this one is really unique for the states. So when I was lookin for an EVO 8 or 9 and came across this one it was a no brainer.
-
in just about a year, decent evos will be legal to import to canada.

Yup I want one but can't justify the coin for a 15 year old car with the steering wheel on the gay side.
-
I want Rachel to get an EVO/Subie and she wants the same. Except its hard to find a 04 for less than 25k that doesnt have a "I was a JDM rallycar for my owner" look.
found some imprezzas for around $15k but anything more was too rich for my blood

active yaw control. i really don't understand it that well. but to have an evo that can't be replicated by swapping a dsm drivetrain into a mirage will be sick.
did you hear about the new mexico importation laws to canada? meaning we can get audi S3s and the new/old beetles.

You can find bugeye wrx in the states for well under 10g.

No i haven't heard about this yet.

i found this on a nova scotia forum
As of Jan. 1st, 2009, according to NAFTA regulations, you can import vehicles 10 years old (and older) into Canada from Mexico. In 2011 it goes down to 8 years, in 2013 down to 6 years, etc., until 2019, when you will be able to legally import a new car from Mexico to Canada.

That is fucking out of control! Get vids if you can.

That car is very nice.

Hopefully be back in May but who knows. You have no idea how badly I want to drive it. Yeah I want to see it.
As far as the bombs, LOL, go it's been pretty quite, only like a call a day, took care of an IED yesterday.
Hopefully I'll be back soon.

I just fear for the car, last dsm sounded like a ported rotary. This was right as I was about to do the vitara setup, so when I heard your motor turn on and all the smoke, I kinda pooped a little.
Any thoughts ???
-

Yeah, too bad they couldn't have done a LHD swap in the process.

Dont let her Buy a POS Subaru :?:

04-05 is the years you want.
02-03 are beat to shit, and 06+ is DBW throttle. STAY AWAY these are nothing but failboat
I really doubt two years makes a difference on whether a car is beat to shit or not, and what exactly is your complaint about the DBW cars aside from some quirks in the ECU/injectors of the '07? That 2.5 is a lot fucking better than the fragile 2.0.
-
So they have a bad pedal sensor assembly, and that is better than a weak engine?
ok
-
Sorry, typo. I meant to say they have a bad pedal sensor assembly and that is worse than a weak engine?

I have been looking around. Figuring she wants to spend 15k Cdn. That is 15k at her house delivered/landed her driving it around

Lol dumb girls have fun with that. There is a silver 05 wagon in Fraser Lake in nice shape with low km's from Victoria for $15k

Once again bro great shots. Should be in town friday. Did you all really get pulled over in MY car before I even get a chance to drive it, HAHA. Good stuff man those shots look great. Thanks for the pics. I got a grip of parts waiting for the car once I back. So you'll be able to get some shots workin on it. Can't wait to get back.
-
Underhood shots pls.
-
Underhood is completly 100% stock at the moment. I'll try and get some pics soon though. Not much too look at.
+1 on the pics under her hood, LOL
-
So this guy finally gets home and we take it out for a drive.. This is the same guy who I felt like was going to kill me in his civic.. Taking the off ramp at high speeds while I am yelling "this ain't a fucking wrx!!".. Well that was a few years ago and your driving technique is still the same.. fast and shitty 8) Really though its good for a thrill every time. Just keep that shit more on your side alright.. when you hear the bumps, its time to get back in your lane nigger.
