My good friend owns evolutionimports, which imports and makes street legal EVOs, and a few others.. Hes based in FL and sometimes gets back home to have some fun (fun was had on the louisville streets, i should have be in jail of that s***) the red one is a used (2400 mile) tommy makinen edition EVO 6.5 (j-spec), and my buddy carson ready for the late night spin.. the other pic is really two EVO 7s, the sliver is new and the black behind it was used, the black one had an exhaust, intake and a $2000 dual plate clutch..OH GOD DAM ARE THESE THINGS FAST!!!! 0 to oh s*** in 4sec..I LOVE MY P5, I LOVE MY 95, I LOVE MY P5, dam i still want an evo...lol

Yes ... overall, it doesn't cost that much to make the car street legal considering all the work and R&D they do/did.

I check that website all the time hehehe .... one day man ... i'll get an EVO 7 from evolutionimports.com and an R34 from skylinegtr.com .... all that is left to do is win the lottery =)

 

[hukster00]

ye hehe dont know about buying them to after they had fun with them

fun was had on the louisville streets

 

[gcotton]

I want one.(free of course)

 

[WRCprotege]

only import them left hand drive if possiable sence most cars are do both.. the cars that are imported are to be driven hard, track days, etc, most dont want right hand drive cause the, "JDM" i have a right hand drive isnt that cool..mail trucks have right hand drive and the only reason its cool now is because you know its a real JDM civic cause you cant it here..but he stays away from JDM idea, these cars you cant get here, so if you have it, its all that, and you can drive the thing without b**** shifting-like throwing left handed. lol i tried it on a nissan pulsar GTI-R he had that was like 380hp and right hand drive, no good, give me the left so i can drive the dam thing.. with that much power things happen fast, your sences are overtaken and you cant tell whats going on, things like the tires slipping,the car being offbalance, reading the road through the streering wheel.. youv got to be on your game to drive these kind of cars, i like to do it where i feel the most at home (the left side)...thats my bit on right handers ill have some video soon of these cars in action

EI is generally regarded as a bunch of con artists by the EVO community, except for a couple hot heads... why don't they actually DO something about their locked up evos? why haven't they delivered a SINGLE EVO to any of their customers as agreed?

gee... because they CAN'T?

I dont know what people are saying but like i said, thers no real way to do this!! make it happen!! and he'll find ways to do so.. you cant forsee these problems (customs) mainly, theres so many import export laws, international shipping laws, etc,one day your told ya sure no problem, the next day your told that they(customs) want to see your shippments and section so&so has a problem, to do this and they check things and go OK nothing wrong, so where like WTF!! two months later something else.. its an import, what can you do, just deal with it,and make it work...

WTF have I ever done? what's that have to do with what they've done? nothing. it's a fallacy. it has absolutely NO bearing on the issue at hand. they're such straight up guys that want to get the evos to the people? then why haven't there been any official responses to these accusations? hmm? no one has ever received an evo 7 from EI imports, DESPITE the ones ALREADY PAID FOR. none have been delivered, and if you follow the company origins as outlined by Senor Info on EVOM.NET, then there are some DEFINATE shady business tactics that prevent the company from being held legally responsible if and when they cannot deliver the evos. people have been waiting years for their cars, and continue to do so. will the evo somehow magically be deemed street legal? HIGHLY FARKING DOUBTFUL. why'd they start advertising that they could deliver, when they COULDN'T? there is no substantial evidence as of yet that they have even come close to delivering. why in the HELL would anyone with a brain think these guys are straight up and that they're trustworthy with our money? NONE.

you sound like a plant trying from EI trying to cash in on the protege community.. since there're a lot of evo fans on this site. and learn how to spell. it's aggravating trying to guess every other word in your post.

Evolution import is a local shop in Orlando and I've never done business with them, but they are getting a bad rep all over the town and internet. I am Not saying not to do business with them. But if you do plan to buy a car with them...be aware. They do offer good prices for there services...its not badly prices at all. Except Im not sure why anyone would want to buy a JDM spec STi. Here is what a local guys said about this place when I mentioned a local shop imported JDM Integra Type Rs.

err.. check em out on evolution.net. while they're not really fraudulent, they have a lot to learn about good business practices. They delivered Evo 7's to customers that hadn't been approved for use on US roads... they also had some LHD Euro Evo's which were sold as JDM Evo's. I also spoke to their guy on the phone... he was NOT nice at all. They need to learn some customer service skills as well.

Note: This guys didnt know that they offered LHD conversion.

DAM, that sucks, ill tell him he need to get his s*** together... guys, hes a good friend of mine, i dont work for him, i went out and bought new P5- not and evo, might say somthing in its self there..I hate to here hes doing bad business on the customer service side, thers no reason for that!! the cars had done some DOT and he was told that he could sell them, as the stuff would go through.. turns out it didnt go through as planed and more money was need to perform the other DOT services, and till that was competed the cars are to be taked of this temp list (no longer street legal)....as anyone would tell you this is bad..so out of the 74 cars sold only 11 remain street legal as of today.. the other cars have competed the DOT requerments and are awaiting to get the final appoval from DOT...here a link to check DOT on the updates for the cars and ther appoval..go to (no www) dms.dot.gov and then go to search and type in this no. 15470-for evo8 and then 16031 for evo7.. the site goes down alot for updates, so if its down, check it later.. that will take care of the cars and problems once and for all, his customer service better get better, it would suck to have gone this far and lose it all because no one wants to deal with you..i wouldnt want to deal with an ass..
