As some of you know, I have been in the throws of organising a new car in the past couple of weeks after selling my last Evo back in February.

After much tooing and frowing and 11th hour changes by the bank, I now have it.

The car is very well known in the Evo circles and was owned by the main supplier of modified parts to the community, Ryan from Just JDM. If anyone wants Japanese parts even for Skylines, I can highly recommend him.

Big thanks must go to my g/f for flying up to Sydney with her dad yesterday to drive it back for me. 7am flight and 10pm arrival back from Newcastle was a long day. Also thanks to Ryan for jumping through all the hoops the bank threw at him to ensure I got it yesterday as I go O/S tomorrow so had no time spare.

Few pics courtesy of Ryan as I havent had chance to take any yet:

Thanks all - I havent even driven it yet, in bed crook today and it arrived last night, talk about injustice. :(

Snows - It looks a lot like Blaise's definately. 34, still a little out of my reach for maximum enjoyment I felt. I could afford a stockish one but wouldnt have had much left for mods or if it broke. This with all the trickery was still a lot less than a stock nice 34.

A fair bit of coin in mods on it, the list is longer than an A4 page...

maybe I should keep the spec sheet under wraps.... :(

Nah it isnt an FQ400, just all badges, plates and mods to be a near replica to one. Think there is only one in Oz and thats in Perth, am not sure on the import regs for them or if they can only be used for competition.

I think you can use the EVO 8 here for road use?

Don't think Mitsubishi AUS sold a lot..?

Gota check that SEVS law or whatever.
