Genuine Evo 4? Anyone help?

[BB GoDZilLa]

My mate is looking at buying an Evo4.

Is there anyway we can find out if it's genuine and if it's been legitamately complied for road use in Australia.

All I have is the Engine number, Chassis number and VIN number.

Doesn't have a yellow plate so it's not a personal import.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rumour has it one was jacked up to the appropriate height and imported as an offroad 4WD

Maybe that is how it was done

Anyway if it doesn't have one it is a pretty nice little fine!

It is an offence to supply to the market (ie to sell for use on a public road) a vehicle that does not meet the ADRs, or is not fitted with an identification plate, used import plate or Personal Import plate and such action may attract a penalty of up 120 units per vehicle. A penalty units means A$110 (as at 1/7/03).

maybe check for the compliance plate? if theres no plate then i guess its not a legit import. someone in the forums on here had a friend of a friend who was selling an evo and didnt have a compliance plate, i think it was found to be a mock up evo

once again, i *think* not 100%
