I thought that evos were all 2L and GSRs were 1.8L, plus evos had all the cool gear ie FMIC ,alloy bonnet,body kit .Don't know that they start as early as 90,but could be wrong.

if the car is 15 years old (going by the month of manufacture) then you can import it under the 15 year rule

the rules may be about to change so keep an eye on www.dotars.gov.au

First EVO was built in 1992 so cant be imported under 15yr rule. There are plenty of Galant GSR 4wd's that have been imported under 15yr, they have the same 2l engine, 4wd etc.

They are a bit ugly but good bang for your bucks imo. Probably 6-9k depending on condition K's, mods etc.

only 6s and 7s can be imported under the current raws scheme . Possibly 8s in the future depending on what mitstubishi did/does in terms of local released 8s .

All the 1/2/3/4/5s you see in aus are private imports .

Arkon - He is talking about importing under SEVS not RAWS.

You also can't import 7's yet as the sole business accredited is only complying vehicles to sell at a BS inflated price! They are selling 7's for 52k LMAO, you can import them for 30 and I'm sure compliance is 22k!!
