Last night I was at my buddies place in Edgemont, and I'm on his driveway, while were fixing his vehicle * Pontiac Fiero!*

Anyways up comes a Lancer Evolution!! It pulled into the house next to him and I'm saying outloud, omg.. is that an evo! my friend is like huh?? So an older british guy gets out of the vehicle with his wife and I say to him is that an evo, sure enough he said it was!!.

I asked the guy how he got it here, he told me everything I already knew, however he explained in defined detail about the loop hole that canadians had with these vehicles the first month or so they were in production, A dealership in Quebec or someplace like that brought in about 7 vehicles during this time, and he purchased the vehicle from them.

There are only 2 lancer evo's in calgary!! Such a RARE spot!! Amazing car if you ever see it in person.

I got Tons of pics!! However He has to email me them still so I'll have them up later tonight or tomrrow!!

[M_K_3]

[dave101]

very nice. I just cant believe how you guys are reacting to this! ha i see maybe 3 or 4 a week?? some guy owns 2 yellow ones actually. if you guys want pics i can probably snag some when i get my camera....

[CrvenaZvezda]

Im pretty sure the other one is white and it has the high rise spoiler he lives up in springbank, but yeah Ive seen this one before I think this one was also in World of Wheel!!!

Nice Spot Man!!!

[swiftcrx]

dammm that is so sexy

[00CivicSi]

There's actually 12 that popped through in Canada. 12 where shipped to canada before the regulation changed. I followed this one on crowchild trail. I missed my turn off following it in awe!! :drool: :drool:

We don't have them here, well we do, not many, so how about you stfu and let them get all jizzy over themselves about it? Thanks for coming out!

[M_K_3]

i seen this one i cant remember where though

[Akagi]

Yes there very rare here, thus why we like them so much!.
First I thought you were ful of urself and you didn't know what you were talking about.. then I noticed you lived in the states.

anyways Thanks for the compliments guys! I heard about the guy who lives in springbank I havnt seen it I don't believe.

I could get pictures of the fiero if you really wantd.. He picked it up and has pretty much rebuilt the entire car. Suspension, breaks, interior, paint. Now hes rebuilding the engine so its really going to be a nice ride.!

he might even swap for a v8!! its been a project he has been working on for quite a while now!.

Ayways Maybe I can post pics of the other vehicle if I ever see it, anybody up for a springbank evo spotting expedition!!
I'm down hahah jk jk, however maybe one of these days I'll get a glimpse of er!

[heavyD]

I can't believe we can't get them in Canada.:cry:

the front bumper/FMIC assy does not pass crash testing. And costs a certain amount to repair. That "x" dollar value goes over what it "should" cost to repair a low speed frontal impact.

[C4S]

Actually .. I saw few of them .. could be the same one .. but saw 2 in same day, in diff locations ?

Those EVO I have seen, they didn't have personal plate .. however, could be one of them just got newe personal plate?

But they are all Silver .. so .. as I said .. it could be just one or 2 of them .. however, saw them so many times .. I don't think just 1 or 2 around.

May be I should try to take a look of the plate .. :D

[voodoo]

i have pics of a white evo on my camera, on macleod and anderson..

with alberta plates. i then saw him at the solo 2 the following wednesday.

I am sure all the ricers will import them in 2018.

It is the same reason we didn't get the first SRT4s, the same reason we didn't get the VW R32, the Toyota MRS, Lotus Elise (until this year), and a bunch of other vehicles.

Canadian bumper laws are much more strict. You can put another bumper on and import it, but you would have to import 2. One for you to drive, the other for the crash test.

[KuruptEX]

sigh y is canada so strict

wait y isnt there any newer supra's and rx-7's? (and if they are
so rare and expensive)

because they don't make them anymore.

[KuruptEX]

cheap compared to rx-7 and supra's

Don't worry about it. There are some real assholes on Beyond. Some should get the ban stick shaken at them...

What are you talking about?

All three of the cars you have mentioned were sold here.

[KuruptEX]

nvm ill juss stop talking im confussing myself now lol

[guessboi]

I love evos. :D

[Eride]

The owner gave me a spin last summer, it was awesome to say the least. He is a rally driver and purchased this Evo as his daily driver, he is a super nice dude. Said he has never recieved so much attention in a car as this one. He told me he had people chasing him on their bikes, running alongside his car, stopping him asking about it, a friend of his purchased the white Evo a couple moths back, it was listed in the auto trader, sold by a some kid in Yorkton Sk.

[Akagi]

Yah the guy seemed Super cool! I was suprized it was an older fellow who owned the car, nice wife to! definately good guys.
I never bothered asking for a ride, I knew he was busy visiting so I didn't bother.

wow this thread went nuts pretty fast.
- for all you out there asking 50 million import questions-
Ohnestly don't worry about how to import illegal cars, or ways around the system ( ie buying two vehicles for crash tests )
unless you trully have the money to do so, you'll just lose sleep over smething so ill important.

There are many amazing cars up here which we can work hard and strive to afford, shoot for those not some illegal cars..

[SC2]

^ This thread is for this awesome sighting and wicked pictures.

That is a truely special car, and your average joe wouldnt know.

They would know a Ferrari or lambo for example, but this, this is a true "average joe sleeper"

[4WARNED]

Ok, time for me to steal some of Jorge's thunder...

I've got the other EVO in town (the white one w/ the bigger spoiler spotted in south Calgary and at the track).....Jorge is a rally buddy of mine and since he wouldn't sell me his, i had to find one for myself...


BOTH of them will be at DTP this Saturday in the CSCC booth....

[dave101]

ahh badass. an evo owner on beyond. Do you have an pics in the member section?

edit: probly not i guess. Theres no mitsubishi section:rolleyes:

[Sacred]

Did anyone manage to get the Evo IX into canada before the laws changed?

[4WARNED]

dave101 - no pics yet......haven't even really had the time to wax the car yet....just been enjoying it (and it leads a fairly pampered life now)......i'll probably snap a bunch when the two EVO's are finally put together on Saturday.....it is funny to see other enthusiast's stare at the car, then do a double take when they realize what it is.....and they laugh when they see my two-year old's car seat in the back...."daddy's EVO" she calls it......

Sacred - no IX's into canada that i know of.....there might be one or two brought in for show purposes only but as Jorge had explained to the spotter, there was a really short window for getting EVO VIII's in legally......(three years ago)....the laws changed in 2003 and the IX was built after that so NO......

Hi Guys,

To answer all the questions: Yes, the Silver EVO VIII is one of only two in AB, Chris has the other one. I live in Scenic Acres and my son does drive the black Golf GTI 16v.

heeeeyyyy, what is this about being an old guy :guns:
..... ok so I am sure I am older than most of you but at last weekend's Rocky Mountain Rally I still kicked lots of young butt with my boat anchor (the Production 3 celica with no torque)

And a Brithis accent!!?? :eek: I think it would be extremely funny if a British guy had an Argentinian flag on its car's trunk lid (see photo)
I am Argentinian, so guess who I am betting to win the World Cup :thumbsup:

Akagi, soory I could not stay and chat more about the EVO, I am a true car enthusiast, particularly Jap and Euro cars but I was already late for a BBq.

See you guys at this weekend show

[Akagi]

First of I must say I love your name!
My name is George also!.

You have a gorgeous vehicle! and I am exited to know it will be at DTP!

no hard feelings about the old thing eh?? I meant to emply your older then us 20 something year old youngins still!.

And I felt horrible when I read what you mensioned about the accent! I was merely mistakened for what it was!.

Anyways thanks for the reply! take care!

this is the fluroescent yellow one that was on TV the other day? it's always at the AB rally's?

[4WARNED]

Yep, that is Jorge's rally car (yellow celica).....it was also at the DTP show in the sports car club rally booth with the other rally cars.......

[SC2]

See that one all the time at the shows, including world of wheels etc.

[wrxer1]

Back when I worked at RCTS, Jorge was nice enough to take me for a ride in the Evo. Took a 10 minute spin and we compared all the differences between his car and my wrx.
Great guy!
