while browsing evooz I came across this regarding the RS-2 discussion 3 pages back


EVO6_RS_brochure.jpg
 
Great find! Did you notice that they have a LHD and RHD RS?

I called the guy with the blue 2 on Gumtree. Reckons "it has a compliance plate". But could not confirm what this was when I asked. Said he would check last night and get back to me.

Furthermore he said he bought it "off a lebbo", "probably needs a timing belt, even though its only got 127k kms", and "had the roof rust repaired". So it sounds a lot like the one that was sold in Melbourne.
 
Does the Aus spec TME have the pillar mounted aerial or the boot mounted one? If it was on the A-pillar, it would confirm RS2 as they don't have climate control?

I am purely speculating that this EVO2 was sold by a member off this forum who very clearly stated the car could not be registered in this country and that the engine was damaged due to a timing belt slip. I am then speculating that it was purchased by somebody in NSW who installed the engine from a (let's take a wild guess) smashed white EVO3 RS and who told me (on the phone!) that "I've got a blue GSR that I'm going to transfer the VIN from to this - all the old rally guys used to do it - so it's OK".

This car would be a trap for anybody who purchased it - esp for that asking price. You'd be stuck with something you could not legally drive on the roads.

Yes trick for young players. You're right in that someone could be seriously out of pocket should the RTA find out. I think they're relying on that though.

Yep, ADM TME is pillar mounted and no digital climate control, JDM TME GSR antenna is in the rear window.
