Hi everyone,
From Melbourne, Just a hello to all after registering at 4G tuner. I'm about to buy an evo 8 from japan that should arrive in 6 weeks?
I did buy an evo 7 not long ago but found so much rust that I had to return it to the dealer, luckily he took it back, but i did lose on stamp duty + lots of time and the hassle of unregistering, insurance etc. I have been looking at a lot of evo 7 for sale lately, and they do have rust all over them, at least the ones I have inspected so far
Anyways, decided to import a modified evo 8 from japan auctions and will be taking all good info from this forum and meet you at the Melbourne events hopefully.

Alot of later model Japanese imports get rust on the underside.
Due to Japan's weather and climate.
Due to the fact that importers get cheaper cars from areas with salted roads in winter!
welcome!
