I talked with a guy that prepares EVO's for pro rally's not too long ago. He said that he likes to see that we're finally getting the EVO's, but mentioned that a lot of the cool parts are still omitted. Because of this, he still imports the Asian EVO's and converts them to left hand drive. He said it's easier to do that than fit the goodies that the US spec EVO doesn't have.

I can't wait to see what the new Nissan GT-R is going to be like. We should get it rebadged as an Infiniti because it's based off of the Infiniti G35/Nissan Skyline (Japan model).

Upgrade parts aren't hard to get for the Evo's at all. Check out Buschur Racing.

Not bad for a 4-banger ricer with a few mods.
