Evo VIII in canada?

Would anyone happen to know when the lancer evolution VIII will come out in canada, if it does?

The EVO 8 is never coming to Canada because the bumpers don't meet safety standards and Mitsubishi doesn't want to spend the money on a redesign for such a small market. The only other option is getting a more expensive STI or to modify a used DSM, lets just hope the EVO 9 comes to Canada.

i saw a Mine's Lancer here in Hawaii.

So whats your point? That has absoluty nothing to do with anything in this thread. :disappoin :loser:

i guess that means that i will have to be getin it from the states. If not, hopefully i can find another lancer evo that will meet canadian standards cause that car is insane!!!!

It is illegal to import the EVO 8 from the US to Canada because of the bumper reasons I stated before. As a matter of fact it is illegal to import any EVO from any country in the world to Canada unless its 15 years or older, I don't think the EVO has even been around for that long.

2 words... AWW CRAP!

So what's your point? The guy asked if the EVO 8 will be sold in Canada and you tell him that you saw a nice one in Hawaii. So what? How does that answer the question, did you expect him to fly to Hawaii buy it off the guy and then leave it there cause he can't import it. :screwy:

Try to answer peoples questions with an informative response.

I know. I heard that the closest we might ever get to a EVO is an OZ Lancer with a turbo on it, if so thats just plain GAY :gay:

lol. i hear you bro. I dont like that OZ lancer, nor the ralliart. I dont find them as appealing as the EVO. Just dont feel rite ! Wut u think bout the WRX STI? Rather that then the EVO? i no this isnt the rite category, but an answer would be appreciated!

yeah it sucks that we cant import any REAL mitsubishi cars into canada :( argh i mean seriously who buys the OZ lancer and ralliart versions ? they have like little to no power and look like small toys fit for children than a real car :( sadly there is no way to change regulations :( what we need are politicians in the legislature here that care about cars ! and not those environmentalist car ppl who ask for more emissions regulations !

LOL! u no something, when one gives this topic some thought, of course no one cares bout the cars let alone the country. Do u see who runs canada? Dude, first off, the guy who runs the country smiles crooked, he is fucked up, the leader for the party quebecois was missing a leg ( bouchard for those who dont no ) I wonder y cars arent an issue. Canada sux ballz, we have a chocolate army on top of it. We want cars, not rules. USA will always dominate the automotive market.

Im still proud of the beaver!

Its almost like they don't want us to have any fun in Canada. The US gets all the cool cars and they get them many months before we do. The can even import Skylines (although they cost an arm and a leg).

The Canadian car laws are so stupid, the govenment says that we can't import cars from other counties because they don't conform to Canadas safety or emissions standards, but what if the cars surpass the standards why can't we import those ones.

Even more stupid is that if the car is older than 15 years we can import it, but i can guarantee that a 15 year old car will be nowhere near as safe or emissions friendly as a newer car :screwy:

As far as the STI goes I have heard it can develop serious detonation problems if you try to mod it, but I'm sure there is a way to take care of that. Otherwise it sounds kickass, tons of grip and tons of power what more could you want?(perhaps a lower price :biggrin: )

If mitsubishi dosen't offer something cool soon I'll end up sellin the DSM for a WRX or STI. Maybe even a SRT-4, fully loaded for $27 000 compared to a base WRX for $35 000 how can you go wrong. :naughty:

all ur points are good ones and i will have to agree with 100% of wat u sed. The sti is a kick ass car, my cousin just bought it and rips n e one who messes with him. He does have some mods done to it, but nothing tremendous. The way that car sounds just sends shivers down my spine. It is soo soothing ( dont want to sound gay )

If the evo dont come or cant be imported, i no where im turning to...SUBARU. lol, im a poet and i didnt even no it. haha, there again!
I love rally cars for multiple reasons. 1 being i love the sport and 2 being cause the cars are just soo well designed. From the size, engine to their aerodynamic aspect, sub's are great. I still love the evo , dont get me wrong, its just that i cant get wat i want !

Bahahahaha...Canada...

It is NOT illegal to import the EVO to Canada. If you want the full details on how it's done - go to the Lancer Evolution forums and go to the international section and pick Canada - they tell you all about the paperwork etc. that you need.

The OZ and Ralliart look like small toys fit for children and the EVO doesn't? This makes no sense. Side by side (minus badges, spoiler etc.) not many people would be able to tell the two apart - including the interior which is the same.
As for the power - maybe not as fast as the Evo - but not a lot of cars are until you start spending a lot of money. It's got enough power to hold it's own against any car in it's class. If your really power hungry and have the cash for an EVO anyways, just put a turbo on the Ralliart. It's already being done and you can get 250+hp at the wheels - all for $10G less then an EVO.

I hate when people tell me I'm wrong when the don't know what F**K they are talking about.

This link is directly from Transport Canada http://www.riv.ca/english/html/us_vehicle_admissibility.html and it has a list that shows the EVO is inadmissible for import.

The Ralliart is "maybe not as fast as the EVO" try about 100+ hp difference nowhere near as fast as the EVO.

just put a turbo on the Ralliart. It's already being done and you can get 250+hp at the wheels - all for $10G less then an EVO

Putting a turbo on a non-turbo engine just gives you an unreliable over stressed engine that is still not as fast as the EVO, and to properly prepare the engine for high boost levels will cost just as much if not more than actually getting an EVO.

Maybe people tell you that you are wrong because you ARE. I'm not the one who doesn't know what the F**k I'm talking about, as you put it. If you read the information I linked you too, you would see your wrong. There's even an EVO listed in the current Canada auto trader for sale. The EVO is only illegal if you import it 'stock' - with a few modifications, it is perfectly legal - and there are more then a few people who have done it.

Next time - make sure you know what your talking about before you start yapping. Maybe you need to talk to a few people who own legal EVO's in Canada before you start spouting more crap.

As for the engine overstressing etc. part of the Ralliart, I'm not even going to bother trying to explain things to you, you've already shown your ignorance so it's kind of pointless.

BTW, if anyone is seriously looking for an Evolution in Canada and has the bucks but doesn't want the hassle of importing - Wolfe's Mitsubishi in Surrey, BC has one right now - $56,900 http://www.wolfesauto.com/mitsubishi.html
At least Surrey, BC was in Canada the last time I checked LOL.

For someone who thinks thier smart they sure as hell can't read. Tell me where i said that the US EVO could not be made to comply to Canadian safty standards by modifying it.

I said that it is illegal to import, the very fact that it requires modifications to be LEGALLY sold and street LEGAL proves that it was illegal to begin with.

As for the engine overstressing etc. part of the Ralliart, I'm not even going to bother trying to explain things to you, you've already shown your ignorance so it's kind of pointless.

Come on superstar prove me wrong, how do you get big horsepower by putting a turbo on a non-turbo engine without comproimising reliability or spending big bucks.

A non-turbo engine requires more money and more effort to get smaller gains.

just put a turbo on the Ralliart. It's already being done and you can get 250+hp at the wheels - all for $10G less then an EVO

That quote from you proves my point, that is a lot of money to spend an you will still be nowere near the overall performance of the EVO.

An Eclipse GSX or GS-T can pull off 250 hp for less than $3000. That b/c it comes with a turbo and the engine is made to handle boost, a few bolt-ons can get you substantial power gains. Some turbo kits alone cost $3000 not to mention supporting mods like fuel system upgrades etc.

Its must be embarassing to be schooled by someone you think is ignorant. :nutkick:

Will you two stob bitching. The Lancer EVO 8 is in canada, there was a yellow one for sale at the Richmond Automall at the Mitsubishi Dealer, and the North Vancouver dealer has then on order.

So they will make it here. And a few are already here. Expect to pay well over the premium for them tho.

And yes slaping a turbo on to a na car will definitly shorin its lifespan. Even with the external supporting mods it will not last as long as a factory turbo car will.

I know i build cars for a living and have built numorous eclipses which were na to turbo and they do not last.

For someone who thinks thier smart they sure as hell can't read. Tell me where i said that the US EVO could not be made to comply to Canadian safty standards by modifying it.

Sorry, but if you really had a clue what you were talking about, you would have given the answer to this person, instead you only told them it couldn't be done because it was illegal. But thanks for now finally admiting that it can be done.


Come on superstar prove me wrong, how do you get big horsepower by putting a turbo on a non-turbo engine without comproimising reliability or spending big bucks.

Please, show me where I said anything about maintaining reliabilty or not spending big bucks. You can't because I didn't say it. I also agree that it will cost you a lot of money - because that's what I said in the first place. What I did do, was point out an option for people who like the Lancer and want more power now. No kidding your engine will wear out faster - even factory turboed engines will (early 90's Turbo Firefly anyone) But that doesn't mean that it can't be done and it doesn't mean that you can't match the EVO powerwise with a Ralliart and some modifications. If you reread what I said - it was to do work on the Ralliart and have $10,000 left. $55,000 for the EVO-$25,000 for the Ralliart-$10,000 left(as stated in my original post) means you have $20,000 to spend on modifications - you can do a lot with that much money.

And to straighten out your completely misquoting me on regarding reliabilty. I was refereing to the fact that a lot of people who want the EVO and are in that big of a hurry, generally aren't the kind of people looking to get 400,000km out of their engine in the first place. There, is that simple enough for you?

Its must be embarassing to be schooled by someone you think is ignorant. :nutkick:

Schooled me? Please, I finished kindergarden years ago. You can keep right on teaching it if it makes you feel better though - and take your own advice, and try to post something informative next time instead of bashing someone who did. I didn't see you mention anywhere about the possibilty that you can get an EVO to Canada - only that it couldn't and someone who said otherwise didn't know what they were talking about.
