You'll have to look in the UK. The FQ400s were put together by Ralliart UK, with some help from HKS and a few British tuners. All of the FQ400s are probably spoken for already.If that's the case, the owners probably aren't going to get rid of theirs so soon.
Just out of curiosity, why not take your $70k+ and spend it on something else?

go for the MR, there's still a few at dealerships in te US. other wise a GSR with 30K in performance mods would be sick.

Well, considering there were only 100 FQ400s as you said, all of them are probably sold. Where are you going to get one??? Do you think people disliked the car enough to get rid of it after only a couple months? If you're in the US, it will be even harder to get one, since the Euro spec Evos are not compliant with US standards.
And if you're going to spend $70-80k on a car, you can do much better. Even buying a US Evo then modding it would make more sense.

haha that is funny cuz its a '99. and if you think im a poser think again. my lancer is wat my brother drives. its mine but he drives it. my maxima is what i drive and my supra is wat my team uses to street race. the supra has never been driven unless on and off the trailer and for racing. its mine in a way where i bought it and put the aftermarket parts and boltons in but the team bought the parts. i have full owner ship but its the teams car.

besides if it's euro spec evo your gonna have to have it shipped to usa, which aint cheap you could probably buy a sweet turbo for the shipping cost , then it has to go through customs and get approved in customs before you have it

Yeah, buy a turbo for the shipping cost, and buy a used Ferrari, Porsche, or a new Viper for the price of the Evo. I'm wondering if all_player23 missed the part about the FQ400 costing £46k, or anywhere from $75-80k, depending on the exchange rate. With only 100 made, it will be very difficult to find one available.
Even after the car gets here, it won't be legal. You can kiss the warranty goodbye, too. Sure the FQ400 had a warranty, but it was from Mitsubishi UK. Highly doubtful any US dealers would work on a 400hp+ Evo, when they won't even work on one with an aftermarket clutch.

People leave the dude alone. Even if he is a poser, he just asked a question........
Anyways, I dont think your gonna find the FQ400s available. But, get an MR (I think there maken about 1000 of those in the US) and its also very good. If you cant get that then just get a regular Evo, which is also extremly kick ass!

i don't know why he just don't buy an evo and put the rest of the 30-40k into aftermarket , you'd have one beast of an evo and probably more hp then 400??? but that's just my 2cents.

if you have that money, get a new American evo, thats legal, and put all the rest of your availible money into it, that would be an amazing car, not to mention, it would kick the 400's @$$ with no problem, and I think it would turn out a lot more of how you wanted it, well, that is if you would change anything

you can't legally import an Evo 7, you could only use it as a track car.
