Evolution Imports

[nitrous36]

How many illegal imports do they bring in every year? How do they do it? I heard they import the cars in parts, reassemble them and register them as kit cars. What are they doing and have they ever been caught?

who says its registered as a kit car?
instead of assuming why dont you call them

[<SSR>David]

I did email them and they said the same thing. If you want to read the Email PM Me I will gladly send it over.

Sorry man. No wonder you were defensive about it. I didnt know you did the title work. I called them the other day asking about a 92 toyota Mark II Tourer V. We talked for 10 minutes. The guy made it clear that they title the cars, not register them as kit cars.

so you work at evolution imports??? I was interested in their website but so many people here said that it looked like a scam thats why I emailed them. Now I am really confused, haha =D What which one is it, is evolution imports a scam or are they for reals?

[nitrous36]

Man I suspected that. But I brong it here when I wasnt getting any replies at freshalloy. It seemed like a coincident to get the same answer in two different places. And you're also the guy I talked to about the Chaser? You dont get my situation. I want a Mark II bad, but I want it legitly. I want to be able to own it legally without the concern of the law confiscating the car. And the only legit way is the 25 year rule, but I dont want to wait that long and who does. Finding the car you want and the condition of it is a big issue when its 25 years or older. Canada is the soonest way to get it (heres where I wish I knew someone in Canada). What do I do man? Importing a car and storing it there is the only way I can think of getting a car while its still available and in decent shape lgeally without the government sticking their foot up your ass about it. Are there any better plans?

People say that because they use a P.O. Box with no physical address and thet are not on the NHTSA list of registered importers. And some people here claimed to have stories of people getting ripped off by them. I dont know if they are true though.

A R.I imports full running cars to make or try to make US compliant.we work in teh same way 1G racing imports there Nobles.

our base of operations is in holly hills ,Fl, we are based with projekt 7 tuning i holly hills. Like 15 min away from Daytona speed way. if you want to see JDMs come down there and you will see my customers JDM`s in different stages of compilations.
if you look at 1g racing,there not an RI as well

im telling you,this is a legal loop hole untill DOT and EPA changes the laws.i think it will happen cause im not the only one using it.but an AN INDIVIDUAL IS ALLOWED TO PURCAHSE PARTS AND BUILD/ASSEMBLE A VEHICLE.that why we act as a broker on this,i help you find the car,take it apart,i do all the EPA and DOT paperwork.YES even as parts you have to fill out those forms.when all the parst and shells get to the US and at out location,i have the local law enforcment come down and verify the vin and all the paperwork involved with the car to take care of the titling

to explain the kit car. a kit car is made my a manufacturer. ex we will say company SSR ,they sell the car called the DAVID. They make/get all the parts from A to Z to make up the David and they give it to you to assemble. so you will get manufacture certificate of origins and receipts from them .thats what is considered a kit car. but on the other had,you went to another country where the DAVID is a production car,you are allowed to take parts or take apart a DAVID in another country and import those parts. you have the right to build/assemble that car, cause an individual is allowed to be a manufacture of an auto and it doesnt matter if you put it together or have someone else do it.im not going to go to long into this cause soon you will have nismo_power and the rest of his cut and paste crew say its illegal still, even when 1g racing does it.and they will say it has to meet epa and dot and you need a RI,they still cant understand that all that stuff applies when you import a Full running car.Do you need a RI and make a car EPA and DOT legal, YES if you are importing a full running car to be 50 state legal.cause to them if it says skyline its illegal even when we all know the EPA and DOT dont look at make and model they look at it as a FULL running non US car that hasnt been converted. And like i say it applies to full running cars trying to be entered in the US

The first sign is that the only address on the website is a PO Box, something anyone can go to the Post Office and get. They list no physical address for you to go to and confirm their business license.

Second, any importer of non-US vehicles must be a Registered Importer (RI) with the NHTSA and DOT. Here's the list of registered importers:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules...st07142004.html
There is no RI by the name of Evolution Imports or any RI in Orlando for that matter.

Third, they claim to be able to import JDM Integras, Evos, Suburus, etc. Since they are JDM models, they are RHD. NHTSA has a list of non-US vehicles eligible for importation:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules...ELIG071404.html
If you read that, RHD models are identified on the list. There is only one RHD vehicle on the list as elgible, the Skyline, which Motorex can do. So Evolution Imports is making false claims to import street legal JDM Evos, etc.

Lastly, always check with the Better Business Bureau before dealing with an unknown business, especially on the internet. Here's what comes up when you check on Evolution Imports:
http://www.orlando.bbb.org/nis/news...733000012002719

Notice again, no physical address recorded. Also, read under Customer Experience:
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s).

This is a dead give away of an internet scam site. If you do give them money, where are you going to go to get it back if they never answer you? Nowhere, since you have no physical address.

if your so legit, youll come up with an obvious reason as to why this was posted. prove me/senior members wrong.

i understand you are bitter for paying all the $ for in reality a 7 to 9k$ car.
i knew you were going to come on post,i dont car what you say i know what my customers drive and i can show anyone who wants to see some of my other customer cars in different phases of completion

and if you keep seeing it saying "non-US vehicles " all that DOT and EPA stuff doesnt apply when you import components.Nismo has a MX so he knows everythng cause its from MX .then explan the noble M12 Big guy from 1g racing?
