I owned one myself (brought it back as a personal import in 2000), and it was me who applied for them under SEVS. The ruling currently says 1998-on but that will be getting changed soon to include all year models from when they began in 1996.

I can put you in touch with a workshop who is currrently bringing in test cars, but it's still early days - you might be looking at Christmas before it hits the road.

If you need any more details, feel free to PM. I'm currently holding orders for three of them.

Pic of my old car attached - currently resides in Sydney.

we have galant and legnum both 99 models as test cars here now ..will be at least 4-5 months before compliance is available from me .it is taking 12 weeks from submission to approval atm + emission evidence = 4-6 weeks ..so end of year is more likely

I didn't think any engineers had evidence on these yet? These are a cool car, let us know when you've got it through.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
