Cant be complied as yet in Australia mate, sorry

Paul @ carizma

hey guys as the title suggests i wnat to import an evolution lancer wagon... but i cant see anywhere that they can be complied here.... anyone know??

I see them everywhere in Japan and with a few body mods they look great.

I've test driven a couple and reckon they would be a seriously fun wagon to own.

Are they on the cards for compliance in Oz cause reckon they would be snapped up real quick.

Some friends of mine in Japan are currently shopping for one, it'll eventually come back as a personal import, but aside from that there's no likelihood that they'll ever be eligible under SEVS, unfortunately.

Any reason why?? They look very nice, very sleeperish

Wasn't J-Spec trying to get one in a while back?? Also their website is down (due to malicious activity on their webserver)

If they were available I would have one...but since they aren't...i'm quite happy with my Stagea (that's until I saw Carizma selling a Manual C34 Stagea for 16k and began crying)

Too similar to the normal Lancer wagon and the Evo 9, both sold here in full volume, to be considered a separate model rather than a variant. Only option is if someone personally imports one.

Dotars is worse than World War 2

you know some of the fellas from the DOTARS SEVS team are on the forum right?

No. Think of DoTaRS like death and taxes.

you cheat them once a year?

OK thanks, I just wan't sure if anyone had tried to apply.

So to make me more learned, is it because it would be considered a variant of the Evo 9 not a different model?

Aren't all Evo's variants of local models?

FAIL.

I emailed the editor of PI, here's his response.

"Adrian, there was some talk a while ago that they might have been coming in, but in reality there is no chance of them being eligible. They are simply too similar to both the Lancer Wagon and Evo IX to be justified a separate model and thus eligible. It’s a pity, really, as they’re an awesome platform. How about a Legnum instead?

Regards,

Jason Round

Editor"

Next step, move to japan for a year and bring one back :(

hallo..

okay - blitzboy i GET that you want an evo wagon - and it's a bit of a smack across the face to be told "how about a legnum instead?" but that go tme thinking!

(not that that's a smack across the face - it's just that if you want a lanevo - YOU WANT A LANEVO!)

in my personal opinion the legnum is up there with late model soarers / chasers as far as "low priced, value for money" imports go right now..

the only problem with the legnum - is in today's climate, they look very dated... on the contrary though... i LOVE the rear end of the legnum... FAR more than the evo wagon!!!

i'l just come out and say this... get a legnum. it's a cheap blank canvas.

bring a front clip in of an Evo9. and convert the front end... they share the same chassis i beleive... i think this would be a natural progression for it!

plus - doesn't the evo9 have a better engine than the legnum anyway? better lift or something? you could sell your legnum engine off surely! :(

it would definitely be a very unique car :P i'd have one for sure!

you'd also have a much bigger migraine from all the running around and a smaller bank balance.

the lancer wagon fails the silhouette test.

why not grab a Caldina wagon? It's almost the same form factor.

i heard they go slow...

(that's just what i heard - for all i know they may whip teh pantz!!)

but based on my mate's celica GT-4 - i find his car is ridiculously slow...

that's coming from a guy with an RB20de+T (not very fast)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
