After 10 years of Impreza ownership i thought it was time for a change.

I sold the Impreza and spoke to SVA about importing an Evo VI from Japan. Lots of the UK cars have big rust problems, so only wanted a fresh import.

After a pretty long wait (the world needs quicker ships!) the Evo arrived at SVA about two weeks ago.

I've been down and had a good look at it, especially underneath after all the horror stories about Evo's rusting, and I was very very impressed with it.

I'm just waiting for it to be registered. During that time SVA are undersealing it, service including belts, mot, tax, changing the lash adjusters (tappets) and a few other tiny things that I've forgotten.

Might be having it lowered before I pick it up, that's TBC.

I've already got a pile of parts stacking up. Nothing performance yet, just some bits to tidy it up and make it completely mint. (New decals, rubber trim etc)

The only mod on the car is a Ralliart exhaust, apart from that it's completely standard.

Should be picking it up when I get back from holiday on the 27th.

Few pics of it.....

 

Very nice and in the fastest color too

 

EVO

hang your head in shame and make sure you let the door hit you in teh *** on yoru way out,,,,,, and dont come back!!!!!!!!!


hahahahahaha

what model is it?

 

yuk

lol

as long as it makes you happy mate

 

Very nice car mate, good choice

 

Looks a very clean example mate, enjoy it

 

I hear they're tricky to insure...

 

giggle

 

Nice looking in white

 

How long does it take to arrive once the ship has left

 

Nice ...

 

ooooh, very nice!

 

You'll be back in a Scoob in less that a year

Evo looks nice though

 

 

Once it's left it takes about 6-7 weeks, plus time in customs.

 

Evo VI GSR

 

I know nothing about EVO's, so what made you chose that model?

 

The other model is the RS, which is the same as a RA (no aircon, windy windows, no ABS)... and i like my creature comforts!

 

TME

Trackday Moley Edition

 

 

Very nice.

 

Think I prefer your blob mate.

 

Awesome motor Moley. No hatred from me!

I think the VI is the best looking of the Evos, and probably the one that will end up being cherished most in years to come.

Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for it

 

Lol, I thought you might

 

Curious to know out of all the importers how come you settles for SVA

 

I'd read good things and bad things about them, but I know all too well that for every 20 happy customers only one will write something good on the internet, but if just one gets bad service it's guaranteed they'll write about it.

Therefore I went down there to see them in person and judge for myself, and I have to say they have been excellent. The quality of the cars speak for themselves, but they are also a great bunch of guys down there, so was more than happy to use them.

They also give a years parts and labour warranty, but I hope I don't ever need to use that.

 

Looks fantastic

Was always the best looking EVO

 

Awesome car. got to be the best looking model. A good friend of mine has the RS version in that shape. No creature comforts at all but goes like stink lol

 

Fair enough mate, was speaking with torque gt at one point regarding bringing a foz sti over but decided to buy a hawk. Always found their prices to be a little high although if the stock is good then that would explain it.

Hope you enjoy it bud

 

The prices over in Japan seem to be pretty steep at the moment.
