i had a chat to her a couple of weeks ago and she was driving an evo, but her bf has a wrx so they could have done a swap on the plates...

would be the same as they are both 2L turbo, 4wd kinda true tim, but they are completely different car to be honest, i prefer the 4G63 I4 compared to the EJ20 B4. Plus the add ons for the Evo 9 is massive.

btw - The current Evo 9 will be the last Evo sold/made.

wrx's are like 2k, whereas my friend who has an evo 8 is paying close to 4k...

also, why is a forester only 600 for me to insure when it is also 2L, 4wd and turbo? its not classed a four-wheel drive either, its an allwheel drive wagon...thats not all insurance goes on...

yeah thats cos the evo8 is the same catogry as an sti not a std wrx, but sti's that are made the same years as the evo8s, the stis are around 10k more

okk now with insurance...the EVO8 will cost more for insurance as it is an import car...the wrx not as much as it is an aussie car (well classed as an aussie car, unless if it was imported from japan)...

All Subarus are imports (as they are not built here...), but the EVOs are probably what you call grey imports like Sylvias, 180s, R34s, etc...

bourbon
12-04-2006, 06:00 PM
but the subarus you can buy from subaru dealerships in aus...and they class it as an aussie car i thought not as an IMPORT...like these evo8s would be classed as an import...there are aussie silvias, 180sx...but you can also get japanese ones as well

WRX's are like assholes - everyone's got one, whereas the EVOs are a lot rarer with up until recently the only one you got get that wasn't a grey import being the Tommi Makinen EVO 6.5. Therefore, a lot less parts to repair them around and a lot less stocked by Mitsu Aus, so a higher insurance premium results

Umm the 180/Silvia was never sold here by Nissan - only 200SX S14/S14A/S15. Oh, and the Gazelle which was an S12 (or S11, i can't remember)

gazelle was a s11 from memory, the s12 was more of a s13 shape but much bigger and uglyer :D

also dont forget the r32 gtr was also sold here, but at the asking price of over $100,000

I think the term you are looking for is "Australian Delivered" cars, which means they are imported here and complianced to our standards for sale as a new car. Sometimes things like suspension are tweaked for our "conditions".
Quite often grey imports need to have the seatbelts replaced and intrusion bars added to the doors to meet our requirements. One of my friends used to compliance cars the best part of 10 years ago. So trust me when I say the import 180 or Sil you buy from the yard has been most certainly tested thoroughly by your local compliancing engineer! ;)

Hey guys!

Long time no see :P Nate told me about this thread so I came on to check it out. Yes I have sold the sp20 and have now got the wrx. Have had it for about 5 mths now and loving it. But am missing the ol sp20 heaps :( Wish I could've kept her for the daily. Oh and she's all mine no bf here to take ownership lol.

I'll have to come out for a cruise with you guys again soon if you dont mind a traitor tagging along :D

Sal

PS I'm no hoon :(
