If I got an Evo VII, where would I service it? Assuming I won't be able to fix every problem I run into down the road. Would a Mitsu Dealership be able to work on it? Are many of the parts similar when compared to the VIII? I'm talking J-Spec VII to US-Spec VIII. I wouldn't want to have to order all of my parts from Japan to fix it. Let me know what you know.... thanks guys.
P.S. This is assuming they become fully approved of course, I have been paying attention to this thread, and understand that its a bad idea to get one now.

Well, EI does offer full warranties on the vii's, and even if you couldnt find someone to fix your problem (evo's being known for being bulletproof up to 550 hp), you could always replace a part instead of fixing it- which sounds a lot better to me.
about finding someone to fix a problem, I know that SP engineering has made a "whole new car" by dropping a twin turbo 6 of a supra into an RX-7!! If they can do that (an unbelievable chore), they can handle any kind of trick diff by
. just my two cents

I am working on the project. It will get done.
The time frame - I am not 100% on. Its up to the DOT and EPA....
We work on their schedule. Not much we can do about it... if you push it - it will take longer.

I think you misunderstood the reason I called it a hot topic. I called it a hot topic because people are currently looking at throwing down $35K for a JDM Evo. This topic is of interest to those people. They want to know the status of the legalization process before they make the purchase. I was in no way makeing reference to those who have already purchased an Evo.
In relation to your example. If I really wanted to buy crack and you told me that you were working on making it legal, then your progress in its legalization process would be a hot topic to me, since I would want to buy your crack as soon as it was legal, and not before...
