Yeah, the Evo hadn’t hit American shores yet… Today, it’s pretty tough to put a price tag on an R34 in America, seeing as how you can’t legally own them. But a rough estimate is you’re not even getting in the door without at least six figures.Ĭheck out the “Bayside Blue Forbidden Fruit” t-shirt on the Ideal store!īrian’s 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Product Placement Blog Now, when they decided to go R34, they didn’t just use Craig’s, they bought four more!
