Sorry if this sounds like I am being a dick. So you got your car for the gas mileage and not because its a evo.
.


Doesnt sound like your being a dick... just very confusing.....

I posted that information becuase you had posed you didnt think the mpg of a SS or SRT8 would be as bad as previously estimated by A///guy... Just wanted to help inform you that they are as bad as he had estimated.....

And no I didnt buy me evo for the mpg... (have gotten 27mpg though...) I DD my Evo and have had zero issues with it... yes it has a much more stock set up than you but i still have my fun... I Bought my gfs Mini Cooper S as a fun car that still gets great MPG!

I vote get your car tuned and enjoy it for the summer and then see what you think...

Thanks for the info on the jeep and the SS. I was thinking that They got better gas mileage then that.

I know that no one knows this but I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR FOR MORE THEN A WEEK cent's I have own it.

Thats just sad man, I'm sorry for you. I've put 60k mostly trouble-free miles on my evo and its been down for a week here or there, but often it was fixed on my schedule, with a bit of hurry to get it done quick.

I say work through the issues and make it a reliable DD. I've always told people to keep it simple and always always put maintenance over modding. 2.3+35R is wicked awesome but the can of worms that can come with it can be a nightmare, which you are in right now. Stock motor + stock frame turbo and a little octane (E85 or alky) can make killer power and be a lot more reliable, but it still can be a nightmare if you aren't careful.

Can't wait to see the new numbers!

I wish I would have gotten the other one I was looking at.

Just keep on moving. My car has been a huge pain as well. But when im done fixing it and it actually down the road best feeling ever.. $1500 is a lot of money. Ive put about the same amount in it. If you want to sell your car though no one can tell you what to do. Itll be nice if you keep it though. I mean its a EVO. Plus People are happy to help you out if you need any remember that to.

i can haz grammer?

I luv Me hookid on fonics!!


Jesus Christ man, you don't type that way on Mnsubaru or mnsc, why bring the the toilet grammar here?

Reading your typing is comparable to trying to decipher what ozzy osbourne is saying while in a drug induced stupor. lol


This car has seemed to overwhelm you from day 1. I say you either bring it to a good shop like DB, and have them straighten it all out, and/or bring it closer to stock. Or 2. Give up and sell it

I am at work and I don't want my boss to see me doing this. That why I am ninja typing.

Ahhh... the feeling of having the car run after it has been sitting for a couple of years...

DSM people know this feeling well...
Maybe I should include evos now?

LMFAO! I love it! So true, but fuk the couple of years thing. If my car is down for a week, or I go on vacation or something, I'm itching to drive it!
