Update:

So maybe a month ago I was logging the car and noticed my trims were maxed out so one of the guys on evoxforums offered to help me dial the injectors/MAF in, Clipse3gt.

Anyway, fast forward to last weekend, I made this:

Sweet duct tape intake :)

Plugged up the holes and threw this on because frankly I never did this back in the fall with Shane as I think Scheides had my stock intake/piping, which is tune the injectors with the stock MAF. Tuning big injectors with a big dumb choppy intake sucks so I wanted to start from scratch to dial it in.

Well been doing LOTS of logging over the last week or so and have gotten the trims within a few percent on the DW1300's.

Well, I was all happy today as it was Friday and I had a half day of vacation. What better to do then get some more logging done for clipse to look at?

I woke up from my NAP...raining still now. Ok, no big deal.

Get down to the evo get in the car, search for the clutch pedal...whered it go? FUCK ME IN THE ASS! Stuck on the floor, speechless. I pull it up with my foot and start the car and get it to the driveway.

Then I heat the car up to temp, reset trims and load the new MAP. While Idling I took this vid?

Q77MsB40Yrg

It doesn't look like its burning coolant does it? I have almost never seen smoke come out of my exhaust unless its really cold out but thats just condensation then. Its windy so it might be hard to tell but I could see white smoke that I don't think is typically there. Been so long so I have looked though I don't even know.

Whatever, idled the car for 15 mins for the log then went cruising. After 15mins the clutch was really bad and wouldn't return up without me pulling it so I had to take sneaky routes home to not fully stop, cutting through parking lots, running stop signs the works. Made it back and parked in my driveway.

My brother got home about 5 mins later and helped push the car in the garage as its not easy to get it moving as the clutch stays down. Then I see this in the driveway.

It appears my oil leak is getting a bit worse.

Again...speechless, too many damn problems. And this year seemed to be going so smooth.

Thank god my honda works so I can drive to the liquor store and stock up to put myself out of my misery.

Anyone wanna buy an evo? Or trade for a corvette or something stock ;)

Fuck...man that sucks :( What CMC do you have in there? I know Cobb refuses to sell or even install the SSP ones anymore since they've have numerous failures with all three versions.

Magnus CMC right nOw. Which has broke once already.

Well didn't get a chance to check anything out over the weekend, was pretty busy and helped Shawn yesterday with his clutch install. Planning on looking at the CMC tonight. Maybe even trying to bleed it some to see if that helps. Hopefully there is a leak there somewhere and that is the problem. Hey, one of these times its got to be something easy right? If its not leaking I guess I will order up a new evo 9 CMC, I think they are only like 100-150, so not terrible. Then spend a weekend doing it myself.

Did get some good news though today, bonus time at work yay! Steady income is fun but something about getting a bonus that is like 4 paychecks is way more fun. What to mod next? house I think.

Good luck with the CMC, fingers-crossed it's an easy fix for once!

Wow another CMC? Do you push the clutch pedal sideways or something? Mash it on the floor for long periods of time? I just don't understand how you burn through them man :(

Is there any chance of just putting a (new) stocker w/ AMS ring back in there? Mine's still doing well (knock on wood)...

I only have like 5k miles on the CMC, I don't know how I could possibly drive it in a way to make it not work.

To me its a design issue if anything on the plate/adapter from magnus.

It has always squeaked from day 1 so not sure if its misaligned or it is just a shitty kit or what.

The stock one is tempting. I don't even know where mine is, somewhere at DB I am guessing as I don't think I ever asked for it back. However, with the magnus one it requires cutting some studs off which I believe are for the stock CMC. So I am prolly stuck with the magnus setup.

Sadly, I think once you modify the firewall to accept an aftermarket unit you may not be able to go back to the stocker. I could be wrong though, maybe you can press in a new stud, or use a regular bolt w/nut instead. If it's possible, I think it's a great idea. Every year Mitsu has further reinforced the plastic so the later ones are actually pretty strong, especially with the AMS cock ring.
