with some time, evos are no better than DSMs

No doubt...they all become a project after 7-8 yrs.

^He isn't talking about the fact they become a project.

DSMers are do-it-yourselfers, not dumb stubborn don't want to learn shit about car guys, well we used to be. Ended a few years ago, now everyone likes cars, i would say its the new cool thing to do.

I say take the car to the dealership and see if they'll cover the oil leak under warranty. The more heavily modded you get the better chance you have of your warranty being voided so if you're going to do it, might as well do it now.

With that said, I had my car in at the dealership yesterday and they couldn't have been nicer about it. They didn't care at all about the mods and said they're going to try and get the issue covered.

It's too late, my turbo and manifold are all off right now and they said it would take an hour max since it is on the manifold side. So they are going to fix it for me quick, they looked up how to do it. I am not too worried, it will all work out.

I do as much as I can myself and time allows. This car is basically new and it's tough to take your time on your only car.

I just went and bought 200 bucks worth of tools etc to do the installs this week. Now I have more tools to do stuff next time. I am usually limited only by the tools I have, not the inability to do the job. My cams were really the only thing I didn't do up until this recent round.

nice looking car and you have a good start on the upgrades.
now for a little ribbing. your car is a fucking tank just like the evo 8-9.

More of a tank than the 8/9! If by tank you mean weight (i suppose you could be referring to the ability to withstand abuse, but am more inclined to think the first:))

I'll take comfort and less road noise anytime, you can always make more powah.
