When are we going to tune it? :)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Congrats Chris!!! :D Very nice ride!!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Yes, the Yellow one that Luke posted was bought from the kid on TCS. It was priced very well.;)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Congrats on a great find!!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Very soon! I kinda want to get a few basic mods on the thing first (I uhhh, already started :) ) but it will be a few weeks before I get my exhaust. After that, I should get it on the rollers and see what it puts down!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Nice I only wish I could afford somthing like that..

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Nice! i cant wait for my evo! but i'm going to have to ($$$)
you should look for those jdm evo VII tail lights, i saw an evo with em and it looked soooo much better it was unreal. I found a pic.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Yep, hughes and I have been talking about that being one of the first mods we would do to an eveo 8 since they first came out, hell maybe even a little bit before they started showing up.

Strangely enough, I haven't seen one in person with them yet.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

I've seen a few with the all red taillights and they look 10x better than the stock altezzas.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Yea, I definitly dig the Evo VII lights. Trouble is, there's too many 'little' things to do on these things! Between exhaust, lowering springs (stock ride height = teh ghey), IC piping, swaybars, tint, and all that cash I blew on your mom last night (well, $5), doing a few 'quick' items on this thing is gonna kill me! :)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

You need to sell that 2G then already. ;)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

EvoDave does the tails real cheap on EvoM and they are perfect looking. More and more Evos. . . . . . what is this.. EvoStyle? I still got mine before alotta you all :) Copycats.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Dont worry you wont sucker me in. :)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

I hate you. Can I borrow Anna for a day? I'd like her to make my 2g disappear only to have an Evo8 take it's place.............I like how it looks w/o the wing. Black was also a good choice. You found a beaut.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Awesome. Now tint the windows a bit and you will be golden.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Who said my 2G disappeared? It's parked next to the evo for now! :)

Windows will be tinted friday morning (hopefully) and I hooked up my MBC tonight :)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

They look all cozy next to each other!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Time for a big turbo and let'r buck!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Nice, another Evo! I really enjoy driving mine, I am sure you will enjoy yours.

Jim

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

No.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

A wise reponse, by any standard.


Keep the car stock and sell it for more, later. I'll buy it off you in 5 years for 3500 dollars.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Good call.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

WTF, you guys go N/A and got your balls chopped off or what? After having a gt35r on my GSX, the 16g on this evo feels snappy, but it's lacking this thing up top hrm, what's it called...ah yes, 100whp :)

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Haha, no, just not a fan of semitruck turbos. Even when I had my DSM I never wanted a large turbo, I enjoyed the streetability and quick spool too much (not to mention the reliability and ease of tuning). Just my opinion though.

Does your EVO have any remaining warranty?

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Yup, yup, 40k miles, 4 years, alky injection, or a gt35r setup, whichever comes first. This car is super fun stock though! Anyone know if installing cams would be a warranty voiding situation?

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Chris nailed it.

Plus I dont enjoy buying a 30k car and having it sit in the garage on jackstands because it keeps breaking... Or I cant afford to put more money into fixing it. Maybe when I get rich someday, but then again I probably would just buy something even nicer and drive it like it is- 911TT.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

If you touch that engine and Mitsu finds out about it you won't have any powertrain coverage. I know an S2k guy who got his EVO warranty voided for a turbo-timer, and another get his voided for an intake. I think its really hit and miss depending on the dealership too.

Was it Metro Mitsu that was going out to Rockfalls and writing down license plates/VIN #'s?

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Nice car man, i still like my truck but im oviously on this site for a reason lol that car is a sweet ride.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Dont believe all the dealer crap. i work for one and its not true... its if your dumb and bring the car to them with a problem without being smart enough to switch the stock part... its illegal for a dealer to void a warranty on a entire powertrain with no proof that ur mod caused the problem.. so run it... like i said i work for the dealer and people have car with intakes and chips and all that but just cuz the car has a intake does not mean the trans went out cuz of it/... see wat i mean? RUN IT!!!!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Tell that to the Mitsu Dealers around here. Actually, that sounds like a plan, you go around and tell them all that.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

I work for a car dealer so if they are voiding warranties they are actually not legal... i had a fully custom 2003 jetta gls i brought to Burnsville Vw and it was not voided for a water pump leak.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

I don't think you're understanding the reality here.

http://www.automedia.com/Aftermarket...sm20021001aw/1

It's not the "written law" that a company can't void a warrenty for aftermarket parts use. It's general practice for some car producers like Mitsu and Subaru to be very stingy on cars like the EVO and the WRX STi which are limited in production over other cars. For the simple reason they are often bought for the purpose of modding and racing. Many of the owners will return a car to as close to stock as possible before bringing a car in for any warrenty for this reason. This is why some in the car world (EVOs, SRT4s, WRXs) had their liscense plates written down while at local tracks. It's excessive abuse and in this case if a dealer finds mods on a car that lead to extra HP or Torque then they generally will make a case to get out of the claim. It's then that the owner has to take the next step and fight it and priove his point. Most just drop it and pay. There is nothing illegal about that.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

How come you edited your original post? I enjoyed your comments about warranties being voided due to intakes, chips, ect.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

This kid is pissing me off. You drive a VW dude, try MNSC.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

haha, I don't really give a fuck if my warrenty gets voided, if I void it, its my own fault. From what I've heard, evo's have been uber reliable for a lot of people, even with no warrenty on it. There were dudes with big-ass turbo setups from all over the country that drove to the shootout this year and then drove home with nary a problem.

hey, what's wrong with the evo's windows...

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Tell that to all the people who got their warranties voided for stuff that wouldn't affect anything reliability wise. A turbo timer would actually increase reliability if anything.

I worked for a car dealership too, that doesn't make me an expert of what all dealerships around the country can and can't do, nor does it make me a certified paralegal, so I doubt it granted you those magical powers either.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Oh dang. The windows changed color! Looks even better now :D..

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Lookin good! Put that wing back on though!

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

Meh to you n/a guys. "reliability" "blah blah" "lag" "too much power" "wet sand in my vagina" "blah blah". Hey Scheides, do what you want. Either way it can all be "reliable" but I'm more than sure you're smart enough to know that it's only as reliable as it's owner/tuner so it doesn't blow up because of some street "tune".

As far as warranty goes. There are some that are very good about "mods" around here.

Re: Anna made me do it!
 

What % is that tint and where did you get it done? Looks good! Like Peter said though, get that wing back on ;)
