As I'm sure that you know, driving next to a civic with an Evo isn't called a race... it's called a beating. I've never seen the video, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Plus, at least my mom didn't buy my car.

Isnt a moderator supposed to have a little more maturity than that fireball. I thought you are supposed to stop fights, not criticize someone for buying a car. Well regardless if it is a beating or a race you have the same risk of getting into an accident. Am I not right???

Twist and tighten the fuel cap thing until you hear and feel a click and the engine service thing should go away.

The "service Engine Soon" light is probably on because the motor is running alot richer. When a bov is vented to the atmosphere on a car that meters the intake air via MAS (just like on the EVO8) the ecu calculates the air entering through the intake and then adjusts fuel accordingly. Then when the bov expells the accounted air to the atmosphere the air fuel ratio changes and subsequentially the mixture is richer. This phenomenon is the cause to some engine stalling and jittering. Thats why recirculating kits/ diverter kits were made so that the vented air is recirculated back in to the intake........theoretically the car will run normal (correct air/fuel mixture) but the nice pppppphhhssshh sound is not as loud.
