Bingo.

Guys should know better than to bring your modded car to a dealership asking for warranty work. The managers laugh at that.

Who cares about the warranty. Mitsubishi don't cover nothing. Don't even waste your time going there. Just get an a built tranny. That why i call Mitsubishi " Mitsubi****"

It amazes me that Evo owners get surprised when they find out their warranty is voided when they've modified their Evo. Then furthermore, they try to return their Evo to stock, and hope the dealership won't notice.

That sux. Its always good to become cool wid the mechanics and/or the service manager at the dealership. Dats what i did and they always hook me up with whatever problem i got. But thats mitsu dealers as soon as u mod the littlest thing "Sorry ur warranty is voided."
