just got new EB evo a few hrs ago- first time to drive it too, the ride is really stiff, it also smells like something is burning inside the cabin, is it just the air vent? it's now freezing here and i also had difficulty closing trunk--pls comment...thanks

 

shld i just get new tires, an all season mounted on the stock rims and just sell the tires?

 

all seasons are a must.

 

All Mitsubishis (and plenty others) smell funky when new. That cosmoline has to burn off the exhaust. Don't worry about it, just turn on your recirc button. It'll go away in a week or two.

 

trunk is naturally like that as well.. i've got an '04... if really want to make it easier to close, take out the plastic trim around that area... that's all it is... the evo is also naturally a stiff ride... get over it... lol... best thing to do... is to get it muellerized at road race... have the car the way it was meant to be from the dealership... =)

congrats on the new ride...

 

Check the air pressure in your tires too. Mine came from the dealer with 45lbs, making the ride a bit stiffer than it already is.

 

yes...yes you should.....and then you should sell me your 4 stock advans for 200 bucks. Its a great deal, I promise.

 

yeah...mine stunk too when new....made me hella nauseous.......it's just all that lovely hardware being put to work for the first time since the car left Japan...hahha....

GPTourer is right..it'll go away in a couple of weeks.....then you can enjoy your new car smell.....

 

hey .. for the trunk .. you can undo 2 nuts (so to speak ) on the trunk lid and adjust it to match the lock on the boot itself .. I did mine and had no problems after .. it's an alignment problem ..

 

thanks guys!! i think the advans are little over $50 each( haha)- I really like the BOV sound, shgld I just get new intakes or get new BOV? or both? cld u recommend brands and how much? can i still drive it on snow even w/ advans?

 

Ummm, no. Dude you might need to spend a little time with your owner's manual before you ask anymore questions.

 

did you do any research on the car, or about the car, or its history before you bought it?

 

yikes....yeah...read up....ur scarin' me....

 

Can you post some pics of your car please.

 

Yeah, post lots of daytime pics of your car as I think you're the first person on here to purchase an EB.
