Do our cars need to be serviced by Mitsubishi!!!
Do our cars need to be serviced by Mitsubishi!!!
The rumor is that Evo has to be serviced by 
? Can anybody verfiy this?
Couple of questions if the rumor is true
1. Why
2. For the duration of the warrenty?
3. Wrx doesn't need this why Evos?
4. Is the evo more advance than the STI? Because subaru doesn't require this?
Another words if the STI doesn't require special attention with the DCCD why in the world would the evo need this .
Please explain

I think Ralliart will be the only ones allowed to modify the Evos without voiding warranty. Mitsu announced in the LA autoshow webcast that Ralliart is coming with them over to North America. Sort of pointless for Ralliart to come over if even they aren't allowed to mess with the Evos.

Depends on what kind of servicing . . .
For simple oil changes, anyone can do it, including your local mechanic. If something breaks, it should be covered under warranty and you should then bring it to the Mitsu dealer.
Other than oil changes, there arent really a whole lot to worry about. Coolant oil flushing, brake fluid change can all be done by anyone competent.
The IMPORTANT thing is to make sure that they use full synthetic oil. Brake fluid must be top grade, preferably race quality. Ok, make sure you get the top quality oil filters too. No point having a 30k car and using a $1 oil filter . . .
And always use the highest octane gas available to get full power. This is very important, trust me.

will void if he works on my evo because he never worked on a 4g63 in an evo instead of a talon. Lets hope it's just a rumor. I'm suprised by the reaction. I thought 75% of car enthusicts likes working on thier own cars?

Well, I did most of the work on my 95 GSX, but don't have the time anymore. Besides, with the same engine, I sorta feel like I have been there, done that...no need to do it again. That is another reason why I might try the Sti, to start fresh with a new motor, I like the process of learning/researching my car.

Actually, part of the reason I am likely going to get the Sti is because I am planning on staying stock, at least for a few years (and, as we all know, the Sti might be quicker than the Evo stock). That way, there will be a lot more info on what works and what doesn't, and hopefully more parts available. Also, I got tired of fighting with the dealer, especially when the "walking crankshaft" hit. Although, I did get a separate warranty company to cover most of it! I just wish the Sti looked as good as the evo...
It's just a guess due to the long plumbing coming out of the exhause mainfold. On boxter engines they have the exhaust coming out and wraping around the front of the engine before hitting the turbos. Because of this a precat is needed to pass emissions on startup. I think after the first 5 sec it's ok. Unless they use the new NASA cats I don't know how would they pass U.S. emissions without one.
The evo's have the turbo's right off the hot exhaust. The cat is after the turbo. This means less pressure drop for the turbo and easier to pass emissions and less lag "especiall with twin scroll"
Someone else here might be more knowlegable on this issue.

I'm pretty sure our engine is far more advance than the engines used 8 years ago on the evo's. Any evo owners what to comment on this issue?
