Nice 1/4mile times in your sig [runs away]

Try using the Evo for what it was actually meant to do and you won't have a problem. If you want to drag race buy a camaro/mustang (cheaper to mod and better results with slicks)

 

Whatever this guy is a flake. He put up his exhaust up in the for sale section to trade exhausts weeks ago and Ive been talking to him for weeks and hes been taking forever to respond and now he made a new thread and now supposly someone else has dibs on it.

 

I have raced my 03 evo for two years, gone through many sets of tires, but NEVER had a clutch or transfer case problem. I am at 31,000 miles now, still running strong with zero mechanical failures. I would say the car is tough beyond belief. That being said, many Evo owners are morons in how they treat and drive their cars. Most if not all problems experienced by Evo owners are brought on by themselves.

you know after my first clutch i changed my thinking.... and this 2nd clutch has lasted waaaaaaaaaaay longer and i have had alot more fun with the car not having to worry about it breaking. I think your problem would be those 1/4 mile runs......

 

In all fairness, the 2003 Evos with the viscous center diff and open front diff DO have had an inordinately high number of transfer case failures...and it's not always easy to attribute that to driver error. Mine died shortly after I had the fluid flushed by the dealer. They gave me a new (not rebuilt) transfer case, and that died after about 500 miles of pure highway driving. This is NOT normal!

Even though Mitsu never formally acknowledged that the 2003 transfer case/front diff system was inherently weak, they've gone ahead and put the ACD center diff and front LSD on all 2005 Evos. You never hear of any transfer case failures anymore. This tells you something!

Keep in mind that the Evos in the rest of the world have had the ACD and front LSD for several generations. This seems to be a much stronger design than the fragile system the USDM Evos got stuck with when they hit the market in 2003. I would have absolutely NO reservations about buying a 2005 Evo .

Lemon Law does not cover car's that have been modded, and had the **** beat out of them from day one.

 

i have to admit, i was in the same boat as your Zero, but it looks like you're on a battleship.

i had to replace my clutch at 12k miles.

24 hour fitness and the strengthening of the left side of my body is what makes this EVO grow more and more powerful everytime i step foot in it.

 

Zero i hope youve changed the oil in the car atleast..... my neighbor drove her car until it couldnt start.... it wouldnt start cause she forgot the oil change, brand new car too....

 

Uhhh, I don't think he's coming back guys.

 

Yo marco where yea at.....

 

damn maybe you need to learn how to ****ing drive... 4 clutches within 14k miles??? wtf.... HAHA thats like 3500 miles per clutch??? you change them with your oil or what?? i dotn think i could wear the clutch out that fast if i tried, i have 10000 miles and my clutch is still fine..

 

hell yeah! this idiot is just a lil cant drive ***** that we dont need on nasioc!

 

hehehee, I was thinking the same exact thing. This guy's obviously a complete dumba$$. I have over 25K on mine and so far I have had to replace the brake pads, oooooohhhhh, what a piece of $hit!!!!!! For the retard who said an STi would fix the problem has never owned a Subie. I'd rather have Mitsu driveline worries than boxer motor issues.

 

i've launched my car about dozens of time, tracked, did everything.

my tc's fine. it's drivers fault 80% of the time, 20% of the time, it's the tranny's fault.

I don't know which this one is

 

What the f*ck that you did to your EVO? 4 clucthes and T-Case blown? I abused my EVO by taking it to the drag and track almost every months and it never fail on me like that. It got over 30k miles now and I'm still loving it every moment.

Do you know that you suppose to put the clucth pedal in before shift? :-)
