05 evo problems
i've had plenty of problems and i have friends that have to, before anyone says anything i'll basically post my defense now, i broke in my car just right (never taken over 4500 rpm before 1500 miles, oil change 100 miles and 1000 miles) i've never launched my car, and i don't race it. i have 3000 miles and some change and i had a full engine and turbo swap due to a factory malfunction on the #1 bearing and piston rod

yeah, and let me post my defense.
this is 10k miles with 30-40+ launches, 3-4 clutch burnups, 10+ topouts (excess of 150mph), running the boost at a consitent 21 pounds for the past month or so, drifting, a few bouts with a 5-7 mile rally road, etc. etc. etc. oh... and it's survived 3-4 NE snow storms where I was out for about 5-10 hours each storm, driving all over the place. every car is different. i technically followed break-in procedure until about 600 miles when i started shifting at 5-6k rpms, still without any WOT. I hit 1100 miles in the first week of owning this car. i'm still on stock clutch and it's running as strong as ever.

I can atest to this....
3500 miles since Jan 14. Just a slight noise from clutch on the occaisonal downshift. Dont even know if you can consider that a problem. Other than that... cant wipe the grin off my face.
