I would check the temp control knob and make sure it turns...

 

i have an 04 and no problems. my only annoyances are having to fill up the gas and having to wash it all the time (it's black).

 

20k miles and no major problems.
Brake calipers were pealing, but my dealer replaced them under warranty (it was a ***** for him to get reimbursed though so he won't do it again),
Still on original clutch, brakes and tires (had snow tires on for about 4k miles).
Paint on my heat exchanger in the hood is burning away. Dealer said it's fair wear and tear so i'm gonna repaint it my next day off.
Replaced my intercooler spray switch due to coffee being spilt on it and it freezing up..lol.
Had paint chips on the rear fenders but got the clear protectors and no problems now.

Only major problem is other drivers can't seem to see a yellow EVO. Been hit 3x, rear ended dead center of rear bumper (I was stopped on a sunny day at a red light), hit and run on left rear quarter ( parked in a parking lot) and hit by a kid on a bicycle on the right rear quarter (car was parked at my apartment).

Other then that I love my car!!!

 

I cant get my foot off the Damn gas... Oh and my IC piping is leaking.

 

03 evo, lots of paint chips on my car just from daily driving, spots on the wing is turning a lil greyish, small gas tank, insurance sky high, everything is stock on the car, love the car though

 

i got mine a few weeks ago with 29,000 miles. I have brake squeal at low pressure. Uhh, thats it.

 

look for clutch, transmission, and T-case problems. Drive the car before you buy it
-Drive the car on the highway shifting into every gear above 4000 rpm
-Listen for any whining noises- thats a a bad T-case - new t-case from MItsu costs $2800.00
-Make sure the clutch isn't slipping. Can easily be replaced by an after market one
-Make sure the car is still under warrenty
-Have mitsubishi run the VIN number- Mitsubishi has a data base of voided warrentys if that car was known to be and the track

 

ive had me 05 MR for about 4 months, no problems! had a LY 03 before, also no problems. but beware*****ITS A GAS *****!***** G/L

 

Why would any one buy a car this fast?

 

stater motor blew ...
wing clear coat is coming off (visible carbon fiber part)
caliper paint is chipping/peeling
paint is pretty crappy
front window is thin...rain is loud as hell...optional upgrade...regular lancer window

major problems...
no traction
handles like crap
looks like isht
seats suck
my vw was faster
...joke ... car is amazing...just learn how to drive before getting a evo

 

are you serious!?!

the only problem I have with mine is that its tooo ****in slow
needs more pOwA yO!

 

My 03 had the heater box replaced at 16k miles (knob wouldn't hardly turn), paint chips on the rear door frames (3M strips cure that), and I just had my trunk lid repainted under warranty because the paint was lifting in several places. I also have an input bearing noise, but I'm waiting for the synchros to get a little worse before I have it fixed. I'll put in a new clutch at that point too.

 

my only problem with my evo is that it doesnt give any problem at all. i want it to have a problem but it just drives so good. and now my problem is that i have to sell her for financial reason.

 

mods is addicting, you could never be satisfied, but hey, it's worth it......have you seen a grown man cry in his vette or 'stang?

 

lol.
