'03 Evo owner update
34K runs strong on stock clutch.
Had replaced/fixed so far all UNDER WARRANTY:
1. Brand new Rear Wing
2. 5gear synchro
3. New transfer case seal
4. climate nob control fixed
Had my stock advan replace twice, once w/stock advans (love these!), now broke *** me with Nitto Extreme 555R (not bad at $440 installed) The car runs great but I think I need a tune badly. My current mods are only:
- MBC, DP, Catback, Intake cone filter w/ stock piping, hyper ground wires
I heard intake, although I only got the filter not the kit, w/o a tune it can hurt the car and make even less power? But anyways Al is coming here soon, so I might go for a tune with him.
This is my daily driver, my show/race car is my Nissan 240sx.

38k on my car. Only things replaced were the calipers and the wing which did the usual stuff they always do. Car has had over 300 whp since 5k miles. Stock clutch still, NO mechanical problems ever....the car has been absolutely mechanically flawless
16,xxx without any problems I would consider a major issue. Just needs some syncromesh and shifter bushings. Stinking calipers are peeling like a mother but I have couple more dealers to check it out. So far one local one will not.
25K so far and no problems to speak of! Only maintenance items replaced -- brake pads and tires.
I am looking into replacing engine and transmission mounts to tighten things up again as there is a little drive train slop developing.

50k so far. 2 seasons of autocross, with a codriver. Beyond consumable (brakes & tires ) and the expected wear and tear from racing (upgraded the clutch & flywheel, front diff), the only problem I have had is the p0300 reflash.
For the way I drive the car, and race it on the weekend, my 03 EVO has been very reliable, more so than the WRX I owned previously.

bought mine with 12k. I have 18k now. Found out clutch was replaced at 8k...and turbo was replaced at 10K!! The car had obviously been modded and returned to stock, so I took it in for "tune-up" at 14K, b/c the tranny was making a loud noise after 4k rpm. They kept it for one week, i never got an invoice (Mitsu dealer closed!) so, i dont know what was done under warranty. Right now, second gear grinds and is hard to get into gear in the cold. Also, the car temp guage needle is always pointing a bit cooler. The car is freakin awesome though...i love it. It was my dream car, and i finally got it (4months ag). Getting my boost gauge/pod in tomorrow!! Eager to see what im boosting...but also a little scared to find out. What do you guys think?
I have 23k miles now with my current mods, act clutch still strong and no problems so far.. Wing clearcoat is still perfect as well as the brembos...i drive my car 80 miles a day and love every minute of it. only warranty work done was the heater knob turning hard ever since i bought it. In the future im planning to occasionally road race it when the money is right.......
