Ok i basically want to hear about some of the problems people have hade with Evo's. I cant stand talking to all this guys where i live, everyone who doesnt have a Mitsubishi seems to like to bad mouth them and say there built crappy and they always have problems. well i dont feel that way but im just curious at what kind of problems people have had. Ive heard of crankwalk, clutches, and transfer cases blowing but not that many.

 

search young Jedi, lead the way to your answers it will...

 

there is a big tread on this look around you will find it. if you can't pm me and I will look it up.

 

well i did a search and found some, maybe u can help me find some more, or since u responded to this thread maybe u have a problem with your evo u would like to share since it would be nice to hear some up to date issues.

 

No crankwalk on the Evo's 4G63. That was an issue with some of the mid 90's DSM motors. Clutches...well I've got close to 20k on my stocker with no chattering or slipping. Others have more miles and are pushing more horsepower. Drivetrain issues also seem to occur more in the '03 model than subsequent USDM Evos.

It's not God's chariot though. Maintenance is expensive...brake pads, tires, synthetic oil changes, etc. You'll also pick up a few interior rattles over time and discover that, even off boost, the car will NEVER achieve the advertised highway gas mileage.

 

Crankwalk is over used anyways. Its not NEARLY as large of a problem as anyone made it to be, and alot of it is driver influenced. Keeping the clutch down at a light with the car in a gear keeps pressure on the PP/Flywheel and can cause premature main bearing failure.

I dont own an evo yet, but the only problem i see from being in them is that they are way addicting, and your addiction will be boost.

 

yea i know that crankwalk was a huge issue with old school eclipses but i thought i heard a few people in some forums saying that they might be getting symptoms of crankwalk. but i havent heard any cases of it yet. but whos to say because didnt people start seeing crankwalk until the cars were hitting miles of 40K plus. i mean considering that most evos still have kinda low mileage whos to say if crankwalk might not be a issue down line?

 

warrtalon i dont know if your talking to me but im not looking to argue just to hear peoples experiences

 

hmmm it seems as though everyone is taking this thread the wrong way and getting upset. all i wanted to know is the problems people are having or have had, and i wasnt trying to tell u that u where wrong about crankwalk but i was asking if u think it cant happen?

 

Joe no one is upset. That warrtalon guy is an imposter of another member. He is just acting stupid.

 

warrtalon i think i have u mistaken. ur arguing with turdswirter correct?

 

what u mean? who is warrtalon ive seen has name all over threads? he seems to be well known in here

 

aight well neways after all this arguing which evo years are recommended to buy. it seems as though 03 have some issues. i dont want to end up buying a evo and than blowing something up. the last thing i need is to blow the transfer case and than have them not wa rantee it.

 

ha i c
