strong or weak evo
If you're worried, don't mod it. No matter what advice you get, you're always going to have that doubt... I was never worried, so that's never been an obstacle for me. If the car breaks, I'll either fix it or sell it. Simple as that.

I don't get it, why don't you just go on and mod your car as you had planned or were you expecting some one to tell you that you have purchased a "weak" evo and now you can't touch the car? Please let us know

You just need to determine how far you want to go and how much you are willing to do. In my case, I figure anything that breaks can be replaced, by AMS so who cares right. You have to decide if it is worth it to you and can you afford to do it. no one here can tell you that.

As long as you don't mind having to pay for it, if you really want to keep the warranty then you'll just have to sit and wait till it ends I guess. Hope this helps you out and good luck

And i'm gonna also add in maintainence as some people buy the damn car and cant afford tires or oil changes regularly. I treat my car like my girl. love her to death. Every now and then, i give it to her but i do so with love and care as to not rip or ruin anything. But most of the time I treat her with love and care. If you beat on yours all day and night, either shes gonna die, kill you, or leave. LOL. But seriously drive right.
