I dont get why the owners manual says that. I jsut read it too. Can someone explain this?

 

But if the owner's manual specifies that it can wait until 90,000 miles then if it does break, everything should be warrantied (unless you have a bunch of mods). Technically, they couldn't deny you unless you didn't maintain the car according to the specified schedule.

 

I just took a look at my 2003 owners manual and it says nothing about timing belt replacement at 90,000 miles. It does say to replace the timing belt at 60,000 miles. It says that for California, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine it is recommended but not required to maintain the emmisions warranty. It's cheap insurance to replace the timing belt and I wouldn't trust Mitsubishi covering a big repair bill up near the 80,000 - 90,000 mile mark even with an extended warranty. My timing belt on my 94 Talon Tsi failed at 43,000 miles and Chrysler/Mitsubishi did not cover it because they said it was past the 36,000/3 year mark and I argued with them that the timing belt was supposed to be changed at 60,000 miles. I had to pay for all the repairs out of my own pocket. Anyway, sorry for going off topic and everybody change your timing belt at 60,000 miles or earlier if you can.

2004 White RS

27K miles and still strong have yet to consider replacing the timing belt probably will at the 50k mark. She's daily driven and I hardly race the engine, I'm not one to test the red line limit.

 

I got a 95 EVO 3 with only 73,000 km on it ! belive that! thats about 45,360 miles.
I live in the Bahamas we can any import model skylines EVOs from 1 on up Rx7 silvias, anything. The eraly models are very popular her because u get strait from japan for not much money and in my case near perfect condition, almost as if some went back in time to buy it. A few sevens and eights here and there.

 

stop braggin buddy haha j/k nice ride

 

Actually, you're 3rd

84,xxx since Dec 03. Not one problem. Car has been well over 300awhp since about 5k miles and other than the stock clutch(replaced it not because it went, but because of the mods) and 60k maintenance, nothing has been replaced. It's my DD and it sees at least 65mi on weekdays.

 

I have 17,4xx on my '03 Evo VIII . No major problems. Working out an issue where my knock sensor is reading 15+ knocks at 5,500 to redline.

 

I've got 53,000 on my 03 evo. Bought it about a year and a half ago with 37,000 miles on it. Only had to replace the clutch at 40,000 since I've had it. Probably going to change the timing belt soon

 

mine has 18,980 on the clock for now. it's her 2nd B-Day Feb 7 .. everyone is invited!! gonna treat her a IX turbo... on her B-Day....

 

6,191 after about 4 months (started at ~40)
