The Whats Wrong With Your Evo Thread
I swear the paint on the back of my car has yellowed more than the rest, possibly due to the exhaust. Uh also the usual gripes, brembos peeling, P0300, various buzzing due to interior vibrations, etc...

My 3rd gear synchro.. grinds at high rpm's. It's more annoying then a problem. Anyone know how much synchros go for? I'm pretty sure there aren't any after market ones, so I'll have to get oem ones. Is it better to just replace the synchro that is grinding or all of them?
Front end is scratched up from lightly hittin a concrete embankment. Gap between the front end and the lip. ding on two doors and door mark on another. One good door. Some minor scratches on the back quarter.
brakes squeel every so often, when really hot.
clutch is new but kinda howls a bit on engagement.
back wiper motor is pretty useless and needs to be replaced.
slow leaky rear drivers tire.
mark from the antenna on my spoiler.
and now I gotta knockin comin from the head.

Ok so i got slight curbage on the passenger side wheels, and now with the new mods my main problem is just getting the car to run. It right now is running so rich it just puffs smoke that burns your nostrils. Luckily i dont drive it so dont worry. Ohh anyone wanna give me some advice let me know lol.
chipped front end despite not driving it in the winter (our paint sucks!). Tons of vibration noise inside. The occasional P0300. Brembos peeling badly. Had the spoiler replaced under warranty recently due to the clear coat coming off.
the only thing I am focused on fixing now is the Brembos but that is just a weekend project with some high temp paint.

My evo has Rock Chips and some minor scratches. I backed into some kids Eclipse GSX when I first got the car at a meet. He was pissed but we didn't claim the insurance, I just had my body guy fix his car. I left the damage, my quarter has a small wrinkle right by the wheel cut out, rolling the fenders will hide the damage. I got some scratches by my passenger side door on the side skirt. The tires are shot, the brakes are getting worn out, the oil needs to be changed, I need to was it. And the car still accelerates like a cannon ball out of the barrel.
Rock chips 3 days after getting it (practicing flick turns on dirt road 
) Scratches on the right rear fender putting it in storage the day before I came to Iraq and the worst part.... having $5000 worth of parts sitting in San Antonio and my car is in ALASKA!

The wiring to my battery is under my UICP and looks like a birds nest when I removed that brass wire-holding bracket toput in a smal battery.
1 tiny scrape on the front bumper from a rock, I really lay on the wax on all my leading edges. I hate hearing rock/leaves hit my car.
I put a tiny scratch on the dash near the bezel, when installing an orbital kit.
I have the right side of my underpanel ziptied up because I broke the pop-rivet screw things yesterday, and cant get any until next week!
Bugs ALWAYS in my intercooler fins,
The god awful fan turns on and off like its nobodys business, get a temp and stay with it! It switches back and forth every 10 seconds!
I have a 10w7 and no dynomat.
I cant align the LICP perfectly, Im working on that when I get those rivets.
The mesh on my seats absorbs dirt.
I need it de-badged but dont have a hair dryer.
The stock rear bumper is Ugly by nature.
My girlfriend is jealous of it.
she doesnt understand why the dog CANNOT get inside/near etc.
Every civic/accord/tiburon/wrx/mustang/f150 lightening and srt8 charger in the greater tri-state area thinks I want to race them.
whew, theres more but Im tired.
