Let's see

1.) Did a tranny rebuild already with only 70k on it. And I've never tracked it. Just a daily driver. Replaced the clutch a second time then too.

2.) My car was possessed at one point. Windshield wipers would turn on randomly, even when there was no rain. You should've seen the looks I would get sometimes. Fixed after hard-wiring the C-124 as described here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=252161

3.) Turbo timer currently just shuts off early by itself sometimes. Currently searching the forums for a resolution.

4.) Knicks on the hood.

5.) A bit of peeling on the carbon fiber spoiler.

6.) Scratches on the roof.

7.) First gear still whines a bit even after rebuild.

8.) I'm sure there's more not coming to mind atm

I'm starting to wear down the driver's side door panel from where my elbow rests.

Not the lower fabric, but the topside. It looks like someone melted it with a lighter.


Aside from the usual cosmetics, I have 73k miles, stock clutch, stock plugs, never needed a tranny rebuild, etc.

Been lucky so far.

1. Downpipe rattles on the croossbar (once in a blue),
2. ridiculous amount of mods but stock ecu,
3. driver front axle boot has a tear,
4. stinking HID headlights are at the highest point and still dont see well.
5. couple chips on the oem front bumper(but its only on during winter anyway).
6. some curbage on a rim but i got it like that.
7. chip on the hood

im surprised i havent read of any brembos or wings peeling. those are usually the most common.

1. Service engine light for secondary O2 sensor, waiting on tactrix cable
2. SRS light because my SRS recorder is unplugged and I can find a picture of which plug goes where to plug them back in correctly and I am afraid to plug them in incorrectly.
3. Low ACD fluid indicator intermittantly because one of the hoses leak, and I have been waiting for a replacement from Mitsubishi since Dec 28th.
4. Running just wastegate pressure waiting an a boost controller that UPS lost.
5. Mysterious squeaky sound coming from front left suspension only under braking.
6. Cluster backlight does not match a/c controls backlight

I have the exact same problem!! I also have some scratches in the plastic door handle where I would try to grab my phone sitting there and miss.

Cigerrete lighter will not light unless I hold the damn thing down and the ring around it does not illuminate. I suspect boost leak and my passenger side strut is going out. Other than that ther car is tip top.
