I work on cars for a living so of course I do all my own work on my Evo. I did take it to the dealer to get the front calipers replaced under warrenty though.

39 members so far guys. I just really wanted to start a thread like this just to really find out how many evo guys did their own work. Being on the interent and especially on a forum like this, I tend to take everyone's advice with a grain of salt. Who can you really trust??? How do we know if your really a grease monkey or not??? Hence forth, the grease monkey crew!!! So gentlemen proudly display your member status in your signature!
