2 years, 2 evos and 2 shops later I'm super happy with my Evo. I didn't choose the right shop to start and it cost me about 30g x2 to find out the hard way.

The longest for me was 2 months 1 week. This was due to the fact my car was stolen and wrecked (totalled). I had to come "out of pocket" to buy a new one ( as this was during the beginning of the economic down-turn and it was almost impossible to get a loan with a decent interest rate).

It came off the road last September for some work, then winter hit in December ...

It should have been out April 1st but I'm waiting on one more part.

I'm on my 3rd week right now, another 4-8 weeks to go.

I tore my Achilles Tendon in my left ankle, just had surgery last week. Before surgery I couldn't even push the clutch in without a TON of pain.

Why anybody stores an Evo in the winter is beyond me. There is no more fun than an Evo in the snow! Your loss.

1.5 weeks in the body shop due to me being an idiot, also a wrong part was delivered by Mitsu..

Drove my brothers Scion xB in the meantime and it felt so good getting back in the EVO..
