when i hit the dealership it went straight to service center and the used car mechanic with me along side and here's what happend

i found that the oil filter cap was the wrong size, there was no o-ring for the oil pan and a broken oil temp sensor
first thing was an free oil change. No metal shavings (a lot off my mind)
figured out that metal shavings were normal (me being 17 and stupid0

a lose clamp around the left front axle (exactly what it was) which was cause a leak which was making that "clunking noise". It was tightened and no more clunking noise

Free tail lights that they ordered when were first they buying the car

and them saying there was nothing wrong with the clutch

so... someone is lying to me either it's goodyear saying about the shavings from the oil pan and a mitsu dealer ship and their list of repair parts or the car dealership. And all of them want money

so i decided to drive the evo less, do oil changes myself after the winter, and keep a closer eye on it.

oh and i've been getting hell from the mom ever since the start she hates mitsu
she was born in Maylasia and she always tells me "when i was growing up nobody wanted a Mitsu because they were crap(with a chinese accent to top it off)"

and anyone around Canton, Akron or Cleveland pm me please i would like your opinion when you drive my evo
My whole side of my mother's family lives in Canton, Akron and Heartville area. My grandmother lives @ the Congress Lake Club. But I won't drive my evo 400 miles, one way, to go visit them

Thats classic. The evo is the most reliable car for me to date, even with all of the upgrades
