i was just looking over the service manual and noticed a note stating that at the 60k mark: For California, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, this maintenance is recommended but not required to maintain the emissions warranty.
At 105k: This maintenance is not required if previously replaced.
So what does this mean for the rest of us that arent in these states? Is it required or not at 60k...i know its recommended but why is there a note saying to do it at 105k?
i know this isnt an answer to the OP'er but i believe it falls into the same lines of saving money and having more time to prepare for an expense of a required maintenance action.

is stating that changing the timing belt is not an emissions warrantied service. In other words, you don't get the work done for free.
WoW i couldnt imagine spending that much for a timing belt... thats insane. I got the timing belt package from Massimo power (great deal on that!) and i installed it myself. was there also a 60k service they charged you for? fluids oil change ect...?

Schaller Mistubishi, New Britain CT, yeah i know i got owned, but hey it was done right and that is worth some peace of mind. Once the warranty is up trust i will bring it somewhere else. But you know how mitsubishi is about other techs touching there cars.
They think that they are the only ones qualified or something

I'm looking at a used EVO 8 and it hasn't had the timing belt done. I was wondering how much it'd cost (on average) to have it done at a dealer or at a performance shop (CBRD is only 1.5 hours away).
I was also thinking of doing camshafts in the car right away, should I just do that at the same time too?
Thanks
