So the damage is two holes in the block, the crank is toast and four valves are jacked up. Hope this puppy gets put back together sooner than later

 

yep im broke to. sounds like a tuner thing!

 

Owned the car for 10 months...replaced 5th gear synchro/spring/throw-out bearing, slave cylinder, entire clutch assembly, vortex generator, whole car was re-painted, flywheel, my stock exhaust was severely bent in the rear so it needed to be replaced, didn't have a front lip so I bought one and had it painted, and the front license plate bracket was butchered so I had to replace that as well.....I baby my car, I got on it rarely and if so would maybe see 110mph at most.... I blame the owner before me for all the transmission/clutch issues.

 

My evo never breaks... super reliable, stock clutch, 68k miles and counting

 

Now that's just asking for it...

 

The accessory belt fell off last week while I was doing a pull down the highway... lost powersteering, waterpump, etc... fun times (when you are already going fast and now trying to safely slow down/pull off the road).

Regardless, somehow one of my brackets got stripped/loose, causing the belt to not have enough tension and eventually fall off... really strange stuff. I have never heard about that happening to anyone else on this forum... either way, it ended up needing a bracket replaced.

Oh, and for kicks, I have a random clunk sound coming from the passengers side front when first accelerating from a stop (but doesn't make the sound after that)... still trying to figure out what the hell that is... some mount of sort, i think...

 

how often does stuff break

 

almost melted my negative battery terminal. Charge pipe was resting on the starter positive wire when i put the neg back on the battery. Good i thing i knew what was up!

 

Halloween is coming up so i figured I'd raise this from the dead. So one of my co-workers pwned my car at the end of our shift. Dude destroyed the whole driver door. Well what have you guys broken?

 

Not broken but got a pretty gnarly exhaust leak between my block and manifold

 

Found two teeth shaved off the flywheel mounted to my Carbonetics Triple Disc Clutch. As long as the 3 discs are in good shape it will be a 700 fix, if the discs also need rebuild, time for new clutch, all which I inherited with my new/used veh purchase. thanks previous owner. Not to mention the header is cracked & the turbo is bad, car has 23k miles. Plus we found cylinder #3 is at 50% oil ring shot, oil getting by, stroker kit in the works + turbo, header, clutch.. yippe. Used car needed nothing though.

 

the only things i have needed replaced
set of tires
tcase blew up
wires
belt

 

not really broke but, clutch bleeder on slave cyl. seeped clutch needs to be filled and rebled.

 

In 10 months of ownership... blown headgasket, replaced knock sensor, replaced front o2 sensor, replaced TB shaft seals, and it looks like the IAC might be next.
