So, how many hours did that take? It has got to be a record.

I blew that hose the other day and I was less than ten miles from home. Down the shoulder I went, four-ways flashing and bellowing black smoke at 5 mph (actually the speedometer always read zero, I was going too slow to move the indicator). That trip home took the better part of an hour. Of course I had my wife along so she could say every couple of minutes, "This is terrible, what are we going to do?"

LICP at the coupler that connects to the intercooler as well for me, luckily I had a buddy that was following me and carry's tools with him everywhere he goes so i could take my front bumper cover off. Ended up being a loose clamp

'06 evo meticoulously maintained - out of the blue, the starter wouldn't engage. battery was fine. checked all relays (including the viper alarm relay) and the starter, found nothing wrong, put it all back together, and its working again.
