Just an update:

For work they asked me to drive to Saratoga springs,NY to work on a car and come back down to work when I was done with that. Of course they couldn't get me a loaner. They paid for food,tolls,and E-85

The total amount driven today alone was 435miles, car didn't miss a beat

Im about to buy an evo 8 2003 with 130 000miles. What you suggest me to watch?

The clutch just been changed, HKS timing belt done,... But having some trouble on idle ( missfire i guess ) sound like if i had a cam. Rough idle.

what you think?

Question is does it have a cam swap..

You can start with the basics, really though, make sure the person who did the belt service did it correctly for that idle problem(might be off a tooth)

Good Luck
