Do you work/build/tune your own evo ?
Only thing I have yet to do is a transmission rebuild and welding, but am actively working towards learning that. Otherwise, I do and own all the tools to do all my own work. I can also tune and have messed with my own tuning.
I do and have done everything on my car, other than tuning. I get so impatient with tuning lol. Plus its a lot of money at stake if I screw something up, so I will leave that for the pros.
I do every thing minus tuning and machine work only because I don't have the equipment necessary. Tuning is better left to someone who strives to be the best instead of someone who can do a little bit of adjustments here and there (me)
I do everything that I can that does not require special tools. (machining, welding, etc.) For the basic things, clutch install, turbo swap, timing/cams, etc I do myself. (including tuning)
i like to do as much as i can. so far i have done everything to the car except the cams and timing belt. i dont feel comfortable messing with timing yet.
i have had some pros tune the car but than i find myself tweaking/messing with the tune afterwards

I do everything(from engine builds to trans repair to fabrication) but tuning in my garage....I can make small adjustments to an existing tune but am by no means compfortable trying to do a full tune...
I do all my own work. Feel lucky to have a garage since it really is a necessity to do the job uninterrupted by the weather etc.
As for the tuning I'd suggest if your interested in doing some of your own tuning to get an e-mail tune and do some logging and tweaking on your own. The base tune is most important.

I put together my entire car. Motor, trans, head was built by the best, then I installed everything. Tuning is done by a good friends shop. I do fab my own things occaisionally
I do everything myself due to the way of the old school... not enough money to pay other people to do it, doing it yourself gives you boat loads of knowledge, and wanting to know every square inch of my car inside and out! Only things I dont do are mount my own tires and tune. I'm working on the tuning thing now though, so hopefully soon the only thing I wont do is tire installs.
