what kills...

Just wanted to know, what are some things you think or know that'll "kill the evo". not as in racing but as in: unsuitable parts, short drives, bad set-ups, terrain, weather... anything you think that'll "kill the evo". post it up... your opinions...experiences. might even help some of the new guys like myself with future problems.

Poor maintenance up keep, improper modifications, not tuning properly, not checking the oil on a regular basis.
