Hmmm, never thought of that. Could be the solution to both problems.

Well, I had cruise installed in my car and I think it's a great long distance car as a result. Those seats are supportive over the long haul.. much better than virtually everything else out there.

What type of cruise? Mine that they installed yesterday is all F'ed up! Set it to 60 and it starts ossilating first from 55 to 65, but then it rapidly progresses to swinging between 40 and 80 before I jab the brakes and bring an end to the crazzyness. I will be taking the car back today and demanding that they either fix it, or remove it and give me a full refund. I think they just f'ed up and programed it for a Lancer.... not a Lancer Evolution.

Also, be sure to carry some tools with you.

If you haven't had your intercooler hoses pop off, it's just a matter of time.

The one connecting to the TB is particularly notorious for being loose.

You will hear a loud "pop" and then the car will want to turn off on you unless you press the accelerator pedal.

I believe a 10mm socket wrench is what you would need to re-tighten it???
