lessons you've learned when working on your Evo

Most girls HATE that word...but not my girl. She loves to be verbally and physically abused...until she breaks. Then I yell at her some more. Moral of the story, persistence is key.
Also, giving the car a thorough once over looking for worn parts when you are changing the oil will prevent failures and down time. If you notice something is worn, order it and replace before it fails and leaves you stranded.
Also, change the fluids on time. The diff and tcase especially don't hold a lot of fluid for what they are.

[/INDENT]i have two of the "pot metal" caps that go on the MIVEC cam gear, a grip of copper washers, all turbo-related gaskets, nuts, bolts... you name it LOL. my garage wall is stocked better than the dealership. haha

. Fsm is your friend. Don't live in the rust belt. Solder joints are weaker and more prone to failure that crimped pins. Buy the correct tools for the job. If you don't know ask and take pics. If something sounds wrong/broken it is.
