3400 miles my number 1 bearing spun breaking my piston rod and trashing my engine, no mods, i don't race or launch the car, and i broke it in like a champ, had new engine replacement, even with this unexpected situation i still love the car, but for a while (while driving A mitsu Gaylant rental) i was contemplating why i didn't buy a STI.

 

You got to remember its not an evo 8 for no reason, theirs 7 before it. The evo 8 is just the first 1 in the united states, I think they would have corrected any of the problems by the 7, considering its almost identical.

 

I had to pick yes, but that's only because of the weak clutch and my bad driving.

 

im sure you dident do anything wrong

 

Little things. Nothing major. Would not trade the king for nothing.

 

i've put close to 10,000 miles on it with 95n and dc traffic. handles like a gem.

 

19,000 miles and no major problems. Only real things I have noticed are rattles and little noises but nothing worth worrying about.

 

Only at 1,200 miles... Only problem was a missing seat recliner adjuster knob, missing rear seatbelt male part (I don't know how a manufacturer could let this slip), broken air box clip, missing intake clip. Just got everything taken care of today at the dealer, except the seatbelt. I'm not sure if I want it replaced. Don't you have to rip up the whole backseat to ad this part??? Well, better these minor things than powertrain problems.

 

11k and no problems that aren't directly related to my mods.
I do however have the suspension "clunk" noise. But thats no big deal in my mind.

50k and no problems other than clutch at 18k, a few mods, it's got 279 whp.
Love it a lot!

 

24,000 clutch is going and the car has a rattle (still not sure what it is) and transmission grinds when shifting

 

no real probs. 04 free manitanance 3yrs/45000 miles. down to putting air in the tires my dealer takes car of even with my mods. 12000 on it now and no probs. by the way they change the oil every 5000 miles for free and in between for $30 with mobil 1.
I got it made.
and if you are wondering my mods all done by me:
injen air intake & ic pipe
hallman mbc 20
10 inch racing plug wires
full line of gauges
work cr + racing lugs 18x8.5
eslipser cat back
hks headder
3" DP
and more i dont feel like listing just in case I see you on the street

 

if it is when you ease off the gas after high reving or low speeds it is either the cat conv. or the heat sheild on the turbo/headder

 

Everything that has broken on my Evo I have broken. Clutch just went not that it was burnt but it simpy could not hold the WHP I was putting through it. Random ratlles disapear as teh car wars up.

Biggest surprise is my Evo's Suspension went at about $43,000 Miles. The front right Strut completely blew and leaked out all of the oil. I also commuted 120Miles a day and drove agressively. It is no wonder the front right blew as that is where the car gets the worst part of the road with the most weight on it. I predict that there will be some major issues with other NON-MR Evo's in the future, I drive alot, I have MILES on the car. My right rear was starting to blow too but no doubt for the same reasons + I drove on it for a month so it was holding the car up.

I have Coilovers now.

 

Looking at a used EVO this weekend. Just had a quick question. Are all the problems dealing with the clutch/ transfer case all under warranty? Has anyone had to pay some serious amount of money to have there EVO fixed or is everything replaceable under warranty? What parts are not warrantied?

Thanks

John
