After numerous useless reflashes from Mitsu and annoying moments of "check engine" warnings, I finally resolved the issue. I got rid of the POS! And replaced it's space in the garage for this.....

It certainly doesn't perform anywhere close to that of the Evo. But for what it lacks in speed and agility is made up in refined stlye and comfort.

I do miss the performance and fun factor from the Evo but I just couldn't endure the headache from p0300. I was tempted into purchasing an 05 MR but after my experience with Mitsu I believe the Evo was my last and final Mitsu.

I want to thank you all for making this forum a very entertaining and informative web site. Although I may have switched reigns I am still a car enthusiast and if it werent for my bad experience I would have kept the 8!

Aloha....and happy/safe motoring

LoL... I think I had your car as my desktop pic for a while, was it the one with the Guiness in the Show/Shine section.

Dude that is one funnny pic...

I get that code about 2 times a month no biggee for me since I love the car,granted it shouldnt be doing that from the factory.

Youll come back sooner or later :). You got a taste of speed theres no turning back :)

OH so nice! I would say you are done with the P300 for good!

Nice!

nice BMW. Thinking of a M5 my self since I can get one for Auction price. I work at one. I may test the sti first since I can get an 05 for just over 20g in mint condition. Without question mitsh sucks but the Evo to me is like the oxygen in my life. I just cant do without it. I have tried parking it for a mth and drive another car like a sti, srt, gto and others since i have access to alot of them; but I just dont get that feeling from any of them. Still holding on to mine for now.

Nuff said; hope you got a friend that will let you drive theirs

{offtopic} i think i see a stewart...whats the yellow one? i hope we get some swell of this super typhon on the asian coast.

if your surfing in trunks your lucky. 5.4.3 xcel right now, getting close to wearing gloves.

Good eye! The white board is a 9' Stewart "Hydro Hull". Very fun board, very agile and responsive; geared toward performance.

The yellow board is a 9'4" Chrinstensen (local shaper in San Diego). This is my ultimate summer board. Old school design, single fin and lots of glass. Excellent noserider and perfect for those really small days.

What's not pictured is my 5'7" lost "roundnose fish" I primarily use this board when the waves are at least waist to head high. Very fun board on good days

Water In San Diego is still in the mid to higher 60's. I'm still "trunking" it but I think tomorrow i'll be wearing my spring suit.

sorry to hear about your evo

Not only will you not have any p0300 issues, but you can also read your speedometer without using a microscope.

What is the big deal about an 0300 code anyway - just ignore it or diconect your battery if it annoys you.

People need to understand that Mitsubishi is triying to bring us an ultra high performance machine and make it comply with idiotic emissions requirements of the CARB.

LOL! Damn dude... Well you just traded performance for luxury. Something very few of us would do. But good luck with your new BMW!!

The point is it shouldn't happen. Ignore it and how do you know if there is something else wrong without checking the codes every other day? Not everyone has apocket logger or feels like going to autozone all the time. That's kind of an ignorant comment from a "tuner".

I live in California and the state is incredibly strict with emissions. I was happy with the way the evo performed out of the factory and other than a cat-back exhaust I had no intentions on modding further. What ANNOYS me is that the vehicle SHOULDN"T be throwing p0300 codes. It is very ANNOYING when the check engine light flicks on and the car stutters momentarily while driving. It ANNOYS me that I had to disconnect my battery on a regular basis just to reset the ecu. It's a BIG DEAL thinking that should I have my vehicle tested for smog it would fail and pay huge fines because of P0300. Finally I'm annoyed because p0300 was a problem that should of never happend and Mitsu couldn't fix it. I considered about reflashing the ECU from aftermarket companies but I read some threads that you cant fix it either.........aint that a biyatch! :lol:
