Evo owner's repair or pay to repair Poll
 
Just wanted to know out of all of the members that owns evo's, how many do there own installations. General maintanance to.

Also, how many pay for installs and G.M. service.

I do all my own maintance, dont trust the stealerships. As far as getting a tune, I recomend a good perfomance shop in your local area.

Do everything myself, from clutch and cam installs to motor swaps and rebuilds. Luckly Im an aircraft mechanic so I have access to all the tools I would ever need plus lifts and things of that nature.

i have done everything myself but tuning.

Considering that I'm stock except for a drop-in air filter and a Dynoflash tune, I can't really answer the question accurately. As far as routine maintenance goes, I pay to have someone do the oil changes. It's worth $15 to have someone else do it. Now I did pay the dealership to do the 30,000 mile service. But after seeing them do it I am not in the mood to pay hundereds of dollars the next time around. I'm going to do that myself. Major things I won't touch because I simply don't have the know-how or the equipment (clutch, major engine work, brakes, etc.)

I work at my fathers shop, so its easier to install stuff my self, Although i haven't modded my Evo yet, I do all the MAintence and install parts on other Evos. So when i get my TBE i am putting it in.

I can do turbo swaps, suspension stuff, all bolt ons, world class competition sound systems. But as far as pulling out the engine and tranny, I leave that to the pros.

BBYBruno Oct 3, 2006 06:03 PM

Anything having to do with turbo/engine I pay for. Never had time to learn. I can just do all the stupid stuff.

WarpFactorVIII Oct 3, 2006 06:10 PM

Most everything I can and will do myself however internal engine work and the clutch change I will pay to do mainly because its a Pain in the A$$ and I rather not deal with it
