That's normal unless you have catch cans installed.

There have been a few Evo 8s locally that have needed new valve seals around the 100k mark. The ACD pumps are prone to failure as well.

I haven't really heard of anything that I'd consider unusual, especially for vehicles that are driven as hard as these are.

 

Yea the fans usually stay on when its warm and you have been driving hard. It helps cool the engine bay. They shut off after about 5 mins.

And I think you have the stock tune right? That is the culprit of you crappy idle.

 

Yep, but not much longer.

Thanks for the responses guys.

 

I have an 05' 8 and I've heard of the acd pump failing. What exactly happends when it fails?

 

Ive got over 46K on my 08 X

 

Miles are necessarily a bad thing. The way I figure is you buy a car so that you can drive it. Some people have exotic cars such as Ferrari's, lambo's, or porsche's and they can't drive them 10,000 miles without having to do some type of maintenance. Some people like keeping low miles on the clock and there is nothing wrong with that but also at the same time do you plan on having those parts on the car stock forever? For example the motor. If you plan on having the car for awhile and modding the car you eventually may have to do a motor build therefore even if your car has 100k miles the motor would be brand new again lol

 

We sold ours back in August with 1,500 miles on it. 2008 GSR w. SSS.

 

Got mine June 08 have 14,353

 

I agree with mlomker. This is probably just oil coming through the recirc line between the valve cover and the intake. Nothing to worry about if it's just light oil.

 

Just hit 18k

 

Mine is a 08 with 43k on it. I bought it in May and have put 14k on it in the past 6 months. It's running well and has been 350 awhp with stock clutch for over 30k miles.

 

mine is 08 X and i just hit 8k miles

 

62k and some change on mine 08

 

good to hear. it just seemed that everybody was like well below 20k.

 

My 08 has 3800 miles and I put 3200 miles on it the first two weeks I owned it. So 2yrs 600 miles.
