How much is your budget?I think there is not so much different between price in US n japan.But if have good luck, u can get 2nd hand parts which is still new and cheap.
I afraid to fix my problems here because 3 times I went to dealer all of them give me 3 different reasons of my problem.And here in Japan the labour cost is veru expensive especially for a student like me.

Well I can't find pipes for my Evo 5 RS. I called some places and they say they have pipes for Evo 6s and they are not the same. I'm looking for something around $300. Its probably the CV Joint, it makes a clicking noise when u turn right?

Its the CV joint, just checked with an expert. You can get a CV joint for about $350, don't know how many yen that is.

Wait, here's an exact figure from the 'Net:
Live mid-market rates as of 2004.10.22 16:58:52 GMT. 350.00 USD
United States Dollars = 37,595.16 JPY
Japan Yen 1 USD = 107.415 JPY 1 JPY = 0.00930971 USD
usually with a clicking noise its because the the cv joint split and the axle went bad. make your money stretch by Getting it checked by a reputable, independent mechanic. instead of mitsubishi doing checking it.

Ya dude, have another mechanic check it. Cause if I took i to Mitsubishi, they would tell me everything needs to be changed even if it was a broken bolt or something.
