Welcome to the forum. As others have stated check out www.norcalevo.net
I'm located next door in Fairfield. Please tell me you didn't take the car to Fairfield Mits. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.
There are plenty of good places in the Bay Area to take the car if you need. If you need a dealership to take the car to i would recommend San Rafael Mits in (oddly enough) San Rafael. The owner Snorre runs a nice place.

Welcome to the forum. Pics of your car and you would be nice.
Also let me get this straight, Works installed 2 clutches in your car and they both failed and began to slip? That sounds very strange. How many miles in between clutches? Did you abuse the clutch by doing a lot of hard launches?
and are you a milf?

Well, first on an 03 I wouldn't be worrying to much about a warranty. You probably don't have one anyway, or not much of one.
Second, mitsu voids your warranty on the evo as soon as gas is put into the tank.
Third, an aftermarket clutch cannot in and of itself void your warranty. After 12k miles or so you no longer have a warranty on the clutch anyway, and they can't legally void your warranty on the rest of the car because of it.
Basically they wanted you to buy a clutch from them and pay for them to install it, and you did. Once your car has been flagged for PERFORMANCE modifications it will NEVER be removed.
Sorry.

Another leg humping thread.
Enjoy the EVO, it's yours now and anything that go's wrong with it, will come out of your pocket. You'll need to find a shop that knows EVO's, WORKS is very expensive, I'm sure there's others around your area. Go to one of those meets up there and some of those guys should be able to help you out.
I would look in to at least a Stage 1 (TBE, MBC, Drop-In and a walbro FP) and get it tuned ASAP.
When you can, post some pics in the "Show and Shin" section, I'm sure you have some beautiful back grounds areas to do so.

Thanks, I went over to Fairfield and talked with the service rep just to get a feel and I did not like it, so I did end upn San Rafael, Peter and Leonard are the ones who did the work. They were a hour away, but worth the drive and time.
