I am 99.9% sure that this has been covered numerous times but i couldnt find anything WITH the search, so please dont flame me. I am looking into getting a evolution 9 and I am currently wondering what some of the things are that I should know beforehand as far as maintenance goes.
I am asking because it is a turbocharged car and it is a mitsu(im coming from dsm's). Is there any extra maintenance that goes along with these cars in addition to oil changes, etc.
thanks.

 

it's a good daily driver....4 doors, decent on gas, all wheel drive. what else could you want

 

Mine is DD but gas millage on it is ok.

 

Nothin special about it, just follow the recommended Maintenance schedule, I've been goin strong for 28k on my IX, and no problems yet, knock on keyboard....lol.

 

Nice, yea this is what I thought but I was reading a few other boards that said that the evo took more maintenance than the usual car, so I had to ask.

 

It does. They were not lying.

 

It doesn't take more maintenance than another car... It takes more expensive maintenance.

If you plan on doing track days and the like, find yourself a spare set of wheels and get some decent all-weather tires for it so you're not burning through expensive tires quickly, and invest in oil analysis from Blackstone to look at extending your oil change intervals.

 

53845 and mine is a daily

 

well if it's a DD then you'll be fine. and as long as you're doing basic maintenance yourself and following the schedule then you'll be fine.

 

I bought my Evo so I could go down to 1 car instead of owning 2.
