UNOFFICIAL: What have you had to fix or replace on your EVO???

This thread is simple, post the year of your car... what mileage you bought it at and what is it at now, what you have had to fix or replace... why it needed to be...how much did it cost...and do you DD the car, track it... or both etc. Here is an example:

YEAR: 2004
Mileage: Brand new
Mileage (Current): 53,000
FIX/REPLACE: Clutch (34,000) because I don't know how to drive and it cost about $1,400 installed, 4th/5th Gear grind because I suck and it cost about $1,100 to fix.
Drive style: I drive the **** out of it as a DD, some auto X and a road course or two a year

Here is a template thinger you can copy and past in the reply...

YEAR:
Mileage:
Mileage Current:
FIX/REPLACE:
Drive style:
