Hi i would like to introduce my self, my name is Stuart and i am looking to get a evo 9mr in the upcoming month. I really want to know what problems you guys have with the car and how good Mitsubishi backs up with the problem..

Also whats a good exhuast,chip, and bov to get for the car..

Thanks alot..

 

welcome to the forum Stuart. there is a lot of info here that will show u the way.problems i have from the car are the normally stuff oil change tire change wheel alignment, unless u just start beating it then u might see axles brake trans and transfer case problems. i did blow my motor but i will take all the blame for that.good luck

 

The IX MR has no problems in stock form for street use, as you start modifying you'll find the stock clutch will not hold more than about 325whp reliably. The MR 6 speed has also had a few 4th gear failures but these have all happened on the race track with modified cars (mostly road track). Since the car your buying is used check for signs of abuse or neglect, such as grinding in the transmission, transfer case whine, etc. Also, The timing belt on a Evo needs to be replaced at 60K miles. Changing the clutch on a 6 speed car can be a bear.

2nd owners do not inherit the 5yr/60K bumper to bumper, 10yr/100K powertrain warrany, although if you get one with low miles it may still have some warranty left. You might check with the dealer to make sure the warranty has not been previously voided due to modification. In general, Mitsubishi service / customer relations is not very good but it varies from dealer to dealer.

 

thanks guys, do they come in auto also?

Whats a good exhuast,Chip, and of course the bov?

 

IX MR in AUTO? Are you joking?

 

... no

 

ah i just wanted to know, becasue i dont much about the car..

 

08 Evo X MR is the first USDM Evo with a Auto. The factory ECU is already re-writeable so there's no "chip". There are tons of exhaust and tuning threads. Start with these newbie thread / stickys.
