Evo FNG
Hey,
Just introducing myself. I just made the switch from a wrx to an evo X and let me just say I can't believe what i was missing. I'm in fairfax va and looking for good tuners or parts shops so feel free if you want to post any suggestions. I got my evo used with 16K on it completely stock and I can't wait to start modding it.
Short story in here I oicked up my evo cast Saturday brought it back to have them wet sand some scratches that were on it before i bought it... When I go to pick it up.... The detailed sanded the edge of the door so much took paint off down to the metal... On the other side he went so deep into the clear coat that e color is mismatched. This is just a warning to others beware of browns manassas Subaru. Other than that I am loving my car again any hints or suggestions let me know!
Ohh I do have a question, is there supposed to be a small knock in the sfter when going into third? Not engine knock just a small knock like the shifter is hitting something under the boot. Thanks all and looking forward to getting up to Atleast 375 real soon.

Yea it is stock, I'll see about that there are only abbot 16.5 k on the car. I'm going to research scheduled services now to get an idea of how often everything needs to be done

The scheduled services include the drivetrain fluids being flushed every 15k miles. Chances are, if your car has that many miles, it will need that service as the prior owner may have skipped out on that before letting it go. I doubt the dealership would've done it.

Thanks guys I checked out the spreadsheet posted in the other forum I'm actually gonna print it out. I need to look over the extended warranty I bought with it. The way it was explained fluids and tire rotations are included so I might just have em take care of it when I drop the car off on Friday for them to get the doors painted. I never would have thought a dealership would ihave a detailer so incompetent as to strip down the clear coat that low and take paint off door edges to the metal.. I'm still open to any one that knows good tuners near fairfax, stafford, McLean areas. Thanks again.
