yup so if anyone is or knows sum1 selling a good condition evo 8 for under 16k plz msg me. trying to get my money back from the dealer for this POS then gonna be on the market for another evo8.

 

i sent you a link

 

Did you ever pull your head off to check things out?

 

nope. timing belt would be too big a hassle plus if it is a piston ring id have a lot more trouble on my hands. so imma try and get either my money back from the dealer even tho i bought it as is, or just try and get 15-16k for it. :\

got most of it back together, jus a lil bit of the wiring, intake, uicp, battery. and i broke off the bolt that holds the turbo oil line to the head, not sure how easy those r to get ahold of.

 

Let me know whats up man.

 

well, idk how its all gonna go after i fix it up but pretty much try and get what money i can back from the dealer, then since i owe 10k to navy fed somehow do sumthing to get them to send the title back to them, then take the money to you if you're willing, and somehow have your title back to navy fed. idk the confusiuon between all that. but its gonna be a lil hectic for me

 

Did a little searching and wasnt able to find anything specifically for VA on test pipes and special circumstances, i know they arent emissions friendly. My cars have always been registered out of state so ive never had to do an emissions test but my luck as soon as i get the test pipe ill get the call so what do you guys do?

 

Just take the test-pipe off, and put a cat back on, then put the test-pipe back on after you pass. Does not take long to swap it out.

 

thats what i do

 

some inspection place around va beach can pass u with the test pipe on.... but u gonna have to pay them like $50 to get it pass

 

I just swap it out too. four bolts in and out, it is just tight under the car if your just doin it on jackstands or a jack.

 

Thanks for the info guys ive been on the fence about going a full TBE and if its that easy i cant see a reason not too, and yeah all ive got is 2 jackstands.

 

Its easy man. Just learn how to play the game..

As for my Evo.. i have decided to keep it..

Im buying new bride seats, Voltex Widebody.. And going to take it down for winter and send out the drivetrain to shep racing to get redone.

 

troy whatever happened with your car at the dealer?

 

Happy Halloween guys N girls, Wish i could spend it stateside at some Mitsu meet haha.
