Did you have the car level when you checked it? How much came out?

Well Im saying goodbye to my evo of 3 years tomorrow. I got almost exactly what my orignal asking price was so Im quite happy. That was even after demodding it. I've already put a down payment on a new car and Im looking forward to a nice, more quiet/comfortable daily car. Pictures will come later next week.

It was pretty much level. It was up in the air on a lift. I'm not sure exactly how much came out, but it was alot. Like I said it chugged out for a good 10 seconds, and then a steady poor for a min. Plus I had oil all down the driveshaft and downpipe. I think this evo is cursed.

A lil update. I talked to John Shepherd today. Since there was so much fluid in the Tc, he told me to check the transmission fluid. And guess what, i think all the tranny fluid leaked into the tc. I had to add like 1 1/4 quarts of tranny oil. Ha 2 major problems at once tranny and engine. I need to go play chicken with a tree.

Ha so annoyed. So before i had all these problems to my car i ordered a set of Ohlins Stage III Road and Track coilovers. The day i found out i may have engine compression issues i tried to cancel the order, but they had already shipped. Now they are trying to charge me 20% restocking fee plus shipping. Restocking alone is $689.80 WTF!!! Maperformance is trying to talk Works down on there restocking fee. What do you think i should do? I would rather just sell them to somebody then give Works $ for free. I have not even opened the shipping box. I could just keep them, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to sell the car.

Guys, theres gonna be a detail meet on the 19th at TiC. You guys should come out and show some love, its free to attend, 5$ if you want to eat and 15$ to eat and get detailed. It works basically like an assembly line, theres a wash station, clay bar station, polish / wax and what not. Everybody works on each others cars and knocks them out pretty quick. You obviously don't have to work your *** off if you don't want to.


Come out and show some love, I will be there, and I'm assuming Brad will be too.
