I think I might set my 2step to like 3k/5k just so they can't beat the crap out of it.
let me know how it went for you at the dealership. had some maintainance work done there before. they seemed ok.

Well when I dropped it off I saw another evo in the bay. It was a silver 8. He said the guy was selling it and was getting stuff fixed for the sale, he also said it was a mess and not in that great of condition.

I got a call and he said they'll need it for 1-1.5 weeks for parts . The timing belt tensioner and hopefully the belt are getting replaced. The he said the RD ABS sensor needs replaced which I know it doesn't but I don't think he tore into yet just a preliminary guess. It needs the ABS ring replaced which I assume means a new axle. I'm gonna call him back and tell them to replace the serpentine belt while they're in there sicne it's 5k overdue .

Just got another call and he asked if I wanted my timing belt replaced . So they're not replacing that under warranty, which I guess is expected as there is nothing wrong with the actual belt. So they're going to replace the timing belt and serpentine belt both with free labor woot. Considering I was going to get the serpentine belt replaced soon anyway this kinda came at a good time as now I don't have to pay labor.

Just turned 35k 2 days ago.

The timing tensioner is making the same noise on quite a few evos. I've searched it on here and youtube it's almost always the tensioner.
