Hm I'm not wingless and my Evo looks mostly stock. I'm usually in between Troy/Auburn Hills.

 

saw 2 evo's last night...(could be the same one tho...)

~5:45pm driving on north on Beck rd just past Grand River(freeway overpass lights)
dark gray...or black...can't remember 100% evo 9(?)...

then ~8pm parked at the commerce costco off haggerty rd between 14mile and 15 mile..
dk gray with an oregon plate...large fart can exhaust and black wheels with chrome/polished lip...also the trunk was debadged
i parked near that one, so i took some pics(horrible i know, but it's the best i could get...that's the best of 3)

 

Dang. It seams like every evo I see it isn't anyone on here except my neighbors haha

 

i know what you mean....lol
specially when you see evos or other mitsus here and there and u're like.."man, i wonder if they're on evom.."

 

Has anyone gotten the recall repair done on their Evo X? Any recommendations on where to go? I called Moran and I think I set up an appointment? He told me to be there at 8am on Saturday but didnt ask for name, number, or even what the recall was.

Always get a bad feeling dealing with dealerships, so was curious on others experiences.

 

personally i dont like moran...
i worked with one of their previous service managers for 1 yr at my current shop...he left moran and came here at jaguar, and then went back to moran and got fired after a month(from what i heard)

i went there 2 times and they charged me 1 hr for a reflash(and "free" diag) that did nothing when my 04 ralliart was acting up(randomly it would loose communication with the throttle position sensor and would go to failsafe mode and go a max of ~20mph...happened twice in a month so i took it in)...

they told me there is a reflash and that my car needs it...the next day it did it again...they charged me another 1hr diag to tell me it needs a throttle body and throttle position sensor...

so i left and tried looking for the parts on my own and found them (of course) for like half the price...but still out of my price range since they just charged me ~$210....and it never did it again...i drove it for 3 yrs after that and sold the car last spring

also 3 different times i went to them trying to buy a new mitsu and the ONE mitsu salesman(not even in the mitsu building) couldn't make a good enough deal(granted that's not really on the svc dept tho)...he offered me half of what i was asking for my car(which was the kbb he told me it was worth to him)...and then tried to offer me almost double the payment that i was trying to get into...for a base model lancer in manual that they didn't even have in stock and would have to dealer trade for or order, or a base model outlander sport also in manual which miraculously they DID have in stock...

i don't have experience with any other mitsu dealers but i know there's another one on michigan ave near merriman rd(IIRC) and i THINK theres one in ann arbor somewhere...
personally i'd refer you to one of those because of my experiences at moran

 

Make sure u talk to Craig on the phone first, he is thier mitsu master tech and usualy or I should say in the past he had handled all of the warranty work done on my previous evo's.
I highly recommend his work!

ps. I dont think Moran is open on the weekends, unless thier schedule has changed recently.
goodluck

 

There website says they are so thats why I called them (didnt want to have to either take a vacation day or figure something out for work to get this fixed). The guy on the phone said they dont, but when I asked why their website says they do he put me on hold and asked if the tech would work next sat. He agreed and said to come in at 8. I am going to call again next week just to be sure since its about an hr drive for me. Ill make sure to ask for Craig.

 

i live in around Grand Rapids... 2 h from Detroit... did not see any X yet..just me

 

I saw a black X on Sunday after thanks giving going west in 96 past Lansing by the exit for south 69. About early afternoon.

 

Up in Bay City here. I've been known to tool around Lansing and Detroit area. Any meetups happening through the winter?

 

when the weather warms back up you might catch my tb 8 around the brighton, milford areas. KCCO

 

Thumb Area... Car is in storage, so the big blue Ram is out. Anyone thinking about boycotting the NAIAS again this year?

 

I think I have seen it around a couple times during summer. I believe on m59 and 23 but is was awhile ago.

 

Anyone know of a good place to get an alignment after lowering car in the Clarkston/Auburn Hills area (within 30 min or so)?

Appreciate any input.
