I'm asking for your guys opinion, I have a 03 evo that has 68,xxx miles on it, should I drive it to LA or will it be too much milage and wear on the brakes and clutch.

 

Drive it. I just drove mine from NY to miami, Fl with no problem. All highway road anyway, so don't worry about clutch and brakes. Just make sure she has her fluids.

 

I drove from Baltimore to Cleveland then Cleveland to Seattle then from Seattle to Phoenix and then back to Seattle. Should be just fine. Just take it easy.

 

YOu should be fine. Get it checked before you leave so hopefully you won't have any suprises on the road.

 

Yeah man you should be good. make sure all the fluids are topped and tighten all your clamps on the IC piping so you dont blow any off while boosting
check tires, spare all the normal jazz for a road trip. Remember the evo is after all a car so it should make all your trips as a normal car would, we are just blessed with one of the best motors ever built and suspension to boot

 

when u planning on making the trip down to LA? im heading to Sac sept 1 or 3rd. lmk whats up

 

I road tripped in mine down to Long Beach, CA last year. I was glad I took it instead of the SUV.

 

i think you'll be fine too....

 

Mapquest the route, it will tell you the mileage, if you feel that is more than you want to put on it, don't drive it....

Its all freeway/highway driving so there will be very minimal wear on the clutch and brakes.

The most wear you're going to get will be you're ***, I drove to San Francisco when I moved there, and it is a trip to for sure, and its way less then to L.A.

 

Unless you enjoy resting your foot on your clutch pedal while you drive, you'll be fine. C'mon, the Evo isn't that fragile! As others have said, get your fluids checked - I assume you have done your 60k. If not, I would suggest so.

 

My *** was so sore from the trip to vegas....



None of you ***** better re-quote that....

 

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

 

LMAO! that is signature-quality quoting right there!

 

if you maintain your car you should be fine. it stinks not having cruise control though. i slide my right foot further back on long trips so the gas pedal isnt as touchy. it helps, but my ankle still gets sore.

 

took mine from Phoenix to Baltimore and was a blast. I plan to do a "Around the CONUS rim run" as well next summer. Not an official run, just something I've been thinking about. But as everyone has already suggested do your preventive maintenance and roll... enjoy..
