any DSM guys know of a good local shop as suggested? I'd agree in taking it to ER but it would be nice to at least have an understanding before driving the 2+ hours. Especially if they need the car there more than a day; you might be able to find someone that is headed that way/back and could bum a ride.

 

^ Pina?

 

^and here I was expecting you to say "emphasis on bum" or something like that!

 

**** bum cover?

 

Agree about ER. But if you need to stay local, call West Werks in Redmond. They are not a DSM shop per se but have worked on a lot of Evos. I've taken my car there for routine stuff for 3 years. They are not DSM/Evo tuners but should be able to do basic drive train stuff. Call and ask if they have experience doing what you need done, they won't BS you. And if they don't, maybe they can suggest another shop.

+1.

 

I would think any shop that is familar with SRT4s or neons in general would be able to help, it's a NT isn't it? because that whole powertrain is Chrysler not Mitsubishi.

 

yes, it is non turbo. like before, i know that it's leaking from the headgasket atleast, but then i still have the odd click in the left front tire i'm hoping i can get some opinions on that when i take it in to someone too.

but so far thanks for the advice everyone i'm hoping i'll get to take it out to someone this week to have it looked at and see if we can find out the other problems/noises.
