Hey my post count is always saying "17".. I've posted a lot more than 17 times on here.lol Anyway, have you guys ever heard of the Intake Air Temp sensor going out? Happened to me while I was driving on the highway and now it doesn't even get into boost properly. The bov is non-existant! Anyway, I threw the code P0113 and from what I researched, it was always some type of dirty intake filter or dirty MAF. I bought cleaner for them both and no success (which is why I missed the damn XXX Burger meet..so sad). I had the Mitsu dealer order a new sensor which should be here by the end of the week. Anyway, have any of you heard of cases like the IAT Sensor going out? Is it common?

I will come back here again, definatly recommended.
The owner also said he's have had forum meets in the past there for installing parts.
good to know, thanks for the update. I'll be going there for my next oil change.. and prolly rear sway install at the same time




update on my bumper

Hope you know that people writing on your car is scratching your paint. not bad for white/silver cars but black and darker colors it's noticeable

I wouldn't go to speedware, many people here have had bad experiences. Clarks Wheel alignment (http://www.insiderpages.com/b/372338...nment-kirkland) has done fantastic work for a lot of people, and if you're down south then I think jnut24 can do it

^ yea, I think whatever you get in that price range will perform about the same, but fortune has a presence on these forums I believe and they are based in the US (?) so they'll have better customer service

Hey guys I'm moving to Washington in a couple months and wanna know are there any good tuner shops in the Lakewood/Tacoma/Seattle area? I'm leaving an area (Fort Bragg) where there is an awesome shop (SpecOps Motorsports) and I'm worried lol. Thanks

Btw I have a 2010 EVO X GSR

English Racing is down in Camus, WA. About a 2-2.5 hour drive south of seattle but you can't beat it! usually english comes up north to a shop in auburn for a "dyno day" where they spend ~30-45 minutes on a car and move onto the next and that's where a lot of us get our tunes done

there are a couple shops up north, not sure who has a dyno and is a trusted evo tuner though. I'd pucker up and make the trip to english when you need a tune. Iishi motorsports in bellevue a bunch of people have gone to for installs and i havent heard anything about them, but for tuning you can't beat english racing

If it's the same Spec-Ops Motorsports I'm thinking of, that's where a couple of our fellow PNW Evos work now, Mikey and Freddie! Drift Office has the dyno that ER uses for their North end Dyno days.
