The clutch is slipping terribly at all rpms and in all gears at random. Quite annoying to drive. So I ordered a new clutch and it showed up with broken clips from shipping on the pressure plate. Sent it back now waiting for a new one to show up. I cant wait for it to show up it has been not much fun driving it as it is.

Wow beautiful 9. Can't wait to see this thing come together. I like what you've ordered/installed already.

you need to give the border 72hrs notice to process paper work,etc. Its a pretty easy process if you understand what to do.

Goto http://www.riv.ca to get more info.

I treated mine like a vacation to make it less stressful. It was great experience. I love my Evo

Previous owners name was Craig. Hope he doesnt mind me saying that, I assume not as it was in the ad he posted here if I recall. Came out of Alabama, then Texas before that. I found a big clump of texas clay in the subframe while doing clutch. I had a chuckle at that.

Regarding the Injen I/C piping is it just a fitment issue? I thought about what its intended purpose is and what my HP goals are for now ect and figured that it the upper and lower kit was a reasonable value. Not sure if I will run the intake. I am running stock intercooler and as far as I could tell it was made for that set up.

Breaking in the clutch today!
