ok.... so I've got my new evo run in, made sure everything's working as it should, smoked a few 'challengers', got my first ticket , and I'm ready to start some extensive mods. Starting out with a not too exciting K&N filter... pretty adventurous, huh? .... oh yeah, and I've already modified the car by ripping off the damn front plate holder the dealer thoughtfully bolted on there... so that counts as lightening the car, right? . It left a big ugly hole in the front air dam, but then that can count as increased airflow to the intercooler. Rev-lite should arrive today too.

Interestingly, I spoke with the service dept at the dealership yesterday, and they cautioned me against modifying anything as it may void the warranty.... hmmmm.... apparently even splicing into the rpm feed to the ECU for the rev-lite can void the warranty???? Anyone out there been denied a warranty claim because of mods? I have a long list I want to get to as time and money permits.

Saw some really nice 'Evolution VIII' badges for the trunk on eBay for $78, from the UK. I would consider it so long as taking off the existing badges doesn't leave an ugly mess. Maybe goof-off would take care of it?

I'd like to come along to one of the meets down on Westheimer. Only reasons I haven't so far are... a) it's quite a drive from where I live out NW of town, and b) I'll feel really, really old because I'm sure you all are WAY younger than me. Oh well, back to work.

 

From what i have seen with some of the warranties on this car they do not hold up very well. JUst about anything will void it, so i would say dont even think anything about the warranty because it sucks....

There is a houston area evo club called evo speed, we meet every Saturday night on Westheimer in the parkinglot of streling bank right after the belt way. We have members from all over houston, some from your area they com out just about everynight. Some of the members are younger and we have some older members as well so you will not feel out of place. Not only that we are all great people looking for some fun, and always looking for new members to join us.

So we hope to see you out there this saturday night, if you have any questions on how to get out there we will be more than happy to help you.. Our meets are always great, and we love having new people with evo's show up who maybe are next member, see you there I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
