speaking of these dealers. i took mine to the new orange park dealer by Best Buy along with my wife's Lancer. as they were washing the cars as a courtesy, the guy from service gives us our work orders to go pay for. i noticed my oil change was really cheap and i wondered, "should i say something, or let it go". then i was thinking "what if these ****ers put regular oil instead of synthetic". so i brought it up to his attention and this is how it went....

Me: Excuse me, i don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence, but did you guys put regular oil in my car?
Him: Let me see your work order.... Yes we did. Why?
Me: Because synthetic was suppose to get used.
Him: Well we don't use synthetic unless the costumer requests it.
Me: Are you serious? Even if the car REQUIRES synthetic?
Him: Um, let me find our head technician and I'll get back to you.

about 10 minutes later he came apologizing and asked me if i can leave my car there because they had to get synthetic oil since they normally don't keep it in stock. then the guy admits to me that they've been open for about 1.5 months and had put regular oil in other Evo's. Hopefully no one from here. but if they did, i'd take it back and have them correct it and hopfully it's not too late for your engine
Wow....idiots. I hate dealerships. They have no clue wtf they're doing. If you can't trust those dumbasses with a oil change, you can't trust them to do **** else. They are basically worthless.

Stage 6 would be fine for doing an evo clutch but they are backed up with turbo viper stuff. I'd get with Jon and try to get it done that way, would be quicker and cheaper.

Also it would be awesome if you guys got some E85 locally. I tried like hell to get the city of jax fuel place to let me get some but they wouldn't let me since they're only for the buses.

Are we talking any maintenance or just oil changes because if you cant do an oil change you are in the wrong brand.

If we ever get e85 ... well let's just say I would be a happier than a nympho in a sex shop surrounded by toys of the trade!

Well I need more power and boost for this big sum biotch...



Buschur BFIC vs AMS Standard

Installed:



So who wants an authentic AMS Intercooler? It's basically in perfect condition, never seen oil inside from the factory recirculation of the crank vent to the intake etc. It will be cleaned and polished back up before it's sold and be in a condition as if it came from AMS.
