ahh tht would explain it.

going to raleigh today i may drive the evo but if i dont look for a burgundy eclipse with eclipse written up the side.

 

does anyone in the raleigh area have the timing belt tool used for changing cams and timing belt by any chance? I'd like to borrow one but will give a little bit of money just to borrow it for a weekend or 2

 

Ahh, I thought they closed down. Does anyone know if the prices are comparable between Formula One and the place in Cary?

Jason - Found the thread on EvoX. Been browsing over there a bit, but didn't join until today.

On a side note, I have some initial thoughts regarding the first 300ish miles on the X..

First, why in the world does the speedo go to 190? You look down and the needle is barely around the circle so you think you're doing about 40, but really you're doing about 70 because the speedo goes so friggin high haha

Second, this car is SCREAMING for a 6th gear on the interstate. 3500 at 75 on the interstate is ridiculous... maybe it will make me drive slower

Third, I am in love with the leather Recaro's. Definitely a good choice for me.

Fourth, the gearbox is very notchy at idle, but smoother while moving... hoping that's newness that improves with driving. Any X owners that bought their car new care to comment?

Fifth... break in procedures suck haha

That's it for now. Glad to be back in some AWD boosted goodness

give redline Mt90 a shot, it worked great for my tranny.

 

CarFax the hell outta that thing!

 

Dan for the notchiness you'll need the redline cocktail.

It will help the tranny warm up faster and give you better shifting feel all around.
A 6th gear would have been nice but trust me the car does fine at 3500+ for 4+ hours.

 

btw I popped into the dealer to get my AWC system looked at and leith has an 8 with 90+k miles for 16.5k

 

Something wrong with your AWC system?

 

Since I got it back from repairs its throwing a service required warning light. Could be a variety of things according to the forums so ill find out come Wednesday.

 

you didn't install two different kind of tires on there did you? I did that right after I got my X and the stock one got a nail in it, Doesnt say anything in the manual about and even one of the mitsubishi techs I talked to never heard of it, but two different tread patterns will through a maint light

 

Nope same tires and wheels. I have a feeling the awfully pump is screwed or the shop that repaired or replaced it goofed up.

 

could def be a goof, def be taking it back to the place you had it worked on and telling them whats going on and you would like it fixed
