Does anybody else have any gripe against El Cajon Mitsubishi?
When I bought my car, I got 4 years free service. None of the 3 dealers in the SD area are that convenient to me, so I started where I bought the car - Poway & they seemed a little cold, so I've been going to El Cajon. Well very recently my brake started making a little noise, but they did when they were new, so I didn't pay too much attention (giving that also I had been going regularly to the dealer for "free" service where they were supposed to be checking such things). But then it became more consistent, so I checked it out.
The RHS front inside pad was down to metal!
What the #%^&% are the techs looking at when they "service" the car.
Now the RHS front outside pad (the one with the wear indicator) still had 3-4 mm before it even got to the indicator. Since it is the easier to look at, maybe that is all they were doing - but given that the Ball (National City) tech said he always sees the inner pads wear faster than the outer (BTW, what's up with that?) you might think techs would check the inner pads. I guess you get what you pay for. Grumble grumble grumble.

So I guess I'll be going to Ball for a while... or (since the freebee services are about up) where do the rest of you service your Evos?

well, my friend fell through on the evo ix mr at el cajon mitsu, so i picked it up instead. everything on it is stock, so if s2k.. still needs a stock setup i got one, but no bung. also, if anyone has any good parts available, let me know. also, im not heading to japan anymore. now i dont know where im going, but (sad story, wife got diagnosed with cancer) im not allowed to be deployed for anything longer than 2 weeks, and i can only be stationed in 5 places for the net few years. were going to try and get hawaii, but wont be dissappointed if we stay in san diego. well, i hope to see you all around soon, when is the next meet.

 

Very sorry to hear that. Best of luck to the both of you!

 

Geez, sorry to hear that. You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate the support.

Can anyone tune my stock ix mr without the use of a dyno. I know reese and TT charge quite a bit, and right now i dont have that much, but im willing to work with someone out here who has the tactrix and laptop. Let me know.

 

Talk to Alan, he might be willing.
I hope the best for your wife, my prayers go out to her.

 

came across a RR evo on the 15 S in the RB area saturday evening around 8pm... was wondering if it was anyone on here. male asian driver. kinda vague, i know. we had a bit of a freeway sprint, I was curious if your car was stock or what.

 

hey guys i i'm moving to san deigo in march and my car got cat delete ,do i have to put the stock one back on ? or anything i need to do ? i heard about the rule , law very strict out there, did i herad right and any recommend ? and do you guys running evo with cat delete or very lound for exhaust ?
need help guys thanks a lot guys

 

FL is colder than San Diego, 32 degrees this morning here in Tampa

 

any recommend guys really need help thanks

 

Yes, you should be concerned with getting pulled over and potentially getting ref'd. That would be real bad. However, depending on what part of town you live in the cops aren't so bad. I have never been pulled over for my exhaust, but I also try and lookout for the cops and if I happen to see them I watch my throttle modulation. lol. You could get a silencer for your exhaust tip (if you don't have one) and that could help.

 

i will move to La Mirage apartment and there is very close to I-8 and 15 freeway as well

it is that many cops around there ? and my car doesn't has a catalistic convertor and i got greddy ti-c exhaust ( it's not too lound i think)and how about the engine bay ,do they pop-up the hood and check it out in the engine bay ?.and i just call reese tunning shop he told me that evos owner in san diego doesn't running evo with cat (they put cat delete ,exhaust is just fine )
and just look out for the cops any recommend will appreciated

thanks for the help man

 

They normally won't ask to look under your hood unless you are a jackass to them or were caught street racing. Most cops are familiar with Evos, understand they come from the factory turbocharged, and don't harass the owners in the same manner that they do people with cars like a Honda.
