What did you used to patched up the holes?

 

I used some plastic trim fasteners, (like those ones that hold the trims inside the trunk)... then i siliconed it. Or you can use some color match vinyl stickers and just cut it.

 

Hey guys...I'm in Reno right now and I've seen someones evo...

I saw the silver one on mccarran (sp) pretty much stock...just wondering whos it was...

 

Anybody have suggestions on aftermarket clutches and places to get installed without having to pay the dealerships total price of over $1300?? Mine is about ready to go. 7900miles. pathetic...

 

You're talking $500 for a cluch, and $600 at least for the install. So $1300 seems cheep.

 

very inexpensive, especially if we are talking Aftermarket clutch which means better/more clamping load... usually..

 

doing a clutch on an evo sucks hard. its basically an all day job.

 

Is it slipping pretty bad?How many launches you had on it?

 

well i think ive launched it est. 10-12 times since ive had it. Its starting to mildly slip at about 31/2 rpms and up. 5th gear grinded from day 1. This is really a digusting problem that if i would have known about, i wouldnt have bought this car.

 

That's a bummer. I think most "spirited" drivers get only about 10k miles on the stock clutch. If you can commute to the bay area, fiaevo.com was offering a special oem clutch + install for $495 on norcalevo: http://www.norcalevo.net/forum/index...c,16518.0.html

I think the special is over, but I'm sure you can get close to that price still. As far as the 5th gear grind, you should go back to stock as much as possible and hit up the dealer.

 

I'm still selling my parts, but I lowered my prices helsa.

DC Downpipe (the one with a full 3" cat-delete): $140

Evo IX wheels + Advan tires: $750

 

^ Got a new clutch sittn around anywhere?

 

You might want to check out Modified Auto Salon about your clutch.He might be able to give you a deal.

 

^Thanks, Yeah i do know allan over there, im going to ask them about the install labor. But first, i need to find the best deal on an aftermarket clutch thats goin to outlast the POS stock clutch.

 

Can you send me pics of the wheels/tires? I am in need of tires and can't make up my mind what to get. This sounds like the perfect way out.
