no problem mang. i forgot to bs with you about jamaica lol . jah blehs.

 

oh yeh.. Goin out April 19th - 25th.. How about a meet out there? A week of fun times.

 

I'm a PJ tech at McCarran in Paradise Aviation hangars and have a red Evo 8...

 

man so i hear ticking sounds on my car. it sounds like theres a beat to it too. sounds like it could be normal but its the first time i heard it so i dunno. what u guys think?

 

could be your throw out bearing might be time for a new clutch my friend

 

If its a good beat, keep it going.

 

LOLLLL


no but seriously though Roy your X is practically brand new and i know 2 weeks ago was your first autocross so i know you really havent abused your car all that bad. Where exactly is the sound coming from?

 

I wish my car let out tight beats. I'd roll down the window and bump it. Instead, it lets out metal grinding... and whatever the sound of a car just dying for no reason makes.

 

it sounds like its healthy and it runs fine. i kinda like the beat. it was coming from the motor sounds like in the head

 

I couldn't resist..

Ahh it was Pete, not Phil haha. But I've been told your evo is sick. I was talking to Jeff Good yesterday and he brought it up.

 

i would have said your valvetrain is ticking cause you have cams and the lifters need to bleed them. but there arent any cams in your sig. maybe the previous owner had them on and pulled them out, now you have a noisy valvetrain. mine does that too. its annoying to me

 

man, thats funny. iv never seen that video ,not my thing but i let it play cuz that one kid swooped on that dudes woman. but them he punked out and went back to the mosh pit

 

more than likely roy its a bent valve tappet. I had two of them replaced on my X last year... its actually becoming more and mroe common. MMNA told me after they fixed mine that they were considering replacing all tappets with stronger versions, but there was no set date on when a recall of that size would go thru.

if you want we can meet up sometime and i can tell you instantly if thats the sound. lol by the time i actually got the stealership to admit there was a problem, my car sounded like a diseal engine it was ticking so bad. besides i still have your stock BOV and hose to give back to ya.

 

off topic, but i was in vegas with my evo last sat night and sunday 13th/14th and seen a GG X with an APR spoiler off the strip somewhere damn thing was cleannnn
