See, the problem is, it has nothing to do with safety, so its only a service bulletin. If it was a recall, then they would do the work for free. Also, if you have an existing warranty, then they will fix it for free too. Mine has expired. So, I have to pay. Its gay. The guy I bought it from didn't bother to have mitsu fix it before the warranty ran out.

Me too! Haha. Like a sticker that says "100+ certified"
Anyway, I don't know if they'll remember fixing it, it was 3, almost 4 years ago. They'll remember doing my car, and the two guys that did it are still there, but I don't know who fixed the HVAC control, I just went in complaining about it after they did the HU install. I'm surprised Mitsu wants to charge you for a TSB, I had one done on the Porsche a few weeks after I bought it for no charge, and 2 done on the Evo back in the day at no charge.

So what is this TSB thing you are talking about?

Car Concepts fixed it somehow, I dunno how they did it, definitely not the TSB it was before there was even a TSB on it. And it cost 2600 dollars (the amount I paid for my full stereo system haha)
Which is why going to court and saying "I'll pay you money, but don't put it on my record" works so well. Hell, if it meant avoiding getting pulled over for minor traffic violations, I'd donate 100 dollars a month to the "law," I'm sure a lot of people would. Especially if they'd let you prove you were a safe driver at those speeds, like, a speed driver certification.
Speaking of which, when're we starting our club Jason?

Haha, thanks for the tips Ryan! You're the best! +1 to educating yourself, got my dad out of an exhibition of speed ticket with physics (accelerating too fast was the citation, I proved he was doing 0-60 in 30 seconds... just happened to be in a noisy *** Honda, with a noisy *** Evo in front of it)
But yes, your excellent physics skills for the win at court!
I saw a yellow Evo here in Moscow yesterday. It was all pimped out with a hideous giant intricate graphic all over the car. Fast and Furious Moscow?

All of you guy's from Wyoming were my saving grace, everybody pitched in $20.00 
the thing that pissed me off, some people didn't pay ****, If i would have known people could be so low I didn't do this to make money I knew i was going to spend, I wanted to give everyone somewhere to hang out and have a good time. Next time we'll have to do potluck or pay up front.

see the thing is I'm running the one patch already on my ecu for the valet mode/NLS and the cel knock light. That was a pain in the *** enough to get all my maps switched over and I don't know if those other tweaks/mods would work with the V5 patch. When they have the 96940011 rom I will look at switching over I just don't want to use the edm rom right now
So was it a big noticable difference to you vs mbc ?? I'd like to see how the ecu boost is controlled, just via boost limit or is something else implemented?

V5 includes:
- 2 levels of knock cel flash
- some ICS mods
- map switching (timing/fuel/boost)
- no lift to shift
- valet mode
- rear o2 simulator
So, yes those mods will work as the new patch supercedes the previous. I just like the idea of alternate maps with meth, as I wont have the meth on full time & I can wire up the failsafe to default to the 91 octane maps if it trips.
Boost is perfectly stable in all weather conditions. The code is changed so I'ts now controlled by the ecu with psi based tables rather than engine load.
btw, did you see the seperate patch for the rear 02 sim?

Hey Fairclough/ Jasson . What time and it $20 for the day? Do you have to be a member or in a club or is it just open to anyone to come and test and tune and see what they can do this weekend?
spectators get in for $5.
