in no way am i bashing the Evo, dont some of u get the point of this thread? I miss the Evo to death i even went to a dealer to check the 05s out. as for the 03' comment, why not just get a 05 to avoid all the possible problems? I mean if u can afford it.. Plus u want IC sprayer instead of ACD? 03's have been known to have had numerous TC problems as well. You're right, i probably should've never bought it used..i was doin a friend a favor. Reason i sold it is cuz this is not the time to own a car like that. I will probably be getting a IX in the near future.

A true "experienced" mechanic would get it done in no more than 10 hours which book calls for.
Sorry you miss the evo and hope you get one soon, but i see why others bash for making comments bout the 03 bashing... you loved your evo but hate it in the same regards..
Oh well.......... you'll get back on that high horse sooner or later maybe.. good luck

^^^..."experienced". If u know what those 2 quotation marks mean then u'll get my drift... yes ur exactly right i loved my evo the fact that it was a Evo but hated it that it had so many problems more than just "normal" problems. Problems really related to 03 Evos...i was previously planning on trading it for an 05 but ended up just sellin it.
