I've been thinking about putting a list together of the things i've replaced in 150k miles. I may do that. For the most part, it's been trouble free. Just routine maintenance, and cosmetic things here and there. I'll say this, I haven't had any problems with anything I didn't modify.
Biggest issues I've had were with poor fitting Seibon carbon trash, Ralliart front lips being destroyed by driving, furry woodland kamikaze creatures, and a couple light bulbs going out. That's really been about it.
Yes you should! I took a different approach than the guy with the 200k mile EVO (congrats to him again, car still looks great!). I have launched mine repeatedly...more times than I can remember. I've autocrossed it every chance I got, drag raced it, and it sees redline in gears 1-3 at least 3 times a day. Sometimes more depending on how much driving I do.
I don't get the notion of babying EVO's but beating on a honda accord. The accord is the one you would baby. The EVO is built with race quality parts to stand up to the stresses of racing. That's one of the reasons I bought it...so i wouldn't have to baby it! lol honestly, the EVO has been the most reliable car I've ever owned (this is coming from someone who had an Acura integra, civic Si, and Honda Accord before the EVO). I had all 4 cars at once, and the only one I could trust day in day out was the EVO. It's never left me stranded, never broken down. I get in, turn the key, and go.
