hey guys mini update! i talked to a family member who owned the evo before and did all changes of maintenance by himself. he has the race ramps and jack kit with jack stands so i am good on those! now i think i may get that husky tool set i posted earlier! i have vice grips incase! and still thinking of what else i may need! i know i have an oil drain pan already just thinking of other things to get too!

anyways, sorry for that blab ^^ but thanks for all the help so far guys! i really do appreciate it! going to buy the right tools the first time so i dont have to put mileage going to the store and back just to find the right tools!

I think the tool set, a breaker bar, and a torque wrench is all that you are in need of. You do not need an o2 socket like a member posted earlier because if you really need one the auto stores rent them out. All you have to do is make a deposit on the tool and return it to get your money back. But I never used one when replacing the o2 housing and the rest of the exhaust.

you will probably find yourself looking for more tools the more you do more of your own repairs. You will never have every tool, trust me. for basic maintenance a basic tool kit is plenty though.
