evoM is a great community, with great info and very helpful people, with a little bit of research and patience there isnt anything on this forum that hasnt been covered. i would much rather see you repair or inspect the car by yourself with the help of evoM, than have a "professional" that thinks its a subaru work on it!

I don't understand this. How can a mechanic not know what an evo is?

Because some area evo is extremely rare. I bet a lot of mechanics never saw or worked on evo in person.

As I parked it out the front he says ...." so what is that?" as I roll it into the workshop, he then says "so it looks like its got lots of mods" and I say no its factory standard, not mentioning the pipe and tune" he then opens the hood and stares as the motor for a second,probably expecting to see some weird mod.... then I say be careful not to push down on the hood its aluminium, he then walks off and does the paper work after checking the lights.
Another old bloke getting his family car serviced walks up to me and says...wow that looks great what is it?

I need to get use to all this being a new evo owner
I get that all the time when people ask me about my 9, they think the brembos, seats, and wing are aftermarket, I just tell them no, she was born this way
