Is the car in Framingham MA or out in Detroit like it appears your last post stated? If you are in Framingham I'm 15 minutes from you and would be happy to lend a hand and/or provide any assistance. Let me know if I can help in any way!

Its not rocket science but this platform more then any other I've known has a **** ton of gotchas that make it a difficult car to maintain. Too many shops claiming to know them inside and out and they really don't.

You have to know your **** when it comes to an Evo. Not just know how to turn wrenches.
