The Problem Free Thread - EvoXForums.com

EDM92 · 12-31-2012, 04:01 PM

Being that we're on a car forum, it's common for people to come here and ask for help with their car problems. A newcomer can easily get scared away from the Evo X by all the problems they've read about. I thought it would be a nice change of pace to have a thread about all the people who DON'T have problems.

So, who hasn't had any issues? Be sure to include things like mods, how many miles you car has, etc.

P.S. - Issues with things like TSBs, paint chipping, fuel relays, and fuel pressure regulator hoses flying off are common and to be expected.

No problems here! *knock on wood* Just the oil pump whine, which is annoying, but not really a problem. Stock motor / stock clutch still....37k miles. Most of those miles were at about 350whp on stock turbo. Last 3k have been at 420whp on the EF3

33k miles stock clutch, stock motor running 360hp(AMS tuned) since the past 30k... All mods in the signature... no problem with the car what so ever.

14k miles, 2500 of which are all-out on track. Technically, I did have a CV joint issue and an issue with my turbo to manifold bolts, but both were caused by yours truly. No fault of car.

Great idea for a thread, we need a little more positivity & optimism on the forums

Malves85 · 12-31-2012, 04:56 PM

Almost 30k miles. 1 track event and over a dozen autocross events. Problem free.

30k miles....the only thing i have had to do maintenance wise is replace the stock clutch and tires, and the routine fluid changes. Been on cobb stage 2 since about 5k miles.

Wish I could join the the club, had a sparkplug bow up at 7k. The caramic core fell down blocking the tip of the plug.
