anybody had a bad case of maintaning a stock EVO? A good friend of mine is planning to get an EVO VII with as close to stock ENGINE as possible... as its within his price range and he can afford the DP and installment... but now he just wants to know whats the maintainence part like? i mean is it really that FAR off any other car like civics ? i mean we have a lot of experience in NA's messing around with internal parts and etc and managed to maintain and pamper the baby just right with no major probs and cost.. any advice? like is maintaining an EVO very far off? any common problems or major problems that cost huge dumps of $$ we should be aware or prepared for? small maint that cost a couple of hundreds occasionally can la.. car will be barely used as its a weekend car...if utilized will be for cruising and trips like KL-JB.. didnt wanna start a new thread for such noob Q's ... any advise will be very much appreciated and experience.. cause its a major leap for NA to turbo...and my friend is wondering if he should just stay on what we know like DC5.. if can list down common costly maint to prepare for will be very much appreciated...and one more thing... any nice low mileage stock evo vii for sale :P thanks.

bro...I dun think to maintain the evo is so difficult...
why i say like that..because it depend on how u pamper ur baby....
not to complicated....like we maintain the proton wira only, but only the amount of money will increase...(so that we call evo bro....)
last time i drive satria,,,then putra, then back to satria....and now evo,.....so there is no difference...
I think you shoud go to right workshop....and using right engine oil, etc...
if in shah alam, you can go to AE...so many subaru there...but dun wori...evo always can go inside.....so cool to park between all the subaru...then ur car alone there.....hahahahh....
i just pass my evo to them...dammm good service...u can try...

in terms of what?
i've been using SST for almost 3 years, bought it brand new..but due to my work, now only clocked 48000km.
No issues on the gearbox so far - touges,track,wangan run etc...but I NEVER launch it using the launch control system. I believed that's the culprit.
The only gripe i have is the overheating issue on the track, but that one easily solved.
New car,new technology always take time to understand..why want to get away from it, i like discovering new things as long as its not too major..hehe. But, i like SST so far..although sometime i prefer if i got the manual instead..hehe (for track purposes).
