Noise doesn't bother me either, It was just one of the observations. :)

Had the car clay barred and detailed today. I've worked something like 14 of the last 15 days and something like 170hours so I paid someone to do it. Came out really really good. He used my product which of course is Zaino. :)

8 months and 10,000 miles.

I was trying to get to the Dealership for the oil change right when the odometer hit 10,000 miles but I was 2 miles off. It was pretty funny when they saw that I was there for my 10,000 mile maintenance at 10,002 miles. I told them "I'm normally more on top of my cars maintenance and I'm sorry for being over the mile mark." I got a good laugh out of it. They just stared at me.

Hopefully your TPMS sensor isn't always on.

I talked to the dealership about it. I have two sets of wheels and for some reason the ECU will only recognize one set of TPMS sensors. I change back and forth between wheels pretty often and It wouldn't make sense to have them program them to the car each time I do it. I had 3 TMPS sets programed to my MS3, but I guess I cannot be so lucky with the EVO.

I was thinking you hardly put any miles on it. But actually it's been 10,000 in less then a year.

Whiteline Adjustable Rear Sway bar and Swift Springs ordered.

I went with the Swift springs because they are made for autocross with daily driving mixed in. They are supposedly matched perfectly with this stock struts and those who have used them on the autocross have had great results.

I've heard nothing but great things about the Whiteline products for the EVO's so I figured I would give it a shot. I didn't order the front sway as I don't have the ability to drop the subframe to install it.

The one shop that everybody in town recommends stood me up 3 times when I was trying to get the front sway bar on my MS3 install... It's hard for me to trust anyone to touch my cars, and since there isn't anyone else in town that people recommend I'll just wait until I get the lift installed in my garage.
