For you Evo owners out there,
this servicing thing has been niggling at me but after looking at it, it shouldn't be any different to owning a cossie unless you really want the dealers stamp in your book.
Most cossies get an oil change every 3k, I know my old one did, if you add in the any AYC changes I can't imagine this is going to be as bad as people make out using a tuner to do it instead of a dealer. Also looking on the mlr there are people changing the ayc fluid themselves.
They say the brake pads wear, but to be honest I'll be on AP/Brembo 6 pots and it won't be any different to the cossie.
I always tend to uprate parts rather than replace with std so the I feel I'm always getting something a bit extra for the cash.
So I don't think it will be any worse than a cossie. Do you evo owners agree??????

ESCOS OR FRS
They say that when you buy a cossie you should have the money it cost to buy it twice over cos thats what its gonna cost to start replacing and re-building once you start ragging it around the streets, go for the frs newer car and i was at SCC the other day there was one on the rollers knocking out 364 bhp not bad at all
