Hey Tim

If you can get a written estimate for the exhaust from Dixie/Markham, cant you show this to the Mitsu head office to file a complaint against Erin Mills?

Be sure to leave feedback here as well

The dealer here in St. John's, Capital Mitsubishi, just replaced a faulty hydraulic pump on my 2008 Evo MR while my car was equipped with an aftermarket catback with no questions asked and no flags raised. So they're not all bad. Don't let one dealership turn you off an entire brand.

By the way, if you plan to drive your Evo in the winter you will need to protect that pump which is located up under the rear bumper on the passenger side. The body is aluminum and the salt gets up on it and corrodes it until the seal eventually gives out and they fail. Both myself and a friend who bought our Evos a month apart have had ours fail recently after just 3 winters.

WOHOO!! Coverage one is going to cover it!! I will have my car back tomorrow. Happy monday.

That's awesome! I wasn't sure if you were implying in your earlier post that Coverage 1 might cover it; I thought they wouldn't look at the car before 100k. Wicked news bud, I'm really happy for you.

Oh, and I already left a review for Erin Mills Mitsu on Google Maps, steering people towards Dixie.

Seems more than just you had the run around from them

Oh, my story was completely fabricated. I assume Tim will want to give a bit more details about his personal experience. This whole situation just really bothered me so I spent the 5 minutes to make myself feel better

Thanks guys. I am also on the Evo forums and Erin Mills are bad for this!

I spoke with coverage 1 this morning and they said this is a common thing they see with Mitsubishi. When someone is a secondary owner they use the fact that you don’t have service records against you. Normally C1 would not kick in till i got over the 100k mark but they have seen this in the past so I was approved.

There was a guy on the Forums that bought his Evo from the manager of Erin Mills Mitsu. He had to do warranty stuff and was denied for not having receipts. He was like i bought the car HERE and from YOU. But they still denied him. b@stards.

On another note on the weekend my buddy went to Markham Mitsu and they had a Evo there they were selling with Intake and my same exhaust. They were selling it with full warranty. I wonder what would have happened if he needed a claim...

Jeremy, i am not looking to fully bad mouth them with fabricated stories. There are enough real ones to go around But i thank you for your enthusiasm.

They say "all is well that ends well".....but keep up the offensive for a bit to help the next guys out...

That guy that bought his Evo from the Erin Mills manager should have sued the guy personally for misrepresentation. A place like that DESERVES to have their name dragged through the mud!

I agree. Sure i managed to get out of muddy waters but we are a community. If i can help one of our members from going through the stress i have for the last 2 weeks then thats great. I have not slept right in days.

To just purchase a car and be told after 2 months you have a minimum of $1500 in repairs plain old sucks!

Tim, was that you I was following today on Derry/McLaughlin/Steels around 5pm ?

LOL stalker!

Alex you actually freaked me out for a min there. I actually left my car at home yesterday as I had to ship a transmission so i took my suv. My car is the Exact same color and my exhaust looks the same. I looked at the plates quickly and was like WTF! Mine are BNHW... At first i was like WTF is my wife doing out that way. Then i was like oh oh, I know she is at home so hopefully so is my car!

I had a few minutes of panic, lol. They are new plates so i knew they were close. Close enough that for a second i was like ???

haha Tim I was so close masking license plate upto BN we should find who that driver was and tell him about Erin Mills Mitsu dealer.

man i am telling everyone!~ I went to Dixie and they were great. I reinstalled my intake and had a problem so went back. I called and said i dont want to go through the bullshit of removing my intake just so you can check my engine code that was thrown.

Turns out the engine code was thrown from over torque usually caused by a boost leak. They didnt find a code so i wasnt charged anything and the mechanic suggested i just look over my vacuum lines. Over all night and day difference!

From now on i do not have to remove my mods unless it is a direct result of the issue.

EG my MAF failes due to water damage because of my open filter. Then i am on my own

lol, the moment I read Erin Mills Mitsu I knew you'd be screwed.

yup, they suck! Any excuse in the book! The stupid thing on their part is I still need to fix it. They lost out on a $2800 job because they were complete a$$holes about the whole process.

Luckily for me I was able to get it covered under my 3rd party Coverage 1 warranty. Unfortunately that had like a $500 deductable. Well still cheaper then the $2800 total repair so i will call it a win.

Ya read alot of warranty horror stories on the evo boards. I haven't had any issue yet but I'm only at 11,000 miles.

Have you upgraded the relalys from black to green? That's another big one.

yeah i cant keep up. They were green and now the New ones are black again!

I actually found out on the dyno that my relay was shot! Luckily i have been trolling the evo forums for months and knew about the issue so once he stated that he was lean i told him to swap the high beem relay with the FP and instant success!

I was going to order a pack of all of them as there is an update injector relay as well.

I got the car tuned with a few minor bolt ons and i got 350 whp! The cars sweet! Are we the same color? Octane blue?

LOL. So they went from black to blue to green to black, not suprised.
Got a bunch of mods, once I install my ams dp I'm going to have it tuned. I'm look for about the same power as you. Then I'll go with an fp red.

No, mine's gunmetal gray

The blue one has noticeably the beefiest coil. The green relay has a sideways coil with direct action (no lever). But since it sits sideways it has to sacrifice some windings.

In the black relay the contact points look like a melted on blob of something. In the blue relay they are thicker, more substantial looking. The magnetic action is direct so it may mean a higher clamping force for a better connection.


I am going to order the blue ones and replace both the fuel pump relay and the fuel injector relay

My understanding is that the relay contacts are corroding. Not sure how thicker coils would solve that. I figure I'll just get the most up to date one.

He can explain it better They cut them open. Even working ones showed signs of failure due to crappy contact points.

I'll probably just buy the entire kit from SSP. Despite the little problems, the car is just a blast.

little problems? Your a lucky man I have bad Car-ma, lol.

Whats the link? I need to order a set

http://www.sspperformance.com/product/ssp---relay-package/

Other than stretched timing chains, tranny pins backing out and relays causing engine failure, it's just little problems. Only one I've had so far is the 5th gear rattle. but there's a fix for that.

I thought you are supposed to avoid the black relays?

nope black is back It went black, green, blue, now black.

But those are the wrong ones. You dont want the made in usa ones. They are old. lol.

You need the ones that were made in Italy # MR122409
