Hey Jeff,

It's an expensive story! I spun a bearing on my 08 Lancer GTS and I'm at 174xxx km so warrenty was done!
Long story short, I installed a used engine with 56k on it and $5800 later I'm back on the road!
I ended up redoing almost the whole front end. Tie rods tranny service, clutch etc... but still hywy robbery.
Dixie Mitsu at least discounted me $600 but who know how much they tacked on to give the discount!
All in all not a bad job, the mechanic was really good and now I brought my old engine home to tear into and understand these 4b11's. I'll also slowly rebuild it and pick up ralliart turbo parts to get my boost fix finally.
Cheers
