    Yes we do have a PT Cruiser with a leaky heater core that needs to have to coolant topped off everyday. Not a dependable canyon carver.

    I forgot that I started this thread years ago… just checking in. Everyone still got theirs?

    I still have mine — sole car — with 137k miles. Still bone stock, which knocked a few techs out of their seats when I was making some calls this week to look into a maintenance service estimate.

    Still got mine fresh out of RRE and running great! I also dialed in my Tein Flex Z suspension to give it less preload and add some ground clearance. It hasn't been on the track for over 10 years. It was about time to make it comfortable on the street again. Way over due.

    I was driving in San Gabriel a few days ago and someone in a Honda recognized me, said hello Grant and said he knew me from SoCalEvo. Was that anyone in this thread?

    Who do you guys use for service/maintenance, in or around the OC area? I believe Massimo Power is closed, and the dealership never seems to know the correct things for service intervals so I’m apprehensive about going there.

    Does South Coast Mitsu still have the lifetime oil change?

    If you ask WaveMixer here, I know he will say RRE all the way!

    I won the lifetime time oil change from South Coast at a meet long, long ago when Renzo was selling cars there and have never used it. I usually do all my own work except when it's a job too big or over my head. Then it's RRE all the way.

    They ended it a few years ago. The “legal” out was that they didn’t write it into people’s sales agreements but were just doing it for free during the time it was honored, so they weren’t breaching any contract, since it was all verbal. Either way, it was for a solid maybe eight or nine years, and I got over $2,000 in free oil changes.

    I have it in writing and I didn't buy my car from there.
