Lancer Evolution

  • 12,000 miles
1. driving 2. irritating ticking from passenger side of engine bay. Seems to cause wear and tear on belts on engine. So far no consequences as belt hasn't broken. 3. no part have been replaced as of yet. 4. in short it seems almost all evo ix's are affected by this belt wear on the idler pulley, power steering pulley, and possibly others. I just don't want to see one of these belts break on this performance turbo car at high speeds... could cause many injuries in my opinion. Keep and eye out for many many others to send in a report in the next few days on the evo ix's as I will be posting up a link to this site on our main community site.
