These are ALL bolt-ons...How easy is that???

Ha Ha THAT I think applies more to the E46 M3

As for all the warranty issues, I actually was talking to a service advisor yesterday and he was a little upset that Mits is being so tight with regards to warranty repair. He should they should just bump the price of the car up and warranty everything because in the US, expectations for warranty work are more important than across the world.

The clutch was too weak for the HP of this car. Apparently, Subaru is replacing the clutch with an aftermarket one for warranty work. Once the clutch is gone on the Evo, I plan to do the same....

I actually am not too worried. I have Todd Matsubara (TMEngineering) as my mechanic. It's in good hands...

I will probably be breaking the warranty in 6 months time anyway with the mods I am planning.
