I'm back.

It's been a while since I've been reading up on the forum here. After the repair fiascos w/my car I just wanted as little to do w/MB as possible. What wound up happening w/the brake issue mentioned in that thread? Eventually my brake pedal got so mushy it went to the floor of the car w/out engaging the abs One new master cylinder later and the brakes were back. Since then I've been jerk and BAS/ABS light free So the parts list in the post above appears to be the trans fix (at least for me). Now, what have you guys done about the squeaking suspension :v After two weeks of dry weather mine was unbearably noisy but suddenly clammed up after I washed the car (water lubed the bushings temporarily; or washed out the springs)?

I also now have to keep me entertained so my car analness doesn't get solely focused on the Benz.

My suspension was squeeking, so they changed the bearings under warranty, also, there is one piece that they upgraded which i am having install on thursday, which is supposed to stop noise. My noise is gone since the suspension bushing went.

Thanks for the info 99ITR_SC. Have to see what my dealer says about that.

Thanks for the compliment ro0zy. The thing about black for me is that it hides all the black plastic pieces on the car and the sun roof and also minimizes the appearance of the scoops and spoiler. Makes it look classier, well as classy as any fire breathing rally car with altezza lights and a basket wing is going to look It also has blue purple metallic undertone (Tarmac is the name of the color).

I could go on about the EVO, but I won't do it any justice. It really is a car you have to drive to see what all the fuss is about. It's not the speed, it's the handling. It's the most electric, ready to change direction, on rails street car I've driven. It doesn't hurt that < $2,000 will put it in the 12's 1/4 mile either
