What should I be doing on a regular basis?

[Tawney]

Hey all, just got my first Evo and just wondered if there's anything I should be doing on a regular basis to keep her running sweetly?
She's an Evo 7, turbo with HKS induction, 260hp... Have I left anything out?!

 

[Tawney]

Oops, I meant 360bhp lol!

Just checking the oil on weekly basis and services regular. Cleaning and polishing to be completed each Sunday

 

[Tawney]

Sweet, thank you! She gets a polish every time I take her out

You don't need to polish that often. I'm going to do my spring detail soon. It will get clayed, polished and waxed. I'll then use quick detailer after every wash and top up the wax maybe once a month.

Maintenance wise, 6 monthly services regular oil and tyre pressure checks etc

Always check your coolant levels in the expansion bottle as well

[Leigh_EvoIX]

Hahhahaa. I'm a man, we're supposed to be vague and unreliable.

It's a wax, think Lee said he uses it! You can get little tester pots for a few quid to see how you get on with it.

I use light fantastic. Good goo !

Lime prime pre wax clenser before then light fantastic to finish.

You will need to use your arms though :razz:

Keep to the service scheldule!!! Number 1 priority in my opinion! I would also be tempted to get a health check for your car for piece of mind Any of the decent tuners out there should be able to carry this out for you. They will get under the car, check all bushes, compression and leak down test and give the car a run out to check for any unusual noises or behaviour. Couple this with a full fluids service (Engine Oil, Diff Oil, Gearbox Oil, AYC Fluid) and you know you have a good healthy car
