take a laptop with evo scan and a obd2 cable and check for any errors showing up on it. Mate look at two different evo 9s and one was perfect but the other was showing the AYC was doing crazy shit

should check the passenger seat too - since they can be easily swapped with the drivers side.

How did u do this?
I was under the impression it was easy to wind a car back, is it pretty common?

yeah i thought it was, how do they do it on a digital dash, do they swap the instrument cluster from another car or can it just be done electronically?
And how did the OP look it up via the VIN number the real km's?
