$1200 what should i do?

What mods should i get? I want to get a new bov just for the sound... but im not sure what else i should get.... What do you think will give me the most bang for my buck? i was thinking about the bushur stage 2... BUt i was also thinking about: cold air, samco radiator houses, carbon fuse cover, carbon shroud, polished valve cover, polished exhaust manifold cover, titanium front swaybar, and a few other non power adding components... What would you guys do? thanks..... i wish i had more money.. lol i want show and go..... Now i have to decide... O yeah and i live in michigan... the american muscle car capital of the frickin world... so i know this summer every mustang, camaro, vette, ta ever made is going to be wantin to race me....

Ok, you obviously dont know much about this car if you want a BOV "just for the sound." I would recommend letting Bushur take care of you. Other than that, cold air is usless, carbonfiber is a waste of money IMO, and the stock swaybar is already good.

I'm pretty sure this guy is fairly young, baised off his grammar and choice of mods. Sorry man, I'm not trying to 'bash' you, but you should have just done your own research/ looked at what others were doing. I figure that 80% of the fun in modding is choosing your own parts.

$1200.00

springs $300.00.
rear sway-bar $250.00.

a couple of HPDE's.

Mod the driver first - then the car...

The Evo is a hell of a car right out of the box. Don't concern yourself with making it faster. Learn what the limits are in a controlled environment.

I don't want to sound like I'm preaching, but I think too many people are concerned with "mo powa" - when they should appreciate the car for what it is - a remarkable piece of machinery...

(flame suit on)
