Do what you want. It's your car and if it makes you happy there is nothing wrong with it ... I just don't want to mess with my car anymore. I ruined my last EVO VIII by having the clowns at Boost Solutions modify the hell out of it. I learned my lesson and I don't want to do it again. I had a few pieces left from that disaster, I traded the car with the Exedy twin plate clutch, cams, cam gears, fuel rail, injectors and fuel pump in it. The FMIC, AEM EMS, HKS intake and some other bits and pieces I sold on Ebay but I kept the turbo back exhaust and the XEDE... I did put the cat back in the MR and the XEDE. The XEDE is a no brainer, works great and does not affect the driveability in any way. The cat back is a different thing. I'm pretty sick of the added noise. I don't think there is much in the way of mods that can make my MR better for it's main purpose. No way in hell I'll touch the suspension and frankly, unless I find a sure fire, guaranteed mod that'll make at least 100 whp more without "any" driveability issues or other downfalls, I'm not touching the engine either...

Just my $.02

 

aaaaaaaaaaa, modify to be happy

 

im keeping it stock until i find the right parts and when i come up with the money

 

I'm keeping mine stock until the warranty is out...

Then it's fair game.

 

I wanna keep it stock, but the more I read these forums.... the more it changes....

 

Why? Has Mitsu ever honored an Evo warranty . . . ? ? ?

 

Theres nothing stock about a stock car.

 

I dont have the damn thing yet. but i plan on a few tiney mods.

AMS ECU flash
AMS TBE - no cat
lower IC pipe
good clutch
stereo relocation and boost, EGT, oil pressure gauges.

possibly one or two other things, but pretty much only things to increase it's reliability

 

I would never buy any kind of "FLASH". F/ck that, dyno tune.

 

to each their own champ.
