Keep it standard or mod it
Leave the engine stock.
I would upgrade the suspension with some JICs or Bilstein PSS9s (when they come out) and a thicker rear sway, and get an alignment with some negative camber. Not sure of the specs but I bet the FQ400 understeers and rides too high like the rest of the EVOs. I'd also add wider wheels and tires: 17x8.5/255. Stock wheels and rubber aren't enough for that monster.

i agree that it's a collectors car keep it stock. But there's no fun in that! +1 for buying another evo and modding it! Plus for as temping as it would be to drive the **** out of the FQ, you're gonna need something else to fill that need. Even though thats what it was designed for, you wouldn't catch me tossing it sideways through a turn.
Hey Late Apex is that deposit reciept sitting on your dresser laughing at you like mine is?!
yeah... leave it alone. The only reason to spend the $ on the FQ400 is to HAVE the FQ400. If you want to mod, buy a lesser model and go crazy. You could buy a 320 and put 1/2 the $ into it in mods and be faster, but that's not the entire point of the 400...
its a fq-400, a highly modded evo witha warranty, so why mod it. keep it as a track car or whatever the hell you had planned for it and go buy something else to mod the hell out of because you already have the baddest evo ever.
