The windshield ticking is a known problem on new Evos. Dealer will know about it. Not sure if there is a TSB for it however. There should be though. As far as mods, forget the intake. Just get a nice 3" TBE and an EcuTek flash. You'll should be putting down 300whp after that if your tuner is decent. The IX is impressive. Don't worry about the fuel pump or aftermarket cams. You've already got that covered.
Are you going to add a stereo system?

jdmstop,
LOL, I like how you switched front fenders on your WRX.. LOL you thought I wasn't going to catch it?
Nice cars boths. I must agree with you, after you spent $15000 in engine, suspension mods, brakes mods, rims and tires, seats and save $2400 for a new tranny then you say: Wow, now I am equallly match to a basic Evo...
Is just like that bro, the Evo(Any Evo) is one galaxy ahead of any WRX and realisticly speaking you truly need to spend $15000 plus to make a WRX competitive with the Evo.
I wasted $11000 on my WRX and I was only half way(no upgraded brakes, no upgraded tires/rims,no upgraded suspension other than H&R springs), I am glad I stopped at $11000 by the way, that does not count the repair of two broken trannys in less than 60 days......
You made the best choice of your life. I wish you good luck on your new Evo.

Also I would recommend relocating the gauge cluster to the top DIN and, when you get one, place the HU on the bottom. Maybe down the road you'll be interested in something like this when you get tired of thinking in BAR and reading those other tiny 46mm Mistubishi OEM gauges...

Believe me, I saw it it just really shocked me that you went that far with the body mods. It looks very well done.
Now have fun with the Evo 9 RS!!.
