+1 for a great sticky! Actually read this before I bought my IX - which I feel most people should.

 

great thread guys.

 

just changed my front torque mount and i also just did the red line
mix. What i difference man, my 2nd to 3rd felt a grind before i
did the mix , once i did it such a great feeling.

 

yea it wasnt a big deal or anything, just an extra step.

I also just did the front motor mount as well, and there is a lot more response, and less movement in the 1-2 shifts. also going quik thru the gears and not babying the clutch is way more doable now. love the mount, a must have for any evo

 

bump for the sticky... so my project begins!

 

awesome thanks!

 

this is definitely good stuff to know since I will be new to the Evo's

 

good stuff man! not sure if you mentioned it, but a nice wax is a great "mod" for around 100 bcks

 

Great ideas, honestly a short throw was one of the first things, it's cheap and makes a big difference in the driving experience

 

This thread just saved my life and gave me some good info I needed! 2 thumb up!!!!!!!!

 

I am in MN and this is just about the only thing I disagree with. Ron @ RS Motors built the worlds fastest stock motor Evo (ALL stock internals, stock turbo, stock intercooler). He set the record at Rock Falls last year - so who knows if it's been broken yet, I'm sure it has!? That tune price is pretty much dead on - I believe RS Motors starts at $150 an hour.

Anyways - that is just personal preference on my behalf, just as it was preference to whoever wrote this thread to say that Shane is the best. Jordan @ MAP is also very good. The only reason I avoid DB is because the last time I called up there to schedule a smoke test and tune the person who answered the phone did not know if they had an AWD dyno so they could do my WRX, and then asked me if my WRX was AWD...yea...hung up the phone at that point...

Other than that everything on here is just excellent! Already got my shorty antenna on, Turbo Timer was installed yesterday and I am on the prowl for my Evo IX BOV. Ron at RS told me about this yesterday - if it had not been for that I would have NEVER guessed that the stock BOV from the 9 would be that good! I'm also going to be looking to get rid of my slight "clunk" when shifting haha, that is getting incredibly annoying..!!

Thanks for all the info!

 

excellent post! very helpful

 

great information for a new evo owner. Thanks.
