My car is not paid off, I still have 12 more months left.
I just took 4 years to convince my wife to spend some money on the car, I already did some exterior stuff, but never performance mods.
Oh my wife only thinks its costing $2700.00 when actually I'm spending almost 8K, she's like $2700.00 is to much money, only if she knew.

DISCLAMER: It will only feel fast for the first month. You will then want MORE POWER. Horsepower is a "hell of a drug"

^tell me about it. Except for me its good for about a week until I am craving more. I cant imagine the first drive after you have all that stuff installed. Your car is going to be a completly different beast. Have fun with it and stay safe!

We all experience the "mod bug", I have many times before and when I get my IX, I'll be doing the same thing too. Good luck with the parts, post some pics and vids if you can. Also the infamous dyno sheet too, to see those numbers go up...

If you loved your Evo before, you'll propose when you're modded and WOT.

Last week I had a similar install on my IX after keeping it stock for over 2 years. I had all of this installed in one day.

Injen Intake with UICP & LICP
Greddy TI-C TBE (cat delete)
Ported Exhaust Manifold
eBay o2 Housing
Kelford 272's with springs and retainers
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump

You are in for a treat!

And yes, this is what I look like everytime I drive it...
