doesnt' really seem like you have a whole lot to do other than start building big stuff. Built 5 speed swap, built t-case, build motor, bigger turbo.

Maybe sway bars and a good set of coilovers.

Question is, do you actually want/need more? If your happy power wise I guess you could maybe get some aftermarket seats or other small visual stuff.

Aftermarket wheels would probably be a nice next step there.

Kinda hard to make a suggestion when you don't really list any goals for it. Do you want more power? Better Handling? More Interior/Exterior items? Right now it seems like you are in a pretty good place with your car.

If you're asking people to pick mods for you without knowing what your goal for the car is, you're gonna have a bad time.

What do you want to do with the car? What areas do you want to improve? What are your goals for the car?

Thank you guys for your kind words, and please don't blame me because I am just a newbie.

Honestly, I don't know what my goal is, so that is why I am asking for helps lol. I think I need better handling and a little bit more power.

Oh yes, I also have one more question about the exterior. I am searching for a PU Ralliart style lip for my WW evo, and I could only find lips for evo 8 front bumper on ebay. Will that fit my evo 9 bumper?

You're close to where I'm at enginewise. The next logical upgrade would be an upgraded stock frame turbo, or big turbo + tubular manifold. I have the same concerns as you though, since the car is a daily driver, I'm sitting close to around 400whp/400wtq and that is about the edge of decent reliability from what I've researched on these forums.

no, evo 8 lips won't fit a 9 bumper, the bottom of the bumper is a different shape. There are plenty of lip options for the 9 as well. There's a ralliart lip that's similar to the 8 one but the center is different



and the lip that comes on the "appereance" package/SE edition for the 9



and of course there are other aftermarket lip options as well, but these two are the most popular

Since you're not sure where you're headed the next step for me would be to get out & take some different driving classes. Sounds like you've got a pretty well rounded car, but not sure which direction to drive it. Even if you're not comfortable driving your car on a track most HPDE's will have instructors that will be glad to take you out so you can see if its something you're interested in. Just my 2 cents.

Yes sir, my car can make 354 whp, but I am only comfortable with stock turbo and motor, so I don't know what should I do next

Thank you sir, you do help me a lot, and the lip In the first picture is exactly what I am looking for!!! Could you tell me what I could buy this lip please? I have been searching for a while, and I know there are a lot of Carbon Fiber lips for evo 9. However, my car is WW, and I need a PU lip so I can paint it!
