List of upgrades?

Hello ladies and gents!

I saw somewhere one day, a list of motor stuff to upgrade first and why, I didnt track it so it would interesting to post it if you know what I mean, I'm not very used to this website yet..!

Also, is there a list of suggestion what to buy to make the evo look better? A list of suggestions, ideas?

Thx,

~Alex

I don't know, unless its a brand new car start with intake, exhaust and whatnot. For a used car I'd check the compression upgrade timing belt, water pump, check turbo for shaft play then start with the go fast goodies. Nothing dumber then buying a car and slapping on $4 grand in goodies only to have the motor blow due to timing or water pump issues

I don't have a problem with mine. I also have modified the stock radio to allow for direct plug in of an ipod or any mp3 player which to me eliminated the need for an aftermarket head unit

Me and a buddy did this on his Subaru Legacy. I'd like to do it on my Evo 9 and am wondering if it's similar. We used the "Jazzy Mod" i believe it's called where we replaced on of the small circuit chips with a built in aux plug in. But this was 5 years ago. Is there anywhere I can find a write up for this? I tried searching but I suck with keywords apparently. Thanks

Yes, they are direct replacements. Very very easy to install too. Look in here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-show-shine-86/ to get some ideas of what you want to do. I personally think the Evo looks amazing even in stock form.
