First time owning an evo 9
So i bought this evo 9 2006 from a shady company long story short they said it was stock it wasnt stock, i had to replace the t case, wiring issues, and an axle. Im not the best when it comes to cars so i wanted to know whta i should do with this car? should i just replace whats on it with the same parts, get brand new parts, or leave it how it is and just wait for things to go bad. Im not sure what mods are on it and i know its been flashed cause i took it to a dealership to get recalls done and they said they couldn't do one because of it being flashed. Should i just take it to get dynoed or wait till i add parts to it?

I would really appreciate it, if someone were to help me out here with mods and such. Im planning on learning all about the car and getting it to 400hp with 91 octane, but not sure where to start.

Congrats on the purchase but i see some issues were found after the fact. As you have found out, a truly stock EvO is a rare bird for sure
Here is a good sticky to go over which will give you some of the basics

Also, there's some pretty handy threads on here regarding where to get started modding your evo. Take a look around!

If your car has been previously tuned I would advise not getting the reflash done by the dealership. I've seen my local dealership nearly brick 2 Evos because for some reason their ECU reflasher or whatever it is they use could not properly upload the new ROM to the ECU. The updated ROM is just an updated factory tune to prevent catalytic converter failures.
