1. At least 4 or 5 track days
2. New smaller rims (18" Evo X BBS look too big on the CT9A to me for some reason)
3. Flex tune
4. Make it quieter
5. Not blow up

1. Get front lip and side mirrors repainted- Done
2. Purchase a set of TC105X 18 x 9.5 +35
3. RE11 Tires ( More quiet than the RE71R's currently on the car and still provide great traction)
4. Get FP Black turbo rebuilt with potential Ball bearing upgrade - Done
5. Finish building spare "rainy day" Shortblock (2.4LR- OEM 100mm crank, K1 billet rods, Wiseco 1400HD 9.4:1 pistons, ACL bearings) For use with smaller turbo (In Progress)
6. Fix cold start issues. (Car doesn't drive smooth until it's warmed up)
7. Wet sand and buff headlights. (I recleared them last year, but never got rid of the orange peel)

1. Shave some weight via windows, dash work, and elimination of mustache bar. Add two-piece brake rotors and fab a cro-mo north/south subframe bar thingy. Tubular K-members, budget pending.
2. Possibly pick up some of @Dallas J upright pieces. That should help with weight and handling.
3. Attend at least one GTA event, possibly the final.
4. Swap on my Evo X calipers. I'm held up by the expense/trouble/frustration of selling my BRAND NEW RPFs so I can pick up 18" wheels and the brake rotors.
5. Do as little repair/maintenance as possible.

Shortblock has a few K miles, trans and rear diff are new. $1000s and many hours later, I better not need to touch it for a while. 😂

Goals: Too lofty to list

New TRE transmission is about to be in a few days, next maybe end of year or 2020 T-case and diff rebuild by TRE
One last tune hopefully and get as close to 600 whp and that is it for me!
I love my Evo and everywhere I go everyone is asking me is it for sale when there's no for sale sign

Please post some pics up when you get those wheels on, I've been obsessing over these wheels lately but there aren't many evos with these to see how it looks.
