Help for a boyfriend's evo
 
My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I would LOVE to surprise him with something for his evo ix so I thought I'd come to the people that know them best!


He checks this forum DAILY so I'll try to post as little information as possible.

He has a full exhaust

upgraded fuel pump, filter, clutch, and tuned.

aesthetically: coilovers, CCW rims, and full audio.

He just recently got it stanced (or lowered, whatever you call it lol)

my budget is around 6 to 700.

Help a girl out with some ideas! :p

If this is in the wrong section of the forums, I apologize.

The answer is probably not, but do you know any of his mods? Does he have an aftermarket turbo already, etc. It doesn't have to be precise but that will give us an idea of what level in the modification process he is at.

I'd surprise him with the money that's intended to be spent on his car. And then he can spend his time getting exactly want he wants. That way you don't run the risk of buying the wrong part for his goals. Either way pretty cool!

Awesome! Totally checking this out!

I would get him a mod that would help him in every case of his build. Here are some examples. A spoolin up cop ignition system, a new headunit with blue tooth and navi, a boost gauge if he doesn't already have one. Make the best observations of his car and modding path you can and take your best shot. I'm sure that he will be flattered with whatever you get him.

Yea but money by itself is pretty lazy and no thought process/effort behind the gift. I'm certain she could figure out what he has and something she could get for him if pointed in the right direction.

OP considering the fact that you mention your BF is a frequent logging member on here maybe he has posted a build thread or basic mod list? Or even has a signature with his current setup? You can get a general idea from that list so we can help you out (all without posting his name of course)

Do you know if he has his mods listed here on his profile? If yes, what's his user name and maybe someone can check it out and make a suggestion.

Cool chick, lucky guy...Catback exhaust if he doesn't have one. Good luck.

LOL pretty sure I just got busted but everything internally is stock.

This is awesome
I wish you luck!
My GF got me a Charmander plush for my car.
No power gains or faster lap times here, but its still the best present for my car that I ever got xD
Rides shotgun whenever I have no other passengers
Thats just me though :p

If the car is stock besides it being stanced/slammed/lowered/IDK what he really did, then maybe an exhaust mod would be the best route
Thats usually where people start when they mod their car
Thats my input
Good luck!!

I don't get this thread... Why don't you just ask him what he wants ?
