Low Cost Mods.

What are some good low cost mods we can do to our Evo Xs?

Few I have in mind/done.

1. Engine:
Intake - Aem/ETS/other brands normally <$300
Test Pipe - ETS/UR/Rexspeed <$220
Tactrix Cable <$200 shipped (will allow you to tune or download base maps)
Gauges <$350 (for a nice boost/AFR gauge, allows for tuning)

I'd imagine, mods should put you around 280-320whp!

2. Interior:
Shift Knob <$100 (tons of nice ones under $100)
Gauge pod <$130 (rexpeed single carbon or dual pod)
LED bulb kit <$150 (you can change out the entire cars bulbs with these led bulbs)
All weather floor matts <$100 (you can get the oem ones, they are hella nice)

3. Suspension:
Drop Springs <$300 (swift R springs can be had!)

4. Exterior:
Window Tint <$200 (all depending on area)


Where can I find the JDM bumper piece (allows airflow to brakes i guess?)?!?

Anymore low cost mod ideas for the Evo X?

Are you talking about the fog delete?

Also, upper IC piping.. around $250.

not the fog delete, the grill that replaces the "block" on GSR evo X.

Hmm.. that's the only one I know of.

You are talking about the fake plastic mesh piece that's beside the foglight on the driver's side?

He's talking about the front section to the aero kit. It comes with little black things that force air towards the calipers.

The brake guides? They're a factory option in the US.. unless you're talking about a completely different JDM part.

^^Ya dude! isn't that what jordo was talking about? Cuz that's the only "JDM" thing that allows airflow to the breaks that I know of.

I found it, its just a Grill that comes standard on the MR.

The gsr has a block plate on the driver side.

UICP will be next on my list.

Why the hell did Mitsubishi do that?? That looks super crappy to have one mesh and the other wannabe plastic mesh. it doesn't make sense that the mr has mesh and yet the GSR doesn't
