How much invested???
How much money do you guys typically have invested in your Evo? IE parts, tuning, suspension, etc etc…I just typed up a list of stuff I wanted to "finish? my car and it's in the $14k range! I already dropped like $6k...

I have $0 invested besides the price of the car. Here's my issue.
First off, I do not want to risk voiding the warranty.
Second, my payments are a little high so any upgrading for the most part will come out of my savings and that is pretty much off limits.
Thirdly, I have had cars totaled in the past (neither was my fault) and a motorcycle stolen. I know (insurance wise) that you do not get a dime back when upgrading your car on after market parts. It would really suck to invest $10k on a car just to have some punk steal or crash into it afterwards.
I want to get a tune if it doesnt void warranty (leaning towards Cobb AP). After I pay it off then I might be looking into investing a little into it. But at this time in my life I would rather spend $10k on a larger back patio and hot tube than on the Evo. I know I am the exception in the Evo community. But after the Evo (as we know it) is discontinued and the used inventory shrinks, I will be one of the few in my city where I am an original owner (with service records) of a stock Evo.

This. The only things I have bought for my Evo are original parts (JDM/MR center console conversion) and about $500 worth of detailing items to keep her glowing.
The only things I have planned for her are a clear bra and maybe a greddy catback. Other than that she is staying stock. Plenty fast for me already
