ok i will focus on suspension and lightning the car up.

Ohlins coilovers, light seats, and lithium battery. I have a well paying job too but I would not want to spend my time at the dealer if something goes wrong with my engine just yet.

I know you want it all and you want it now--but it can wait till you are a little more financially sound--( not trying to sound like a DAD)..
Good Luck.

Haha I'm surprised to have people agreeing. I had my flame suit prepared before posting that reply, lol.

Coilovers, light seats, and a battery sounds fine, butters149. The idea is perhaps to have 40% of your income invested, 30% spend on necessities and lifestyle (like your awesome Evo), 20% saved for reasonably risk free building up of wealth, and 10% prepared for the unlikely events of curve ***** thrown at you.

What are you even trying to do with your car?

I just purchased my X and out the box my boosted Lancer GTS was making more power than the Evo. I couldn't stand how slow it was comparatively so for about 1100 dollars I was able to pick up AMS Catback and test pipe, ETS intake, UICP, and GS 3 port with a tune will get you over 300whp easy! It doesn't take much to make power in these cars.

Really depends on what your goal is with the vehicle. Personally I tend to lean more on the power side over suspension. If we can help you out in anyway, let us know!

Thanks,

Michael
