Picking up my first EVO tomorrow. What should be doing to it first to get the most enjoyable experience? I like acceleration over top speed and turbo & BOV noise. Suggestions?

 

Suggest you just get it, drive it a bit, get used to it, then see what you find lacking / what you want to adjust. A lot of people jump into a car, modify it, and regret it because they never really took the time to get to know the car before throwing power at it.

My .02 cents - enjoy the car it's a fantastic machine

 

Put the undertray back on. It's pretty important for proper cooling. Also keeps the engine bay cleaner.

 

Eagle eyed Razorlab! The under tray is ~$100 from the dealer or you can look at the SSP multi-piece for ~$400

I would be surprised if that car doesn't have a tune on it. Also, most power mods on these cars require a re-tune so don't just slap parts on!

 

Thanks for the info on the underlay. I will replace it. Good eyes.

 

I had the same question when I got my EVO. This is very helpful: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...g-dummies.html
