please help!

guys dilemma, the time is nearing and i wanna know what to do.. should i do suspension (springs, strut bar, sway bar) and rims? because that can easily be changed back to stock for sale, or should i do suspension and interior leather. it is my first car and if if i want a fast car should i hold out for something else? maybe even the new Evo VIII ?

If you want a fast car...then hold out yer plans of modding, that's ONLY if you want a fast car. Now in other words I'd go with the spring, strut bar, and sway bar rather than purchasing interior leather. Or vise-versa whatever you want.

Do the sus mods, then intake/exhaust. Interior can wait.

If you want a faster car and it's in your price range, why not go with an Evo? Lancers are nice in their own right, but if you can make the step up then go for it.

If you decide to stick with your Lancer, which is a nice secondary option to have , most all of the mods out right now are bolt ons and can be fairly easily removed.

Outside of the leather interior, you can pretty much detach anything you choose to attach to the car.

Intake, test pipe, exhaust are as simple as the bolts that they're held on with. Header I'm not sure of cuz I haven't done that mod myself. Springs don't seem to problematic and neither does the rear sway bar or front strut bar.

As for order of importance, I agree with booyah that the interior can definitely wait. Get some go-fast parts and handling parts first.

If you want a fast car hold back on moding the Lancer and wait until you have some cash to buy a car with more possibilities.

and if i hold on to the lancer and make mods that can easily be changed if i wanna sell it, its it almost a waste of money to make any mods at all? or should i like split the body kit payment with my parents and then pay for the other mods suspension and such myself? or avoid body kit and ust lower it? is it worth it?
