getting an evo
Take it from me who has crashed an Evo before that was nowhere near "stock". Learn to drive the car before you even THINK about modding it, especially power modifications. Loss of control can happen at any time - I wasn't even "messing around" with my evo, and it was DONE.
So BE CAREFUL. Learn to drive it! Then mod it.

ive had mine since Feb and its completely stock except for the window tint that i had done the first week i bought the car and i def agree with what everybody else has been saying...take the car out to the tracks and autocross with it and get the feel for its capabilities and go on from there...once u get a good feel for that then start modding and appreciate the gains a lot more rather than doing mods to it and not knowing the gains that u made
to start yourself out the best mods u can do at first is get a good tune, an intake, and a turbo-back exhaust and then go on from there if u want more than that...from the guys i know they still say that those were the best gains that they felt when they started out

You've got plenty of time before the super-tuned competition isht comes out. Have fun being one of the first on the road. It may not be for you, but having a unigue car is important to me, and if you can do that without mods($$) then milk it.
Congrats and welcome to EvoM. Oh yeah, and welcome to the most time/money consuming hobby... EVER!

I just here to tell you that if your getting one with the DSG tranny then you won't be able to mod it until the ECU is cracked. That should give you some time to enjoy the car for what it is and learn it's limits and just have some fun with it, cause once you start modding is when **** starts breaking.
Don't break it in too easy or you will end up with a weak motor. Break it in like you would normally drive, unless you drive like a bastard, then drive it like a normal person would drive
Don't AWD launch it till at least your first scheduled oil change lol. But in all reality, you can beat the **** out of the car from day one if you want, thats what the warranty is for.
