i just put a down payment on an 08 evo. what is the first thing i should do to it, when i get it? (just so you guys no i am new to the whole evo thing, i just started gettin into cars)

 

The first upgrade you should do is driving. No joke, they are pretty fast stock.

+10000000

 

If you want to try some modding, get a drop in filter and cat back exhaust. We don't know much about parts for the X yet, so I'm just giving suggestions that I'd give for any import.

 

Yes, just like any new car...get the feel for it. Try it out at an event or something to learn it's limits; then improve upon them.

 

First off congrats on getting one of the coolest cars out there period

But yeah just like everyone's saying defiantly don't rush modding that beast just yet, take you're time to get to know the handling and clutch really well first, cause no matter how much you mod a car, the best mod is the driver

Evo FTW lol

 

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.

 

you should let me drive it so I can show you the extents of the beast!

 

Learn to control the car in a slide...in an empty parking lot.

 

if you don't you'll spin it. we hear about crashed evos every week on here.

 

I'm with the practical suggestions! Learn the car, then upgrade parts. It would seem the EVO X has a new exhaust layout, it may take sometime before we can see modification support from companies.

 

Coilovers.

 

Boost gauge?

 

tint, drive and wait.
