I'd say leave it stock and get a tune for now. tunes are good for up to 100ish whp
should i really tune the evo as soon as i get it, i mean after i break it in?, the main reason im goin to wait to get any bolt on is becuz to make sure the ones i get r good, and the motor is broken in, 100ish HP form a tune?, thats a lot

To the OP congrats on getting approved in this crappy economy and enjoy your new whip when you get it . It's a fun car (regardless of what some 8/9 owners have been commenting), and I too have it as my first AWD, first turbo, and it's even my first stick for that matter.
the extra 100ish HP is a lil much i think from just a tune, but trust i will balance both my bolts on and tunes, this car shoudl be really fun to drive and upgrade
i remember when i told my dad when he buys me my first car make sure it not a hatchback and not a automatic, and i one b4 my senior year of highschool started that exactly what he bought me, I HATED IT!!!! but after drivin it for 2.5 years i swap the motor for a jdm b18c and converted it to a stick, that was fun so i still drive that car now, I cant c myself w/o it even after i get the Evo, dont plan on ever gettin rid of it, theres first time for everything for everybody at some point in our lives right... ill post pics when i pic up the EVO
do me a favor help me with the acrynoms, BEC, MBc...wha....? lol little help
P.S. y do 8 and 9 owners hate the X?

220 words in your post, only 4 sentences. Your punctuation is horrible.

Stop typing posts like you're sending a text message and more people will be inclined to read it.

OP:

I've merged your various threads about trying to buy an Evo; we don't need a new thread every time you have a new advance in this endeavour. Post here from now on, thanks.

I think he's right about the Navi. Just have them ship you one from South Coast Mitsu. You won't find one cheaper.

FYI - Please use periods. That looks like one big run-on sentence, lol.
