Hi Guys! This is my first post but i've been viewing this site everyday. Sorry if i post this in the wrong section. Now down to business.

I'm interested in buying an Evo X. I originally wanted to get the MR because of the Premium package, i like the navigation,leather recaro seats and sound system. I was turned off by the MR after i read on this site that the MR tranny cant hold more than 350lb of torque. My intention is to mod it to get more power. I'm aiming for around 500lb torque.
I guess im forced to get the GSR but i really want the leather recaros and navigation and sound package, also the ability to mod the car to get to my power goals. Because of this i had to learn to drive stick and have gotten alot better at it and now feel confident to drive on a major street.
I've saw in a performance magazine a navigation kit that has same featues as the one in the MR i.e hard drive space.
Are those aftermarket navigation kits better than the factory ones?
Does it make sense to get a GSR for the power and mod it to have the liveability of the MR?
I want to make the seats leather and get a wicked sound system and a nav kit. How much would something like that cost doing it aftermarket with labour costs and everything?
Thanks for your replies in advance!!!

 

one option you have is to buy a us-spec sss gsr with the navice, only downside is that you won't have warranty. or you can just buy the MR and hope someone comes out with a solution for the MR tranny to handle more hp/tq
