so im alittle unsure on what is should do next with my evo...im not use to the aftermarket support for my car haha i was use to my ralliart which all i really had to choose from was a handfull of companies...my evo already has an AEM short ram, and a full exhaust...but now im not sure were to go from here...im thinking suspention but would like to have more power too hahaha...i usually track my car on friday nights at Adams Motorsports Park here in riverside...any tips or advise...

 

fuel pump, mbc, LICP and a dyno tune should bump up the power quite nicely.... my 2 cents

 

^ what he said,, tune is most important though.

 

if you are tracking it every friday you need to save up for a clutch now! some cams and meth in addition to the previous post as well

 

yeah, clutch doesnt last very long in stock form. exedy twin disc are good

 

Unless you have a big budget, I'd do the basic bolt-ons and a tune for power. You'll probably get more enjoyment from an adjustable suspension and better tires at the track than more power for the straights. Not sure about the stock tune on the IX's but my X ran like a dog before my tune...

 

congrats on your new ride! How much can you spend? Thats what will be the deciding factor...I always say build your drivetrain first....then power.

 

yeah i forgot to add that i already have a MBC haha i was thinking throwing on some suspension upgrades like coilovers and a new sway bar and stuff...for the track i drive at its kind of small for big power...i do wanna get a tune and maybe tune my boost to 23pounds...anyone know what coilover are the best bang for your buck, i was looking at BC racing coils...i dont really wanna slam it, i just want it stiff enough to eliminate body roll...i pretty much wanna get to about 350-400whp since its my daily...but that will probably take alot of work right...

 

You may want to look into a matching set of front/rear anti-swaybars.

 

honestly i would get mr bilstiens and some swift springs before wasting money on crappy made in Taiwan coilovers. also you could add bigger swaybars to get the balance you desire. If you are road racing your car the best investment is seat time and professional training. if you just want a slammed car then by all means buy some junk coilovers

 

well like i said i dont want it slammed cause its bad enough i scrap on stock ride hight haha i dont need to be ripping my bumper off on speedbumps haha...i thought the SE evo alread comes with the bilstein shocks...yeah i could use some practice on a track but thats why i drive on friday night...its not comp driving its just practice night ls for the grip and drift drivers...they hold time attack there on tuesday nights...so i think you guys have helped me make up my mind...im gonna work on suspension first...and driving haha power will come later on...

 

you race at Adams too? only 2 evo's there are fast.. the red skull one and white heavily modded one.. everyone else there is slow =P

 

yeah i havent been to tuesday time attack...i usually go fridays cause its practice...plus i get to drive for free since i work on the track thursdays...

 

so i was just offered a larger evo intercooler from a friend of mine, for $150 bucks...im gonna buy it but i was told not to put it on with a stock turbo cause it will create alot of turbo lag...is this true...should i wait to put it on...any advise or tips...
