Finally got an Evo IX

Just picked it up Saturday! It's as close to stock as I could find. Air intake, rims, BOV, DP, MBC, and boost gauge are the only things aftermarket. As far as mods are concerned, here's what I'm thinking:

OEM BOV (not a fan of rice)
TBE (probably just get a new DP)
Wideband O2
Oil Pressure gauge
Coilovers
UICP/LICP
AMS I/C
Walbro 255 FP

Thoughts/suggestions?

Think you have a good future mod list there. If you're going to replace the BOV (which is a smart move for sure) get the JDM MR blow off valve. (Also called the IX BOV) Don't get the OEM VIII one. But you already knew that since you bought a IX.

I too congratulate you on a great find, and am curious about the car's future.

Race? Autocross? Street terror? Daily driver?

Looks clean on the outside. I'm curious what lowering springs were used. Definitely not stock ride height. Welcome to the Evo community!
