Hey guys. Im pretty new to the forum even tho ive been lurking around for awhile. I'm not new to forums tho, ive been a member of cobaltss.net for about 3 years.. I just traded my 07 ss/sc in on an RR Evo VIII..

anybody have any first mods i should do? im think intake and evo 9 bov?

 

evo IX BOV is definitely a good start. Mine came with an aftermarket BOV and I'm taking it off next week. Exhaust is also a good start, with wideband O2...

 

okay thanks man.. i have 74k miles on mine and everyone talks about a 60k service.. you know how i can find out if this was done?

 

Welcome.

I would start with intake, exhaust and suspension (coilovers not springs). After all my mods, I was more content with the coilovers. By far the best performance mod I've done...

 

Depends on how much money u have to put into mods. Exhaust is a good start. Also depends on what ur going to be doing with the car. Is it going to be your daily driver, or maybe tracking the car?

 

its my DD i drive about 50 miles a day

 

+1 on the coilovers if ur driving 50 miles a day def work on suspension. tint windows, new wheels, exhaust

 

You might be able to run a carfax on it, if the service was done at a dealership. If not, you might be able to look at the timing belt and see if it looks relatively new. Coilovers are also a really good start! Do you have an MBC or a boost gauge yet?

 

okay thanks man. ill pull the cover and see... But no boost gauge yet unfortunately.. im used to having one..

 

yea intake and exhaust is wat i started with. brings the car to life and then a good tune after u get your boost controller of course

 

yeah intake im looking at now.. im thinkin about unbolting the muffler and just making a flange and weld a straight pipe to it.. bolt it back up for a muffler delete.. its easy for me seems how i work in a fabrication shop..

 

nice red evo

 

hell0 there...welcome

I would say exhaust, boost controller, wideband, fuel pump possibly

 

Nice car!

 

Was the car completely stock (engine mods) when you picked it up? If so, keeping it stock isn't a bad option.

If that's not your cup of tea... then go the usual route of intake, exhaust, jdm ix mr bov and boost controller

oh yes and as said above walbro, wideband o2 and oil pressure
