Hi im brandon, im new to evos but i just picked up a 2005 rally red evo with 70000 miles, looking and searching right now to further modd. I will post pics soon. I came from the srt4 world i liked the torque but needed traction so im here and have a car with all wheel drive now. If you could give any pointers on what brands or things to do that would be very much appreciated thanks. my car modds as follows:

AMS front mount intercooler
Hotcikis front and rear sway bar
forge blow off valve
tomie exhaust dump to 3 inch downpipe with megan catback
running only 19 pounds
tunned by AMS at least thats what seller said

 

First off welcome and congrats on the purchase

My names Branden actually

Looks like you got a decent small bolt on list so far! This thread is awesome especially for new evo owners, give it a read you'll learn a lot before spending money on something

Congrats on the purchase, search & read also find a good tuner.

 

Evo > SRT Neon. Welcome. You made the right choice. Now mod away!

 

welcome dude.

 

Thanks for replies, im not sure if i can find any tunners in oklahoma.

 

I know it's a long drive but KevinD at Evolution Dynamics in Lewisville works on my Car I highly recommend him.

 

ok thanks sorry ill get some pics up im on leave for christmas right now so soon as i get back on the forth ill post some.

 

Congrats and welcome!

My suggestion is before you get to modding make sure your 60k service stuff was done!! Water pump, timing belt, etc. Thats very important. Unfortunetly if it wasnt done it needs to get done ASAP!

As far as brands, I'm a big fan of ETS (Extreme Turbo Systems), and Buschur. They both make an amazing product at very fair prices! I've had all of my ported parts done by PPI (Paradigm Performance Innovation). They are awesome to deal with.

Hope this helps! Best of luck!

 

Welcome Brandon, congrats on your buy! I too just bought a rr evolution 9 right before christmas. I must say I love it. I'm sure its a huge step up after owning a SRT. What are your plans for your car? Do you want to bring it on the track or keep it on the streets? I would maybe consider tunning for E85. The one I bought had 76,000 miles and I've been told that the 60k needs to be done! It's very important with these cars, its not like most cars where you can push it off.

 

Thanks for all your replies. The waterpump timing belt was done and tune up also then tuned by AMS, also I want to have street/ drag strip car so far I love the all wheel drive launching is really different ha! Here's some pics.

 

here is some pics of srt4 then upgraded to my evo........i built the srt4 myself. pics are from present to past. then the evo save best for last.










Here is the evo i picked up
