its a black and beautiful 9, runs a mild tune and 3inch turbo back, has whitelines, yoko advans and handles quite well. I've been posting here for a few months and got some great info re mods etc.

The thing is,its so original, I can't bare to start modding this beast, I read about bushes and coil over mods etc, in takes, all the 100 buck plus mods post I have read.. but as it is...it sort of does everything well already.

I have pushed it quite hard in corners and it seems to rise up and down a little on hard cornering but does this justify 3 grand on Tein coil overs, probably not, could it do with a little more power, yeh probably but it still over takes cars like a jet on short straights so more power might just get me in more trouble.

Anyway back to my work and enoy reading all those mod posts in the general forum

 

Congrats on the new evo. I remember when I first got my VIII I was the same way. I drove her a bit before I decided to start modding. I wanted to familiarize myself with the car before throwing parts on her, which is what I recommend most new owners should do. Gives you a good baseline.

 

Get used to the car as it is now, then after a while when the car starts feeling slow to you then start modding.

 

enjoy it for now, then enjoy it more with more power!

 

I have (or had) the same situation as you. Black 9 MR, mostly stock when I bought it.

I aimed to clean up the shifting with upgraded shifter base & underhood bushings, along with a BLOX front motor mount. After that, the shifting feels soooo good. No more loose and rubbery shifting

Now I've added upgraded cams, fuel pump and LICP (already came with exhaust/intake) but not sure how much further I want to go with it. It's fast enough for me at the moment....

 

Congrats on the new Evo, have fun with it.

 

Go drag, autocross or do a track day. It will change your perspective. Mods will make more sense
