I’m torn on if I should keep it stock or just do some slight mods. If I do mod it plans are to stay in the 400-450hp range

Hello newbie here. Just got me a JDM Lancer/Mirage 1993 CA-CE frame with CB1A model. Hoping to convert it to look and feel like an EVO I someday. BTW suspension/brakes upgrade is the first thing on my mind.

Now thats some solid advice lol! Maybe it’s because it’s new to me but I’m loving the car so much I don’t think I can get rid of it!

I kept a fairly stock car for a long time (bought as a broke college student) but drove the hell out of it. Slow compared to 400whp but the reliability was unmatched!

I mean even stock it feels really good. It definitely gets up and goes, but I probably won’t keep it stock for too long. It currently only has 46k miles
