Should I CONTINUE modding my Lancer?

I want to know everybodys opinion whether I should continue modding my Lancer or just save my money for downpayments for evo (probably a year from now or so). So far for the performance I have cai, header, and axle exhaust. Exterior: evo 7 hood, front and rear bumper. I already have about 2g in my bank and I was thinkin getttin another 2g for turbo. What do you think guys, should I just stop modding my car just continue. For me, I want to stop and save my money.

EDIT: I'm not planning to sell my car anymore.

If I were you I'd save up for the Evo... that is to say if it is within your means. There is only so much you can do to a lancer but the fun is working on it to make it different, unique and totally your own creation. It's all your choice man.

That's what I've been doing and the last time I did something to my car was like 6-7 months ago. Anyways, I ever get an evo, I'll just keep stock for like over year or so.

I'm into both, show and go.

keep it looking decent and spend money on handling mods, springs (or coilovers), strutbars, good rims/tires

I'm in the same dilemma as you. I decided to stop modding and save up for the evo.

For most cars, you won't be rightside up until you're on your 4th out of 5 years.

If your plannin on trading it or selling it for an Evo then I wouldn't do anything else to it if you want to keep it and drive instead of gettin an Evo then by all means turbo that bish
