[QUOTE="Golfer, post: 788751, member: 15668"] EE9 - Evo's ride is meant to be quite harsh, unless you stick to the standard oris. So, when your gf is in the car and complains, you have to give her the spin abt Evos. I don't think anyone who owns an Evo would be complacent with the standard specs, surely something will appeal, whether its for looks or performance. Personally, I like the performance bit and I'd rather spend more on performance parts. Having said, my first mods (to be) are more for the looks, BUT, there is a reason for it (on the theory that all mods should take into account future mods) Take it easy on mods unless your budget is quite sizeable. As anyone who is into mods would be able to verify, these performance or non-performance parts for that matter can be quite costly. My opinion on mods: 1. Always start with the handling of the car. A fast car is does not mean that it is safe car, unless you plan to only travel fast on a straight road. A fast and powerful car will need to be complimented by a car that can turn well, with minimal body roll to avoid under/oversteer. In this regard, struts, braces, anti-roll bars etc should be considered. A fast car also needs to be able to stop fast, so brakes are important. 2. Once you are satisfied with the handling, I'd start with exhaust system. Go for a full exhaust upgrade if you can afford it. Manifold pipe, down pipe, decat, cat-back, the works. Otherwise, the cat-back by itself should give you noticeable power increase. 3. Next would be the engine, air-intake and transmission parts - such as cams, pistons, valves, flywheel etc. This will also usually means that you will need to consider the ECU as with the change of exhaust (previously done), cam and air-intake, your fuel/air ratio will need to be reset. 4. Then perhaps the radiator, intercooler, pipings etc. 5. Turbo upgrade - which can go hand in hand with intercooler. Upgrading turbo will usually means that the cooling ability of the car needs to be upgraded. Changing turbo will also open up various little tweaks here and there, fuel rail, pumps etc. Anyway, this is my 2 cents. I think everyone has their own opinions/style. [/QUOTE]
