Hey guys I want to make this thread for a few reasons;

1. To see what mods people first upgrade in their car/truck

2. Help and suggestions for a newbie like me

3. I am planning on getting an Evo x and would love to discuss any first mods for a sports sedan, check my list out and see if I am going in the right direction?



Priority List For Mods(Evo x):
1. Obv check brakes/service/02 sensor
2. ECO upgrade and tune for fuel in area
3. front/rear sway bars
4. Full exhaust
5. BIGGER TURBO? then retune ofc


Edit: I dont plan on modding for a while for warranty reasons.

Stage 0

Wait until you actually have the car before worrying about potential mods.

Go read more on the Evo forums. Read until your eyes hurt...
I jumped into modding my car and its cost me a lot of money. Those forums contain incredible amounts of information, Don't be stupid, Use that information.


My advice on first mod? Escort 9500 IX

I dont plan on modding the car for probably 2 years maybe 3 to keep my warranty.. I just like learning about what others did and their experience



What mods did you do? What went wrong?

That is not a mod.. lol

It's easier to work backwards.
Tell us your power goals and your projected budget for this

Well me telling you mods wouldnt make sense for the car your buying.

mother fucking stage 3 son

I wish lol



Not totally sure at this point.. I drive an 07 civic right now LOL
I would love to hit 350 whp, have a solid suspension, and would like to stay under 5-10k in mods
