Hello everyone,

I'm stuck and need some suggestions. Some money has come my way ($1900) and after literally days/weeks of research I just don't know where to put it on the Evo. Some background: Evo 9 MR, 380 AWHP, 355TQ, 30k miles. List of mods:

Power
BR TBE, Kelford 272s, ETS LICP, AMS 3.5" FMIC, FORGE UNOS MBC, Perrin Intake System, AEM Uego, Prosport Boost Gauge

Suspension
Swift Spec-R springs, Agency Power 27mm Rear Sway

On Hand/On order already
Megan O2, PPI ported ex mani and hotside, Whiteline: RCK, Bump steer kit, precision steering kit

I am interested in autocross (thanks chemwarrior!) and know my suspension needs to be tightened up, but I don't want to get so-so coilovers and have to buy better ones later. So, where would my money best be spent?

Items I am looking at:
Perrin PSRS, Whiteline front sway, Energy suspension master bushing kit, ported intake mani (MAP;$229, BR;$199, or PPI;$49), 65mm throttle body (Mil.Spec; $289, PPI; $249), 1000 cc injectors, Aluminum driveshaft (??), Beatrush propeller shaft bushings, AMS motormounts, endlinks (??). Anything else???

Obviously, all of the above parts total more than $1900 and some require a tune. However, does the ported ex mani, O2, and hotside require a new tune? I'm trying to have more money go to parts than installation/tune.

Thank you

you could buy a set of 2 piece lightweight girodisc rotors, that's ha I would get if I had the money

What about a good set of brake pads, lightweight wheels (although the stock BBSs are already pretty light), and/or better tires. Are you trying to stay within a certain class in Autocross, or just looking to do mods that will benefit you on the street as well?

Are you on the stock fuel pump? And what is E-85 availability like in your area? If you are going to go with bigger injectors, maybe bump them up to 1250cc+ injectors and make the switch to E-85.

My first buy with that money would be the aluminum driveshaft. I know that AWD sells an awesome peice that a friend of mine had gotten and he loves it. If I'm not mistaken there under $800. Then with the left overs just pick and chose what else you want from your list.
Good luck!!

with the AWD aluminum drive shaft you have to send yours to them and it is $695! But I would go with some AWD Motorsports spec D2 Racing coilovers for $1095 and then save the rest!

I'll be getting new wheels/tires next April in time for autocross. I'm not particular about staying in a certain class, my car is mostly DD with some autocross (though I want mods that will complement both).

I do have the Walbro, forgot to include it on the list. E-85 is pretty much a no-go in my area, only 3 stations have it. I wad thinking about the FIC Bluemax 1250s because eventually Iwould like to make the switch to E-85 when feasible.

ported mani and a twin plate clutch, your going to need one soon if you keep pushing the HP envelope

i believe a ported manifold and hotside will need a retune.
