Favorite Performance Mod

Hi all from a newb to the forum. I am currently in a position to get a new 2005 Ralliart within a few weeks. I was wondering what has been each person's favorite single performance mod (other than tires since we all know they are horrible).

Without even having the car I can tell you what mine would be... Moving, the roads in Louisiana suck!!

Thanks for the posts people!

hey and let me be the first to welcome you to the forum!! glad to see another mitsubishi fan soon to be a driver, and also welcome to the mitsubishi family too! i'm sure a lot of people (correct me if i am wrong) tint their windows first being the first mod to their car. then from there is basically to your liking of what you want to do next. i think the biggest mod is people right now adding evo 8 mods to their RA to make it look an evo which it totally sick! so i would have to say from my observation here on the RA forum of topics, the evo 8 wing is the biggest mod people do to their car after tinting thier windows. hope you have fun with your ra when you get it and good luck too with it! keep us all updated of pics when you get your new car.

hello!
Good choice on the ralliart. I love mine! With in the friest week of owning mine I added a cold air intake, new ground wires, and a cat-back exsaust. The car is fast out of the box so unless your going to a turbo-kit. Thats all you will have to do to the egine as far as I'm conserned. The supension is uber. You dont really need to do anything to it but a up size the rims and G-force tires. I have 18's tho I would recomend 17's.. 18"s just seem a lil to big. If u wanna go even farther road race makes the best Lancer parts. I think the Road Race Rear Anti Sway Bar would be the best up grade your suspension. Go to this link and u can see all the parts that are allready made for the lancer ralliart. http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/ralliart.htm
hope this helps u. This is just my own opinion.

APC aluminum spoilers are a nice addition. Chrome trim from walmart is pretty hot. Ebay intakes are the best power mod. Cut your springs too!!! Drill a hole in your muffler for that powerful sound. And finally, NOS glow in the dark seat covers, mmmmmmmmmm

I think BLKRalliArt04 showed this best, but I don' t think everyone is understanding that I am only asking about performance parts (i.e. Go-Fast Bits). As far as the cosmetics are concerned, I will decide on that later. What I want to know is, what gives the best bang for the buck in the performance corner?
