I REALLY want to mod. I just don't have the money at the moment because my life kind of snowballed within the last 8 months. I drive my EVO everyday and it just feels so sluggish now. Anyone else feel the same?

well first off I owned a Lightning and I don't know what the heck you did but they can handle a lot of mods without any serious problems. I'm going to guess you did some serious bolt ons andnever got a tune. In the end you drove it like you stole it and your interals couldn't take the compression rate. I blew a spark plug through my hood a few winters ago just because it sat in the garage unused for three days in under 30 degree weather. So my guess is that was your fault.
Everyone here remembers your post about how the Evo was too much for you. I mean by all means if you want to make it fast go for it dude. It'll be one more Evo that gets parted out to all these guys on here. You need to learn the car limits stock before you intend to upgrade. A lot of people on here do modify their cars prior to knowing the limits of their vehicles. Some have accidents some don't.
I just get the idea that you aren't the best driver in the world and I think making your Evo faster is a good way to get yoursef and worst case someone else killed. Maybe you should take some sport car classes or attend some driving events. You need to understand the car before you try to be a racer car driver.
Im not the best driver in the world, but I have a clean record and I don't endanger other peoples' lives on the road. I have an STi it is a fast car, does it need to be faster? Probably not, but I will mod it once I get fully comfortable with the car.
Just my thoughts.

your wrong. i had a RWTD 17 degree tune installed. oh yeah those 4 threads holding the sparkplugs in the head on the 99-02's hold up to mods real well. almost as well as the motors huff coolant and oil through the intake. no my motor sucked in a bunch of cold dense air ran lean and chipped a piston scratching the sidewall
yes my typin skills relate heavily to my driving

when you can drive 70 miles through 8" of snow in whiteout conditions in a 2wd pickup that has 550 ftlbs of torque or even change your own oil you can tell me how to drive. ive driven through stuff that the majority of you training or not wouldnt be able to go more than 10-mph in and i do it almost everyday. most of you think its horrific driving conditions when it rains

if you're so sure of what happened, why mod those exceptionally unrelaible 99-02's?
either way, we're not talking fords.
if you do not want to take our advice, fine. continue to mod your evo and take that curve at 110 next time.

lol. WHY would ANYONE of sound mind choose to drive through 70 miles of snow of any depth in a 2wd truck. stop proving your mindless tenacity and stick to modding your doomed evo.

i didnt say they're exceptionally unrelaible. they have issues though. the rods on the 99-00's are supposed to be stronger. but ive heard soo many stories of guys with huge lower pulleys spitting rods its not even funny

all im saying is you live in minnesota, which is...well, not known for its balmy winters. you can call it a blizzard or whiteout or whatever, its not like its unexpected, ya know? and while im on the subject, weren't you on stock tires when you had your accident?
