You have a nice brand new beautiful IX.

Why not just enjoy it and save your money ?

Invest in a good ROTH IRA or Mutual fund.

If you must spend some money, just go for the basics, TBE, panel filter, maybe a flash.

That will give a good bang for the buck and wont break the bank.

I say coilovers, rims, and navigation to spice up that dull interior along with Rich's Orbital Prestige 2 din kit.

Every evo needs street glow and lambo doors. I'd start there.

Then you don't frequent the board often, because we say it all the time.

Devolutionist, if you're asking what mods for 6k, then here ya go:

- Warrtalon/Buschur package = $1270
- Walbro Fuel Pump = $85
- LICP = $225
- ported/coated stock mani = $195
- ported/coated stock hotside = $195
- coated SS O2 housing = $200
- SMC alky = $500
- BR FMIC = $695
- Exedy Twin HD = $1500

That's around $4900 and will put you at or above 400whp/400wtq with a clutch that will hold all the power and last a long time. Use the rest for installation costs or some minor things like SS clutch line, SS brake lines, upgraded pads, upgraded brake fluid, rear sway, etc.

Go fast stuff:
1) Vishnu Xflash/ECUtek (best IX flash solution by far in my experiences)
2) Full 3" dump-back exhaust of your choice w/ cat and test pipe
3) Rear swaybar of your choice

Bling stuff:
4) 18" Volk CE28N rims in the color of your choice

Thanks for the intelligent answer. I think there are alot of tools here that just post to up their post count. When you say "coated" exactly what material are you referring too? Ceramic? Or some other heat diminishing coat?

Warrtalon installs all of this for free on your car which is the reason for the lack of installation costs on the list. He does a clutch in 30 minutes

You quoted me saying this, "That's around $4900 and will put you at or above 400whp/400wtq with a clutch that will hold all the power and last a long time.

lol, I was just reading that part before seeing your post thinking "wtf?"

I agree with WT's list except i'd cross out the alky kit and FMIC and replace them with a decent set of coilovers.

Intake, Cams, TBE, Boost controller, Fuel Pump, Custom Reflash for power mods.

Coilovers for suspension.

IX rear bumper for looks.
