I agree with the peeps saying put it towards the loan. Maybe keep a couple grand for wheels, intake, CB and tune.

Holy crap. What the hell happened to that MR? I wish this was just a cruel PhotoShop joke.

Take the 10k, put it with what the cost of the car is, and buy the cleanest, lowest mileage Alpine White E90 M3 manual I could find.

It really depends on what your goals are.... If your looking for 500whp or looking to have the cleanest ride. I would say the majority of the guys on this board are towards performance... I'm the same way. Check out this thread, it has a lot of product testing.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ts-thread.html

My personal recommendation is a turbo kit and support mods and rock the stock block right around 500whp on pump gas at less then 27psi.

wheels, coilovers, bolt-ons, rest on loan. Unless you dont have a second car. I'd definitely get a DD. I bought a 2k civic to get me around on the week days.

I dont know why people always go straight to a turbo upgrade. The Stock unit is good for 380+WHP at sensible boost levels with very little lag. So it should be one of the last things you do!

Go to vegas and put it all on black. Come back here and start another thread how to clean the tears off the seats or what would you do with $20k to your evo.

I'd vinyl wrap the car with that question first...

then upgrade with the suggestions that have been found on the car via post it notes.

odds are people will tell you to remove the vinyl.

Lambo doors, 22s, bags, a huge wing, and underglow.


All kidding aside, I'd probably take that 10k and pick up a Ducati 848.
