Like the title says, what would you do if YOU had $10k to spend on a stock Evo X GSR?

Me PERSONALLY?

-Cobb Stage 2 package (2500) (AP and Cobb turboback)
-Intake
-boost/egt/afr guages
-Full dyno tune
-Wheels/tires
-Tint
-mudflaps


And that's it, since my SST won't hold much more power than that stock. Someone correct me if I've missed something.

Take 8k and throw it on the loan for the car.

Take 2k and buy a good cat back system, intake and a tune

+ 1000 I would much rather cut down on the loan as much as possible while still giving my self some fun.

If the car is paid off then I would just take it to a reputable shop and see what can 10K do to accomplish whatever goal I got set in mind for the car.

This is good advice. I waited until mine was almost payed off before I started the serious modifications.

I would do exhaust, Coilovers, wheels, and tune. Then the rest, put toward the loan if you dont own it outright. That way, you have a drop and wheels to make the car look really good and the exhaust and tune to free up some more power..

Cobb 400S kit + an o2 elim downpipe + custom protune, and still have a few grand left over to put towards maintenance, loan payoff, etc.

I'd also get lowering springs, rear anti-sway bar, and a complete short-shifter/shifter bushing set (basically what I have right now).
