because race car.

I'm looking to get some of the best performance pieces for my 2008 evo x because imma start racing it hopefully by next summer. I need sugestions. So far I have my recaro race seats and my mud flaps. I've had it for about 2 weeks now. And I'm begging for new stuff. Pms and comments would be lovely.

Rally racing
Willing to spend a lot. No limit.

First of all, you did not tell us what kind of racing you are going to do. Road Racing? Autocross? Drag Racing? Rally Racing? Each one will require different mods. Since you have mud flaps, sounds like you are going to do rallies. You really need to detail out your plans for your car as well as your budget. How can anyone help you if you do not tell us how you will race the car and how much you have to spend?

SCCA Rally Racing?

Do you hold a competition license?

About $50-60k (safety, suspension, gearing, tires, spares). Not to mention the tow vehicle and trailer.

Since you have no limit.... err want to donate to the make my car better fund? It's a non-propfit organization which offers huge gains to those invovled ... but yeah if you want to do rally, you are looking upawards of 100k for everything honestly.

Well think about it, you are going to have to mod the car like crazy, then you are going to need a trailer, a vehicle to tow said trailer, extra parts in case of anything breaking. You might be better off getting into AutoCross or the track. With unlimited funds, check out the power package AMS has for $26,000

If the OP is going to do rally racing, he should contact Robevo. He knows the classes and requirements. Plus, he can suggest which mods to do. Unlimited budget and the OP drives a used 2008 X? In all my years on forums, I have never met someone or read about said person who had an unlimited budget for a car like an Evo X. I could suggest other cars that might be more appropriate given the unlimited budget, but whatever...

Cough, troll, cough.

At "not bad". That's $60,000 and 100,000. Some of big regional teams I race with approach $2,000,000. They do race a Lexus Prototype after all.

And never answered if he was licensed to even race those events. Add costs of schools and feeders to get to that series into the 60-100k budget.

Well, I was going to suggest shenanigans, but I am too kind. And, the OP will never answer the question. Troll indeed.

Well I got in a horrid accident when I was younger so I'm basically paid a lot to live monethly and bi annually. So I'm able to do what I've wanted to do for 6 years now. Being that I'm a female, people laugh at my idea of racing it. But I'm going to try.
I'm already the fastest car in my group of show cars atm. I just want to get it on a track honestly.
