What Kind of Enthusiast Are You?

[Doubletap]

Light mods. I intend to keep the car looking as stock as possible though. Only things I did "cosmetically" are clear side markers, mudflaps, and bottom rear diffuser, all of which are stock items in other parts of the world. Engine wise, it's just a drop-in filter and I might delete the sound tube hose. To add just a touch of personalization, I put some red trims in the interior, changed the shift base from silver to black as it tends to catch the sunlight and causes glare.

There are 100s (1,000s?) that never leave their specific subs. Same with the regionals. Pretty much a set crowd and the noobs that frequent General or Off Topic.


I get bored and actually pay attention to such things.

I voted light mods because I never really have enough 'extra' money to blow on heavy mods (although I may install a supercharger, just on my FRS), California is a PITA when it comes to engine mods, and I like to keep it low-key so I do minimal "make it mine" mods.

Light mods...buuuuuut now that my build is 99% complete, I find myself being tempted to go for more heavier mods...(ex: super or turbo charge, coilovers). This mod addiction never ends. It just goes in a lull until you get bored and restless again.

Now if this question was asked in the FI or suspension subs the results could be dramatically different.

I think rarely do people in a forum like this tie the word enthusiast with 100% stock and original when talking about a new car like the twin. So I choose to support this classic car choice.

Ditto.

I had to go with heavy since I have a header + tune and just added coilovers and other suspension bits.

Now if the twin is not as good performance wise out of the box, would heavy mods take the lead?

Without a doubt yes.

Being a young kid you would expect me to be into heavy mods but I'm going for a lightly modded twin. This is my daily driver and I skipped out buying the car of my dreams because of this cars reliability and how fun to is, eventually this car will see some track time 😬

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 I've liked those cars since I was a little kid (before I ever saw it in fast and furious ) and I found one in perfect condition 1st owner, but knowing so much about those cars I talked myself out of it, they're just not a car j can beat on at the track and drive home with the twins are so I ended up with my frs and I'm satisfied and extremely happy with it, wouldn't change my decision

Good call.
I bought my first Mitsu product (well AMC) which was an Eagle talon AWD TSI in 93 and had 3 different lancers since then and although I never really had any issues with any of them an Evo could have been a whole different story. We couldn't have any Evo before the X in Canada anyway so even though I always lusted after them I have never even drove one. I considered an X but liked the idea of the FRS better as a DD.

I've ridden in one when I was younger being when I fell in love with them, but doing so much research I know a lot about these cars and can be good for a DD for the most part now as a track/DD never. FRS is just perfect for me IMO
