Keep Evo IX Standard or Mod?

[ChrisCC]

As above really,

I've got a 56 Plate Evo IX FQ-300 and its TOTALLY standard, exhaust, pads, discs everything - even the mats!
Full Main Dealer History - Ralliart - Every Stamp and bill.
2 Owners from new. 58k with Cambelt done, and new AYC pump (which ill getting done shortly)

Just thinking from a resale perspective, would it be worth and appeal to more standard? Or is not really too much of a big deal.

Just thought its quite rare to find a tottally standard one?

Any advice would be appricated

When I was looking to purchase an Evo it had to be low mileage,full service history and completely stock standard!! But I can tell you this much I won't be doing that again!!

Everybody is different so do as you feel is best for you! Plus if you have the room you could keep the standard parts and put them back on when you want to sell up.

Yeah I did think about that as Ive got a room. Only thing is, if i go down the induction,exhaust, remap route.

If I put the original exhaust and airbox back on will I need to get it mapped back to standard? Or could I leave the map on and wouldnt cause any trouble?

Cheers Chris

you would need to get it remapped to standard if you put induction and exhaust back to standard as the exhaust flow and air flow will be different because it would of been mapped to account for the upgrades... air,fuel and boost gets changed in mapping!

Bombproof in standard form, soon as you get modding you open the flood gates to spending ££'s

Sounds like wise advice!

Do feel coming from an M3 I shoulda got a 360 or 400. as sometimes the 300 feels a little "slower"
