What mods have you regretted / changed and why?

[jinkl]

should have not converted my old junk to what it is now and use the money spend converting, modifying, stroking, squeezing every last drop of horsepower of my 20 year old engine to a newer, purpose built evo 8 or 9. rather than spend more than 50K on something that other people refer it as a SAGA TURBO. tiu nia seng...

you still ok compare to mine.. at least still SAGA turbo newer car generation... to-date wid recent projects and so on i spent not less than 80k on mod alone to get my OLD JUNK 1980 TT132 to be street-able,drag-able,drift-able, look-able , most want-able by police and the worst is to get it Reputable wid all the mods ... due to a sickness which is the enemy of all men. EGO ...

most regretable thing is seeing my bank account suppose to be very wonderfull, beautiful,plentifull become Horrible, terrible when i start to get addictive to anything on wheels including cars, cupchai,superbikes, motorcross, atv and bicycle.

suppose to cultivate a hobby like playing chess , main guli , flying kites and so on ... definitely save alot

------------------------

back to topic..... regretfull mod i did on my car is putting this engine in this car.. should have put it in an altezza for better handling... :sleep:

ya bro, but it will never end regardless of u knowing how dangerous it is!

and once u got abit of cash, u will instead think of scrapping ur current car and go for a "jdm" sports car... i'm at that stage at the moment... *sigh*

but i got robbed by my health insurance, car insurance, road tax and regular service bills... yay to that..

 

[xtremeleo]

so far ive no regret on mods, the only i regret is on my past accidentes, body keta senget baii.. now, cannot drive fast dah:slug:

 

[labulabi]

i dont know should i regret or should I not..

car mods really is a disease.

$$$$ burned.

what's done is done

just live with it.

 

[Shanashi]

my regrets

using tulang ikan as boost controller (cos i blew the engine up)
buying re001r tyres ( cos the grip is not nice)
buying iridium spark plugs ( cos it gave zero improvements)
tebuk stock manifold to put wastegate (cos the welding chipped and eat my turbine wheel)<--- WAH
buying evo3 gb (cos the 1st and 2nd gear sux)
buying custom banana header (cos the welding cracks always)
buying modified stock shocks (it leaked within a month)
buying tein ss springs (it sucked totally)

regretted - playing car

Bump:

i regretted most is... joining zerotohundred.

why? cuz it made me a car enthusiast.

AND

cuz of that, i decided to mod my car and ever since, i've been spending so much on my car regardless of the need of the item...

sigh.. i believe alot of u guys will agree with me. lol. cheers

okok but actually i regretted changing my entire rear bushing to "oem" honda's. after 1 year (which is now) i believe i need to change it again... haih... i guess it was honda thailand ... doesnt last like honda japan.. sucks to be me..

oh fark i jez read this....i changed to so called OEM honda bushing for lower arm....dang kaput so fast ah....ya its thailand admitted by shop owner not japan...crap should have jez bought whole lower arm set which costed few hundred bucks more

 

[arrowhead]

shanashi : get those PU bushings like superpro or energy, i believe they have a much much longer lifespan.. im saving for 1 now..
