What mods have you regretted / changed and why?

[angrysnail]

well....this is when the term "live and learn" applies.

Research and destroy to be more accurate..hihi..

 

[arrowhead]

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..

regretted:

- getting myself super-hard GAB absorbers. good la cuz car handles like a go-kart, but bad cuz the ride is damn ruff, can rattle yur gigi palsu easily. i use the car as my daily driver fer god sake!

i'm with u bro.

for my previous ride: 1)regretted getting myself a hard-GAB suspension for my daily ride
2)regretted adding all the unnecessary Pioneer head + Pegasus + JBLs +
amp + wiring etc for my sound system
3)regretted changing to taiwan made rims
all these cost me almost RM15k. wth silly me. i could use this as downpayment money on a house i've learnt my lesson :slug:

thanks for starting this thread finally letting them all out from my chest :argh:

what to do , i got few friends who are very particular when modding , they will tend to go into the depth of the mod b4 doing it , pros vs cons , and they started way earlier than me , so i have to seek them 1st b4 doing anything funny ... lolz

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.
