What mods have you regretted / changed and why?

[veilsideboyz]

As the title says. This may help some noobs or anyone else looking to mod their car.
Myself I regretted the following:

-Carbon Bonnet !! the quality very bad !!

-My Greddy Power Extreame Exhaust II ..the price is expensive and the sound is too soft !!

-SaFc can't tune igntion..moved to emanage blue gain about 10hp

 

[PocketRocket]

oOo..this is good...

i regret doing my bodykits 1st..now wanna transplant so troublesome...

should have done the insides 1st then the outsides

On second thought, i should've bought a better 2nd hand car than a proton...oh well....

yesterday changed to 1.8" piping... regret coz lost my top speed, sound noisy and decreased throttle response....

 

[AD_EG]

regret buying a speedmeter.it attracts ppl to break in to my car.

another reason is also because how often are you gonna whack top speed? once i had it, i realised it was practically pointless...unless you need the speed cut remover function which i didnt cause i rechipped my ecu.

i also regret buying taiwan rims....haizzz...so easy to dent.japan is the best.

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)
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)

 

[fstr]

banana crack?? JH kah??

my regrets :

1) spending tons of money into engine only to know there are many other faster then you

[HKS-GT2835R]

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!

- not totally removing the old paint on my bonnet before repainting, now (on behalf of the super hot header & cheap ass paintwork) it's crack edy..

- should've photoshopped & compared the car with different set of wheels before buying new ones. now after some time the k-speed is looking not gud anymore la..

- not getting a custom banana header. the stock one is rusting!

- wrong selection of engine (long story). another transplant is expensive, with current hafcut prices costing a tad less than the soyuz (especially hondas) so nxt time will think faaaaaaaaaaar ahead before engine transplants.

no la , not JH :D , hehehe 2nd hand kampung made

 

[omronz]

what i regret :-

to mod my SEG bit by bit, now the engine lost power (using 4A FE only) and riding is rough. It is better to mod all together in one time.

 

[zac]

Trusted a mother fucker bastard so called mechanic (P#tworks Motorsport in Tun Aminah JB)which excellent in talking but do nothing, screwed up my major modification, money, faith... the only good thing is, experience earned!!

 

[veilsideboyz]

I regretted putting in an open port K&N filter into my car......You can hear the low growl but the mid range torque has been totally erased..... Another is the Endless brake pads with Project Mu rotors. The rotors are fine but the brake pads squelling all the time when there isn't enough heat....hai....

thats the characteristics of circuit biased pads. next time get lower end series like VN9500 or SSS should be enough already. no need to buy 0-800 degC pads unless ur really into circuit racing....

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