Mods you hated?

[Rboosted717]

Here's my HUGE list:
-AEM intake (boy that thing sucked for FI)
-RS akimoto intake (good back then, but now I have a icebox. Oh well, its on my truck now! Roarrrrrr....!)
-17" axis rims w/S02PP's! (got the rims for cheep, but still I hate them)
-engine bay steel braided line covers (need I say more)
-engine bay red tube covers (need I say more)
-gsr cam for testing (yeah waist of money)
-toda cam gears (did nothing on the dyno)
-msd 6BTM (worthless POS)
-high flow cat (test pipe is better)
-all the show and looks stuff. Yeah its cool, but I'd rather remove it all and buy something that gives power
and the list goes on..........

There's been so many responses that I only just now remembered to say thanks. Seriously, this is all useful information and I'm looking forward to not making any of these mistakes.

Thanks to everybody and please keep 'em coming.

I have a few:

1) Jacob's Electronics "Pro Street" ignition with coil and wires... what a total Piece of Shit. This thing did nothing but suck power from my motor... and had pretty flashing lights in the cockpit for WOT accelleration.

2) Venom 400 control module... I had this before I got the blower and all it did was piss off the stock ECU. Lost 2/10ths in the quarter mile with it on !!!

buying an automatic civic ex and putting mods on it.


i actually don't really regret this because it was my introduction into the import performance culture. i learned a lot of stuff from working on this car and i'm even getting some seat time in autocrosses with it.

BUT, the automatic sucks and the EX is pretty slow. i will be getting a nice new teg GSR within the next two months. it's going to be stick and supercharged! no more bottom half auto-x finishes!

JohnEX...

I started out in the import scene just like you... I bought a '94 Del Sol Automatic SOHC VTEC Si... and even with a supercharger on it, the best 1/4 mile pass it ever made was a 15.32 !!! This motivated me to get into the Hybrid scene... and I am sooooo very glad that I did. The difference in performance from what I had to what I have now is truly amazing.

By the way: the Del Sol is getting a GSR/5 spd. transplant... complete with a Supercharger and all of the important goodies !!!

Stay tuned.
