We figured the UTEC would be on your list Jack.

 

only 24 to 25 psi- yea i have no idea how that happened

 

must have been a fluke^^^

but yea them bov's are complete junk on these cars. so many drivability issues

 

Actually it was probably a counterfit... the HKS SSQV is one the most counterfit aftermarket parts. Even reputable dealers have gotten fake parts that fail and they only realize their fakes when they try to get warranty replacements.

 

Actually the UTEC has been a logging device for quite some time, but its actually no longer in the car. Turns out the UTEC's Ignition trigger signal is NOT like stock, its enough to properly trigger the stock coils (and the DLI2 as it only boosts the primary voltage) but it won't trigger many aftermarket ignition boxes used with COP setups (The AEM C2DI did work with it though).. But the Sparktech setup uses a well known ignition amplifier that isn't propery triggered by the UTEC. I'm now running an ECU+ for touch up tuning and logging. I couldn't possibly list all the modifications on my car in one quick post.

 

i wish i would have just left it stock until the warranty was out.

 

Wish I went with an exhaust which fit the JDM bumper.

 

BC Coilovers - should have went with a nice track setup.

 

yeah dont buy a heavily modded Evo unless it was done by Buschur or AMS or something. But as far as ACT clutches go, I have had 2 Evos both with the same ACT clutch and never had any problems

 

my only regret (sorta) was purchasing the Jun B.L. exhaust. Love the sound, and quality (great product) but doesnt fit the JDM rear! Like most, I really like the look of the JDM rear over the USDM.

 

My regret thus far is the UK chrome trunk badge. That thing was so flimsy that I had to be careful when I was washing my trunk as not to pull any of the edges of the letters down. I have since taken it off and gone with a more stealth look.

 

I only have one; buying an Evodave CF trunk. The fit was hardly perfect, and after I traded it, the new owner saw the CF yellowing. Mind you, the trunk was only 4 months old.

I did my research; so much for that. I have a strong feeling that most of the recommendations were posted by folks who've never actually seen one.

 

my biggest regret in life was getting into evos. this is my 4th evo and all it is a waste of money and money pit.....


i could of had a damn house almost paid off if it wasn't for these damn gay *** evos!

 

I regret getting the buschur magna flow muffler cuz it just looks ugly with my jdm bumper.

 

I regret getting the xede...total waste of money.
