Modification Regrets?
... Ingalls torque dampener. Not for me. It made my whole chassis shake and vibrate. I took my car back to basically stock to find it was that. It definitely helps to keep the engine stable, but for anything under 400whp, I think it's a waste. I'm just glad I have an evo that feels smooth again
While this may be a general post, the one thing I learned with this car and my old WRX is to try to stick with the same brand on parts. While one part may fit with its counterpart, another brand may not. You live and learn. If I had a dollar for every time I changed a part because of that, I'd be a rich man!
mods that i regretted:
hks evc v ebc -> now i have hallman pro mbc
ksports kontrol pro coilovers (i sold my bilsteins for this *kicks myself in the ****)-> now i have ix gsr struts with swift spec-r springs
buschur racing high flow cat -> now have buschur racing test pipe ready to be installed
getting oem clutch/flywheel as 2nd clutch -> now have act xtss/fidanza flywheel as 3rd clutch =(
and dynoflash... i paid $400 for a full custom tune and the method they did was... mail-in reflash then dyno.
im going with stm for my next tune!
and i probably regret getting an MR... i think i should have went with a gsr. lol
i wasted my damn money!

the only regret that i have is the shop i chose to do my clutch install really... they overprice the clutch install .. but it was the only one within reach.. until i did more research after i got the car.. and found many performace shops all around me .. who would have done it cheaper... Buschur !! i love my clutch .. southbend clutch.. its like a excedy clutches... but cheaper ..

Mine was 10 year/ 100,000.......They knew I wasn't staying stock when I launched it during test drive
