Are there any interior mods you guys regret? Maybe getting that shiny carbon fiber? Maybe a shift knob?

I know I don't like my Greddy shift knob. It feels good and all, but it scratches easily and burns the F*** out of your hand in the summer.

ACT XX lock me out anything over 4000 rpm in 4th & 5th, it drove fine the first 3k after that it been like ****. Garbage at it's best. Let me say that I never lunch the car ones, no slip, adjusted it for over 5 month, took the pill out& put in the SS line.

This isn't about clutch quality/install issues but for those of you that are having shifting issues, have you looked into an adjustable clutch master cylinder? Maybe you're not getting enough pressure/travel at higher rpms? Sorry if this is the same as adjusting the pedal, but just thought I'd mention it.

well, if its an install issue, then a hell of a lot of tuning shops don't know, how they have to install the clutch...
I did it.. no more from me.

My biggest mistake is I went with a HKS Carbon-ti and turbo-xs downpipe. I wish I would have gone with the Buschur Bullet TBE. Could have saved myself some money and would have been much happier.
that's bs. i have an Exedy, and an engine damper... STILL GET LOCKED OUT. i shoulda stayed with a stock clutch

For me it would probably be the Injen upper and lower intercooler pipe kit. Not so much the upper, but the lower is not much better than stock.....I wish I could of gone with the Buschur piece, but hey I was fairly new to the evo scene when I bought it.
