I regret putting the HKS 7460R on my car. It was overpriced, added little performance over the original turbo and just didn't agree with my Cosworth M3's. I'm sure a big part of it was the combination of parts I had at the time. I had it professionally rebuilt and sold it on here. Last I heard the new owner was happy with it.

Fp red

Over priced
Real waste of $$$
Glad I switched up and got the 6262, smh
Had the fp red on stock block 93 and car struggled to make 405 at wheels smh, shop promised me at least 450 wheel, got it tuned,did a roll race with a Evo 8 with Evo 9 turbo and I barely won,I was to do another roll on with a tuned Evo 9 mr on stock snail but hks272, but after taking a test drive of that mr I would not hav stood a chance smh, I was so pissed after getting all the supportive mods for the fp red to shine, when It did not I sold the entire set up and went with a 6262 set up and I could not hav been much happier, and I'm not even on E85 yet

Worst Mod

I put in a Carbonetics lsd in the rear. Bad idea. It wore out after 800 miles.

Not buying an evo sooner, but buying an evo with jic coilovers. Those will have to go soon. If you ever wanted to know what riding a bucking bronco is like, let me take you around the block.
