no regerts!

 

Near stock, no regrets!

 

I had exedy twin disc. Only lasted 10K. Spke to exedy rep - they are designed for racing and launching, not daily driver. So twin disc is not necessarily better.

 

Installing the Voltex side skirts. Have to drive the car up on a board to fit a scissor jack under, then jack it up enough to get a floor jack in there. No Nascar speed tire changes now.

Oh did I mention what happens when the car rolls off the scales when setting it up?
You betcha! Crushed the fronts of both side skirts...

 

I've done some minor cosmetic exterior like Rally Armor mud flaps and Vortex generator. The only engine mod is an ECU flash at a place called TurboTrix in NJ, but I don't think they are around anymore. But I've never had a problem and I get 24 MPG on the highway. I'm a big beliver in KISS and can't go wrong.

 

Comp clutch twin disc. Chatter is terrible.

 

90% of the people I know, personally, have all gone back to single disks. None of them really needed a twin, anyway. If you drive it on the street, twins are horrible.

In regards to an early post I made here: I pulled off my brand new FP Green that died...
I put the stock IX turbo back on and am enjoying the car more than I have in years. The car is so damned responsive and quick, it makes me giggle like a school girl. Yeah.. it will be working kinda hard at the track, but I do Time Attack and only need two laps max out of the thing...
I should have sold off the Green long ago. I'd be out a lot less money too.

 

I have a Comp Clutch sprung stage 4 clutch in my evo. I didn't think it was really that much more stiff than stock. I think it's a very daily friendly clutch especially considering it's a 6 puck, plus it handles back to back to back launches on radials without complaint. It's worlds lighter than the Clutch Masters 850 twin disk I had in another car.

 

one mod I definitely regret is going with my mini battery instead of just relocating
it to the back

 

No mods, minus a good snow tires. Fastest car on the road when it's snowing.

 

Solid Rear diff mustache bushings. Will be converting to polyurethane shortly. The extra noise is an unnecessary addition to my life.

 

 

HKS Intake that was not carb legal. stupid CA Smog Laws. Had to take it out and buy a CARB Legal one.

 

No regrets to the mods I've made, but I do regret jumping in and modifying the car right away.
I should have spent some time learning to drive the car before modifying it. I spent a long time where the car outperformed me as a driver and I think it really hurt my progress in learning how to really drive the car competitively.

 

I regret getting the whiteline tierod ends the boots didn't get torn but they failed in less than 10k on a street car also happened to a bunch of people at the shop as well.
