My heavy rim/tire combo. And if i had only focused on performance and handling my car would be so much faster right now.

 

All the neon lights i took out
clear bumper lights because one is broken (ok nevermind)
Intrax springs and no adj struts and shocks
tring to paint some interior trim
some stupid decal my cousin made me buy
avid t4 not avid h4 or v4 (well something better)
3rd gen wheels (sitting in the garage)
erebuni spoiler (sitting in the garage)
bose interface kit for a sony (in car while bose was being fixed 1 week)
all kinds of paints and undercoating
blah blah blah

 

What mods am I satisfied with? Pretty much everything that's on my car right now. I've grown to realize that I don't want any mods on my car that compromise driveability (ie annoying sounds, harsh ride, vibration, anything that reduces power when it's suppose to make power). Current mods I'm happy with ranked by most favorite:

1) WSP Stage I/II SFCs
2) JWT ECU
3) MEVI
4) ASA LS5 17s (17lbs) with 235/45 Sumitomo HTR+
5) H&Rs
6) Leatherseats.com kit (black/charcoal)
7) WSP y-pipe
8) Motivational rear strut mounts
9) Koni front struts (far better riding than my rear AGXs which will shortly be swapped out for Koni)
10) Hacked stock airbox
11) UDP

There are a lot of other tweaks I've done, but there are my favorites.

Ohh yea the dreaded APC wing I bought. Thank god I sold that thing...

 

Don't have any regrets on any mods yet, but I used the org as a resource for most of them. The only thing I went out on a limb with was the NX kit because no one had one 18 months ago and it turned out to be the best mod yet.

 

VB MOD. dont get me wrong, it is a great mod. but i have only had my car a year and a half, and now i am selling it. i bought the vb for endurance of the tranny, but since i am gettting rid of it now, it wasnt really worth the money.

i guess at the age of 18 i am just looking for something else in a car, something with more... enthusiasm.

but i am happy with most other mods, my favorite is the budget y-pipe. for what it did for me car, for only $160 shipped, you CANT go wrong.

 

guess you learn from your lessons, if your being cheap, you'll end up spending more money in the long run

 

How wide are your rims and do you have an Unorthodox UDP?




This is the gospel anyone modding their car should live by. The only exception is wack azz Stillen parts.

 

practically most rim designs are knockoffs from japanese wheels anyways.

unless your gonna spend the dough on some volks.

 

All the different bulbs I have sitting in a box in my L/R trying to match the lights just right. Realizing that it ain't gonna happen!

 

My wheels are 17X7. I'm probably going to get 215/50s HTR+s next time because the 235s are bit noisy and the lightweight 4th gen really can't make that much use out of such a wide tire.

My UDP is the Unorthodox's.

I just wanted to know cause others have probs with the RVM UDP and your tires seemed wide enough for 17x8s and 17lbs is pretty damn good for 17x7s let alone 8s.

 

test pipe, $100 momo shifter which the leather peeled off after about 8 months 2 dozen sets of super white h3 fog light bulbs that either burned something or blew in a month.......and regret not buying a magnetic bra to save my paint from chipping away everytime im on the highway.
