KartRacerBoy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 My least favorite mod? My melted turbo housing melted by installer with a blow torch trying to get out a stripped stud? Or the $4,500 worth of front end damage when I rearended a nice ole truck when my attention drifted. And the winner is...the melted turbo (since it wasn't covered by insurance)!

Jedi Pimp Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Mine is the Perrin inlet hose. It was the biggest PITA ever to put in and being Perrin of course didn't fit correctly and it didn't do sh1t on the butt dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimy101 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Aside from Stage I and II, there are very few performance mods that make a discernable difference for less than a grand or two at a time. Going for 1 hp here and 5 there is just asking for silly problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srgdrum Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ^ How about a TDC turbo or meth? A little away from a grand and seems to add to the numbers quite a bit. Put 'em both together and you've really got something it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimy101 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ^Both mods individually would be the better part of a grand so they qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srgdrum Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ^ I was just making the point that there significant gains for under a grand beyond STGII. Not that I have either meth or an upgraded turbo. Hell you could get a protune instead of running a stock map and that would be a nice gain after STG II for way less than $1K... You could be getting into "silly problem area" here though. I'll stay with a conservative tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of worthwhile performance mods to be had for under $1K, i.e. sways, springs, tires, pads... ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers always stepped on my speakers and it made long trips less comfortable. It sounded great, but I would never do that again... I took a lot of satisfaction out of ripping those bastards out when I was demodding the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirSix Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 +1 again for the Typhoon....The woosh piish still makes me giggly, but I'm fairly certain it is the catalyst for the jitterbug my car does under acceleration from time to time. I tell myself that an N/A Forester is just an STI without all the fluff like, power, handling, style, racing heritage, and curb appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
