i was thinking about this last night as I fixed the cold start fast idle system that the previous owner had removed from my rx-7... are there any mods you did that you wish you had just left stock? Bad sounding exhaust, ugly wheels, ebay turbo, etc? Any hackjob installs you did that make you cringe? I know I've got a couple... 1/8/2008 8:17:48 AM |

I regret that I spent $250 on a head unit and only $150 on the speakers.
I could've spent less on a head unit, more on the speakers, and had something that wouldn't look theft-worthy that sounds fucking amazing.
Oh well, it sounds pretty damn good as is, and I've got a neat toy of a head unit to play with in traffic... That is, WHILE in traffic in my car (not play in traffic as in "go play in traffic, dumbass"). 1/9/2008 4:05:36 AM |
