i brought a facelift type-r grill for my pre-facelift LOL

Epic Fail

My worst has to be the Blueflame system....though it was "recommended"

Never liked the noise it made, nor size of the tailpipe. It just looked too big for the back of the car IMO..

My Spoon Street is fantastic in comparison (though the baffles are now going in the backbox()

All a case of personal taste i guess, but i made a right booboo there. Hated it from the moment i first started the car

 

[JDM 101]

Earth Belt & Skunk2 Cam seal.

 

[maupassant]

Short ram intake

Short Ram intake + Tropical country = really slow car during the day

 

[rvm]

[Tsuchinoko]

J's Racing tsuchinoko intake, good look under the bonnet, good sound but terrible performance...

Whats wrong with buying speakers. i just brought some replacements because i thought my speakers sounded like balls.
i only spent about 200-300 max and it sounds top notch with my mates tuning

Orange interior parts on my previous car:

On my current car (EG5) placing back the cat in the hope of reducing my exhaust sound...but I discovered my car was almost a second slower on 0-60 time.

Whats wrong with a good sound system in your car? I have set a challenge for myself: full blown sound quality system including 10" of 12" subwoofer and doors dampened and airtight for under 20kg I don't see what's wrong with a nice sound system to enjoy house music while cruising on the German autobahn with the sun shining on your car

I know, there's loads of people that use them with no trouble...but for some reason mine just didn't wan't to play.

I think the answer is 'What's wrong with the standard stuff? Goes plenty loud enough if you like loud music and the quality is fine...the speakers are Japanese engineering not 80's Ford's
