What's your worst mod?

[DOLBY]

tbh as soon as i fitted it willie, i was getting all kinds of problems with the battery, then the car was running shite...then when the car was ok it felt slow (torque wise) which wa proven on the RR so in the end i got rid.....

Worst mod?
Prob was the OMP "Fast Road/Track" front pads.
Totall shite, no good when cold, hot, new or old!

I used to have a 1998 Impreza Turbo and the worst mod I made was, surprisingly, a stainless full exhaust system!

Yes, it sounded fantastic but the car just didn't feel as strong in the low and midrange anymore (i.e. daily driving).

Got it dyno'd and it had gained about 5bhp but lost the same in torque, also it had moved the power and torque curves up the range and upset the atf ratio.

Was told that it could do with a remap to properly sort it, but at over £600 for the '98 models I never managed to get it done.

Learned a good lesson from this - spend your money wisely and choose your mods very carefully.

is anybody old enough to have had one of them red car model name stickers in the back window???
I remember them but I wasn't old enough to drive then...






... or i would have had one

The best ones are the huge "Kenwood" or "Sony" stickers, which I always found hilarious.

... helped the tea leaves know which cars to break into I guess.

smoked rear lights for myself on the toledo... think it gives the car to much of a boy racer look, especially the level that i have smoked them

yeah and the tea leaves then found out it was the standard AM/MW cassette player with "high power" 15 watts per channel dual cone speakers in the front doors held in with 2 screws each

My White dials of e-bay, was so chuffed until I went out the first night with them:-

Needless to say they were removed the next day
