Lots of wasted time/money

Which ones did you try and which one did you end up landing on?

9:1 compression pistons. Let me rewind 2.5 years and change the HTML dropdown box to say somewhere between 11:1 or 12:1 forged.

Too many exhausts. Wheel color. Living next to my neighbor.

Bergen23 · 05-14-2015, 08:28 PM

Well, on my third exhaust at this point, second set of wheels, second set of coil overs, been through a header, winjet headlights and buddy club tails.

Just a lot of pissed away money... On the bight side, a lot of people have gotten great deals buying shit off me for way less than market value.

For some strange reason I've been regretting swapping to Toyota badges.

raven1231 · 05-14-2015, 08:47 PM

Hmmm... I'd have to say going full catless with the MANZO v2 lol was way too loud. Now it sounds much better.

Vincenttam · 05-14-2015, 08:53 PM

Probably my j2 quad exhaust, sounds amazing but i spent 110 at the shop to get it fitted. My next ones going to be an ark, saving up that!!!

Tried this one:

Tried this one but can't find vendor page any more:

Finally decided on this one that I think is perfect and has an official toyota part number (it's perfect to me although you have to open to use drink holders):

It was ok. A nice height but just sits on top so doesn't epreally seem part of the car. The material used doesn't quite "match" the car either.

My mate I gave it to loves it though.

MarcFr-s · 05-15-2015, 04:29 PM

I haven't regretted anything, but my gf regrets the 18" wheels (lower profile tire) and the coilovers... the ride is a little harsher... but the car handles great in the twistys and autocross!! AND it looks a lot better with the wheels and no wheel gap!

TRACE_on · 05-26-2015, 10:25 AM

Having the dealer install the stock FR-S spoiler. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had got the TRD spoiler.

WhiteFRS69 · 05-26-2015, 10:29 AM

i totally regret NOT going with a Clear bra when i got the car, the dealer even offered it to me and would have been rolled into my payments

i didnt purchase most of it, but my place of business does car audio and they wanted to "Sponsor" me

gave me a head unit, alpine Type R speakers and a Type R 10" sub in the trunk, amps etc etc, but i didnt really have to pay for anything, but what i regret is actually getting it installed, our installer at the time was on his way out and he just didnt give a shit, my car was in the shop 4 different times over the next few months, static in the speakers, subs kept blowing out, what a mess

Muaddib · 05-26-2015, 04:51 PM
