My old Spugen dual exhaust. Drone and rasp were horrible with a test pipe!
Also some ebay hood dampers. Complete crap. Raised the hood a little more than half the stock height lol.

Megan exhaust. I picked it up dirt cheap used just for fun though. Went back to my spoon single less than 24 hours later. That exhaust is pure bliss. Now on a Berk 3 inch and haven't looked back but the Spoon isn't getting sold.

Other crappy mod was a axial flow short shifter. OEM with a voodoo knob is the best combo I've ever tried.

I love my tein hood dampers
well hopefully I don't run into the same problems as I have a mishimoto radiator for the civic and s2000. So far I love everything they sell from thermostats, fan switches, radiators, and hoses. And a leaky overflow tank nipple has nothing to do with the radiator. Air in the system would cause it to build up and leak out, but that's pretty much it.

Wow good stuff... I regreted puting 18'' wheels on my first s2k, ate up mpg bad (no biggy) but also sucked up soo much tq from the little f20. 17'' is just right. I also regret puting tein H techs on my last s2k, although i loved them for their huge drop and comfy ride, i feel like i ruined the natural geometry of the oem susp, would def do coil overs next time. As for other cars the list is too long but a few would be no "generic" or ebay parts period... Weapon R intake on my Acura CL-S sounded like a 260hp Orek vacume cleaner. Some others would be doing a custom exhaust on my nissan sentra SER Spec V. Never heard anything so ricy in my life, eventually switched to a Nismo, way better.

Invidia exhaust. Sounded great when you stomped on it, but droned LOUD at all other times.

I'm happy it got destroyed when I was rear-ended in my old S, and got a "refund" for it to get something else.

I regret my shift knob, wont say which one. Also regret my AEM v2 intake. Had to cut that hole, and when I do brake ducting it will be in the way. The hole wasnt a big factor for me, but not being able to run brake ducting is huge.
