Very pleased with my AEM water injection system. Pettit fan switch works well but was difficult to install and seems to drain my battery real fast.

.
Did you change the power steering rack also or did you just remove the pump? I'm thinking on doing this but would like to do the rack also.


BEST MOD
wing deletion

WORST MOD
BOV on Greddy elbow-makes it hard to work around that area.

The rack was done properly by me, all seal removed and quill welded. Reason for me not to like my manual rack is because i live in New York City. It is very hard to manage with all the stop and go traffic.

Worst Mod:
F*#@^%G NR White faced gauges. One word: FUBAR

Best Mod: Street ported motor from KDR. This thing has served me well.

Best mod; Ohlins coilovers....power is nuffink without control [/cliche]

Worst; HKS "Silent Hi-Power" exhaust where "Silent" is evidently Japanese for "indescribably f***ing loud" and "Hi-Power" is evidently Japanese for "utterly knackers the power curve with flat spots and boost spikes everywhere". Ahhh, those crazy fun-loving Japs and their Engrish, eh?

Best mod: PFC. And "JDM ashtray/armrest" X 2.

Worst mod: GAB Super R coilovers (w/eibachs). Great for autoX but way too harsh for the street.

BEST MOD: 99 front bumper with 99 tails and converted my tan interior to a REAL black interior with JDM rear seat.

Made the car look 1000000x better.


WORST MOD: Wrong size tires for my wheels.

lol really thats the only thing i can think of what was the worst money spent on my car. My car isnt "all out" so there is nothing i regret putting on. Everything i put i put there because i liked it. And if at one point i didnt like something, i replaced it with something i did like and sold the old part i didnt like lol
