Guest Terry S Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 i thaught that hks stuff was suposed to good , obviously not Lots of their bits are excellent, and a few items are crap. It's sifting the chaff from the wheat I am afraid and the only way to do that is experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Not regretted any mod. Always been very careful and only chosen easily reversible things. I regret whoever modded my VVTi before I got it and I'm slowly converting it back to standard. So far:- removed SARD filter for OEM Airbox removed shopping list on the doors replaced crappy exhaust with nice RS*R one sideskirts to go for OEM (when I get around to it!)

Nick Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Yours was the early F-Con V Nick not the V Pro wasnt it? Yes, the FCON V I think. Bought it in 1999/2000. Like Terry says, not all HKS stuff is rubbish. The HKS Hiper exhaust sounds fantastic, and the 60mm electronic dials are superb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprachargedtt Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Respraying a custom colour. Pain the arse I have to agree aswell, i dont regret it though it is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Fitting RLTC and then leaving it on 20% just before hitting a slippy patch on the exit of a roundabout. RIP one mint black Supra. Got another couple now though! (And both have RLTC which stays at 5% or 'Wet'!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Regrettable mods: 1. Buying, painting, fitting a TRD copy spoiler 2. Buying, fitting a double deck APR spoiler I'm on my third rear spoiler now. Very expensive way of finding out what spoiler looks best in your mind!

Aerotop Dave Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Fitting RLTC... Again, not a regret as such, but I spent £400+ on this and I don't think it's ever cut in once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Not a major regret but painting the active spoiler the same colour as the car. Looks the nuts but every time it hits a speed bump (motor broken so tends to stay down rather than retracting back under the front lip), with it being flexible, loads of the paint brakes off and i have to re-sand and re-paint it. Its currently sat in my shed waiting another re-paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Fitting RLTC and then leaving it on 20% just before hitting a slippy patch on the exit of a roundabout. RIP one mint black Supra. Got another couple now though! (And both have RLTC which stays at 5% or 'Wet'!) Yay that chap. I leave mine permanently on the top setting. Makes for some amusing pulling out of junctions in bad rain as mine pops a bit under fuel cut. Only time I ever switched it all the way off was at an airfield ragfest day in the dry. As an overly enthusiastic driver I cannot reccomend RLTC too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Again, not a regret as such, but I spent £400+ on this and I don't think it's ever cut in once. Think you did a journalist job there and left out the rest of my sentence. What I regretted was leaving it turned to 20% as it wasn't then able to catch the car when I hit diesel. RLTC is MORE than worth its' money. But you have to make sure you have it set correctly when you are on the public road. i.e. 5% max at this time of the year!
