Mods you regret?
Using a turbo timer to cool the turbos is a waist of money because it's soo much better to cool the car down by cruising around a mile or 2 under light loads before shutting down the engine. This way you are still getting air flow to the radiator and oil coolers. However; a turbo timer can be used to engage the fans to cool down the engine and accessories after shutdown. This is way more usefull.

Also, another mod I regret is the Pettit Racing's resonated center section (midpipe), which replaced my other midpipe. The noise level didn't change at all and was a waste of money.

This forum has to be one of the largest collections of rotary and rx-7 knowledge I've yet to find.... but has anyone noticed that every now and then you find a post *coughtensecond1320cough* that seems to suck a good 30 minutes of research out of your skull and leave you feeling like someone just stepped on your favorite dog? .... or is it just me? lol
Btw mod I regret the most on ANY car... no exhaust past downpipe, y-pipe, h-pipe, x-pipe or whatever other piping you would like to get the fumes out of the engine bay. Nothing seems to wake up every rattle your car will ever have quicker than exhaust beating the underside of the car.

I regret my M2 Coil over conversion springs(550/450). Had to get them to stop my tries from rubbing against my wheel well liners. The ride is too harsh over SF city streets for daily driving. I miss my cushy Eibach Pro kits.
I'm not sure about my Midpipe, I just installed it. The extra power is nice, but the smell sucks-***.
