What do you wish you DIDN"T DO to your 240?
i thought i'd see what people were wishing they had not done, installed or wasted money on.

i wasted money on a manual boost controller and a greddy oil catch can that never got installed. not to mention that i don't even need the mbc cause i changed it out for an ebc, and i can't even find the catch can under all the junk in my garage. what a waste of money!

i think this thread should be left for modifications and purchases, not wishing you bought a Z or switching from S13 to S14...


but anyway, i'll add my thoughts

1) buying underdrive pulley for my car when it was SOHC KA. fuck unorthadox racing, cheap ass shit

2) installing polyurethane bushings in my LCAs... fuck polyurethane, cheap shit

3) reading posts on nico......... nevermind

Had my friend take it to a shop to get the oil changed ONE time because I had duty that day and he needed to borrow my car to go into town.

They broke the hood latch handle on the dash.
