God, I must be bored, but I bet this makes for interesting reading.

Everyone always concentrates on the best mods but what is the crappiest piece of poo you've ever been stupid enough to buy?

Rich

 

I never got any noticeable performance increase from my subaru air freshner, but it looked good.

 

A tax disc. Provides me with no discernable benefit over others that don't bother.

Traded a MY99PPP in against a 22B. Cost me £20k for some wide arches, 55 BHP and 40 lbft. Shesh!
Chuck

HKS Super AFR summat or other - bought it and its never left my bedroom

Box full of valeting kit
HKS Super AFR
Link ECU
3 port solenoid (on bedside table)
Half a sumpguard
..and unlike recently a Hayward and Scott backbox

Mel goes ape but its my room, not hers

 

ps Mikey - f@*K off Everyone knows nothing looks sweet on your heap

 

EcoTek thingy! Got it in a group buy (about 2-2.5 years ago) and it has sat in 3 different garages!!!

I've just sold it on ebay for more than I paid for it!!

 

universal three gauge pod holder.

Flat bottom so was completely useless in the scooby.

Paid £25 just sold for £5 on ebay. Oh well you live and learn....

 

Poly bushes for the astra. Done the easy ones, the diffucult ones are still in the original packaging in the garage
astraboy.

 

Bought an entire set of suspension Bushes for an E36 M3 - paid about £350 for them a year ago - and they are still sat in my Shed!

 

I'm sure poly bushes are not the WORST mod you can have on your car!!!

They are the worse mod for lazy people (such as myself)!!!

 

Did anything actually make it onto your motors Andy ??

 

I bought an impreza scoop.........for a vauxhall astra............and i fitted it!!

 

Probably the worst mod for me was "carbon fibre effect film"

Put it on all my vents and wotnot inside the car.

Looked really cool when first applied but I should have clicked when the instructions said to "heat with a hairdryer to aloow it to strctch to the desired shape" and I was putting it aroung my HOT AIR VENTS.

Guess what happened?

As soon as I put my blowers on it all bubbled off and looked shat.

 

Momo gear ****, looks pants now.

 

Steve,

They did on the silver car. The blue one, well you bought bits that I *TOOK* off and replaced with 'better' items!!

But sadly although they most of the bits made it on to the car, they didn't stay for long!!

 

Bleed Valve as I blew my engine up with it trying to run 22psi

 

100w "Ice Blue" headlight bulbs, looked sh1te and everyone thought I was on high beam.
Took them out the next night and reverted to Vision Plus.

 

Forge VTA dump valve! £130 to sound like I'm sneezing every 100 yards! Baws!

 

HKS AFR regulator.

Paid £100 for it and its never been out of the box.

Anyone want to make me an offer

 

What is it?Any pics?

 

I bought those tacky chrome led washer jets

Ended up giving them to a mate with a cavalier who said he wouldnt be seen dead with them on his car

 

Hi-Spec two piece brake conversion [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Clear side indicators - contrary to popular belief - THEY DO NOT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE!

 

Some spax lowering springs on a cav gsi i had once, they buggered both c.v joints and made the car handle like a maxi. Before i put them on, it handled like an ellegro
Thought id get that last bit in before someone else did

 

luckily didn't buy it,but had a bomex metal wing put on my scooby by revs car mag for a feature a couple of years ago.really don't do this to your car.after the guy had fitted it and they were taking photos of it i stood back and thought 'that looks really sh*t'.didn't look anything like the pics on the web i had seen,might have looked ok on a silver scoob but it just looked crap on my red one.
still,sold it a month later and it paid for a V5 spoiler.silver cloud and all that!
