Let's start a retrospective thread

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Do's:
Turbo
Megasquirt
Quaife/Peloquin
16V front brakes
Professionally ported head for the NA portion of my car's life.
2.0L conversion for both 8V and 16V
Euro bumpers
Powder coating!!
Two squirter windshield washers.

Don'ts:
Haltech (tuning nightmare, no import/export file capability)
Air to water IC (more fucking complication than I ever imagined)
Lowering springs without a shock designed for the lower height. That includes Konis. Hoping to find out about Bilsteins this weekend. Tired of the damn car living on the bumpstops!
Take on a project that's so big and all encompassing that your car is off the road for 2 years and then you just loose interest in the whole thing!

Hmm, the do-agains:

diesel swap
1.9 swap - no replacement for displacement
?berVerteilerpumpe - because a diesel doesn't have to rev like a diesel
Corrado leathers
euro lights, no matter what the platform
buying a Mk1


the never do-agains in a million years:

green A3 golfs (never, never, never again!)
letting the 200 TQA slip through my fingers (not once, but twice!)
Westmoreland built anything...
