What do you wish you DIDN"T DO to your 240?

[grudge]

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! :bash:

[murda-c]

i had a bunch of cores to return that my mom threw away...


i once painted my corner lights amber, which was dumb

[T chop]

I removed my heater core.

[shmiddy]

i think i went threw like 4 e bay manifolds..... i kinda wish i didnt make my sr top mount.....

[BoostedCoupe]

wow! i can think of alot of shit. 1. got a convertable thinking i would track it wrong, now i want a coupe again, got 18" wheels and my cheap ass dosent like the tire prices.

[singlecamslam]

i wish i didnt leave my car in the sun and crack my dashboard.

[upsdude]

i regret buying my car altogether...cuz now i wanna learn how to drift hehehe :P

[drift_limo]

i wish i didnt buy a 240 .. total waste of money :cj:

[zenki.life]

not just buying a 350z or g35. instead i went the 240 route.

[SXY S14]

i bought neon underglow cuz i wanted to be different. apparently underglow is the definition of ricer. lol. whatever, it looked cool while it lasted

[g-via]

[adam s]

Stripping my interior, and not buying a Mint dark red vert with 80K miles.

[krazyfil]

making that u turn that night when going to eat and not turning to the left instead of the right when this stupid bitch jumped out in front of me and instead of hitting her brakes like most people do when they mess up which i thought she would hence why i swerved right... the stupid whore sped up and try to fly pass me instead smashing into my baby :(

[bik]

Changing the front of my hatch for a S14 Y_Y

[Otto347]

Nothing yet lol

[Bushido]

I wish i didn't cut out the section of the wheel well liner that stops crap from getting in behind the fender behind the front wheel.

[ixfxi]

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

[kandyflip445]

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.

[stevenbrolin]

not building a KA instead of buying the sr...

[kuruptR]

pulling my fenders

[kuelee]

putting on k-sport..shoulda went with regular kybs and chezzy springs

[blackrms13]

rattle canned my front bumper...

and maybe buying the full aero...which has been sitting in the garage for years...

[palmdale_mob]

Sometimes I wish I didnt get the silvia front and paint, but then other days I love it

[jspecusa]

spending $20,000 total on a s13 back in 1999
spending $35,000 total on a s14 back in 2002
spending $20,000 total on a d1 s14 back in 2004.
what I got back in return was alot of fun, meet some good friends,
and learn alot about the s chasis.
would i do it again?
yes, but under $20k this time.
why?
I'm still a 240 enthusiast.

[Wake]

If you asked me 2 days ago I wouldve said power folding mirrors but now that I fixed the switch Im stoked on their uselessness

oh btw you can swap the internals from USDM to JDM for the mirror switches.

[bardabe]

selling it, i know barry is going to rub it in again lol

[slidewaysmn]

Doing my own wiring...finally after 2 years. Oh and swapping and buying a sr when you are 16.

[Nezahualcoyotl]

spending $150 on new RUCA's, while I had a perfectly good pair. Needed a lil bit of welding though.

Spending $2200 on a SR swap, then getting refed a year later. really stupid.

[CrimsonRockett]

WASTING money on cheap parts, then having to replace them with quality parts.

Learned the hard way, but hey, at least I learned.

There's a lot of idiots on here that never learn.

Do it right, or do it twice.

[Kaiyoken]

Regretted ever selling my rx7 and buying a honda instead. Atleast i sold that and got a 240

[VQMaxFan]

welding the diff

[w0nderbr3ad]

Getting megan coilovers.

[johnksoy]

kinda regret buying a 240 cause im broke as shit and would rather have something more comfortable and economical right now. Then Regret buying kts coilovers, kts tie rods, cause I only been to the track twice in 2 years. Regret hawk brake pads cause its my daily driver and found out duralast pads are lifetime warranty. I regret getting my liscence altogether. I would of saved so much just buming off rides. Thinking of all the gas and maintenance spent the last 2 years when I didnt really need a car, Priceless. BTW im 18 so yeah didnt really NEED a car past 2 years. But hey, Im lagging it but gonna get my welded diff installed soon. I got some cheap tires and just gonna burn my patheticness away. wow what a testimony.

[Ares240SX]

I regret not having a job currently. I want to turbo the damn KA24DE so bad it isn't funny. I have some of the parts and I can't do anything with em...

[dsc4130]

parking my old two tone behind my driveway in the path of my dads f250, totalled :(

[waynehead05]

Solid motor mounts. Way too much rattle.

[CursedGTR]

I regret not sticking to my plan to finish my car on time and going off on little tangents that turned the whole project from a couple month ordeal to a couple years. Oh Well.

I regret, not learning a little bit more about body and paint work before I tore the car apart and got to work (did it over and over and over and over and well you get the picture)

I regret buying a bunch of crazy NAMS suspension pieces and not spending that money on back halfing it when I had the chance.

[josephin510]

Buying Rota rims they cracked and a CHUNK caved in i nearly lost my life on the freeway.DONT BUY ROTA ANYTHING HATS STICKERS RIMS NOOOO

[FaLKoN240]

First car: Crashing it...3 times. Rushing it out of a body shop and rolling around with primered fenders forever. Pulling the rear fenders WAYYYY too much.

Second car: Parking it on a corner... :( RIP.

Third car: Buying someone else's decommissioned curse, and making it my own.

[The Chad]

WASTING money on cheap parts, then having to replace them with quality parts.

Learned the hard way, but hey, at least I learned.

There's a lot of idiots on here that never learn.

Do it right, or do it twice.

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

-I baught a set of Ebay "pillow ball" RUCA's....later felt clunking and a loose rear end. Upon further inspection and removal the arm fell to pieces in my hands....switched to quality rubber mounts in a fancy set of arms.

-I baught an INJEN intake back in 99', just to fit in, for $350 (with the "cold air extention").....By far the WORST investment I have ever made.

-I decided to street race on the I95 and blew a tire doing 105mph....RIP Red 240 (2001) :(

Live and learn...:coolugh:

[turbo_dreams]

Taking my interior out.

[gsracer]

putting overfenders on

[Enna]

Buy an SAFC-II to help deal with a chipped S14 WC ecu. Ecu is fried, and I haven't even driven the car.

Should've just built my KA, or picked up a blacktop.

[KasperSlide]

the paint an body on my first 92. shoulda saved the money. but hey i was younger an more dumb back then

[lewisfk]

i didnt swith my oil pump out when i bought my front clip, and i dint know that the oil light was a pressure light not an i'm low on oil light! ya dunmbass of the year!

[98koukile]

Buy a 98 in an OBDII emissions state... sure it's a kouki but I could have a 95 turbo swapped monster instead. function>form

[hottscennessey]

3" summit E-cutout

[Okinawandrifter87]

Selling my first coupe...64,xxx original miles, mint original paint job and interior and exterior. Bought for 900$. UGH

[enkei2k]

buy such a blinging set of rims for all to see. gold rims + black car = lots of attention.

[drift freaq]

Putting money and effort into my RBS13. When I could have been moving forward on the project I really wanted to do.

[Team DET]

doing a 5speed convertion on my old soch and week later getting a rodknock then bought a Doch and said fuck it i'll do a redtop instead.... wasted some much money cuz i had no plan and i was young lol

[240cracker]

putting a body kit on and daily driving it...
also running sr with 3" buddyclub spec 2 on the street...
buying 17's instead of 18's
spending money on expensive steering wheels ext when i needed other more important stuff

this list can go forever

[aoiken3]

buying a shell w/ cut springs.......

[!Zar!]

Sell it. Or any of them as a matter of fact.

I need one back.

[jspeedm]

i bought tein super streets thinking they would be all i needed for my street car. i wish i would have spent the extra $200 and gotten the type flex( ride hight seperate from preload).

[undesiredshoe]

I wish i never drove my sohc without a turbo.

[aznpoopy]

buying silkroad coilovers on advice of the internet. don't do this. internet advice sucks. local advice is way more relevant.

case in point, 3 of us locals have silkroads and all 3 developed shaft play in the front two shocks. me, after 8000 miles or so. i like wasting money.

[BustedS13]

i hit a street sign and then spent a summer learning to do bodywork and had it painted orange. then i racked up like a billion tickets.

either that or buying it. if i never owned the 240 i think i'd probably care a lot less about cars and a lot more about things worth caring about.

[VIPDRFT]

Wish I hadn't slid in a parking lot with my lights off so as not to draw attention. Hit curb, bent tie rod and damaged lower control arm, didn't fix or align properly which led to another worse crash. Car never felt the same again.... Oh well! I've a better car now :)

[slow40sx]

wish i didn't buy aero catch hood pins, ruined my hood for some shitty ass hood pins that are gay anyway

[yeti303]

i wish i never bought subs for my car...just ended up gutting it and taking them out and selling them anyways

[KOUKIboy]

I regret the most buying alot of ish and ending up broke:( a $700 stereo system, Z32 brake upgrade that is sitting in my garage, useless aero, an ebay GT wing WTF?? a kouki cluster that I will never use, and a overlay carbon fiber cluster:ghey:

[David B S12]

man i shouldnt have bought a 240... oh wait. i didnt. i bought something older

[atutt]

I shouldn't have bought this particular S14. Period. Oh well I'm stuck with it now...

[BustedS13]

man i shouldnt have bought a 240... oh wait. i didnt. i bought something older

I wish I had learned to actually drift before I dove headfirst into track driving, drifting on a banked oval track w/ a concrete wall...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/threeyearitch/DSC01417.jpg

I definitely should have practiced around in a parking lot in 1st gear first, but everyone was all "TAKE IT TO THE TRACK! KEEP IT OFF THE STREETS! Blah blah blah..." Instead of first learning figure eights, I went straight to doing 3rd gear pulls all the way around the bank haha.

Such a waste... Car was M.I.N.T. *sigh*...

Definetly not the smartest Idea....

[kornaz]

I wish i didn't even start with a 240.

[artdrifter]

Spending 3k on stupid sound system that made the car way too heavy. SHIT

[OBEEWON]

I wish I never let anyone touch it aside from myself.

90% of my problems come from other people.

[flip3d]

Wish I didn't sell my Celica GT-S to buy it.

6-speed GT-Ss are so hard to come by now.

[Homer_Simpson]

I wish I didn't go with the SR.

[RPS13-604]

buying a 240 should have just bought a brand new car to begin with

[Zachsta]

I wish I didn't sell my Z32 to buy it.

[cobras89]

i wish i wasn't so addicted to boost...but who isn't??

[duffman1278]

I wish I didn't take out heating.

[Witness]

wish i would of bought a 73 camaro instead, i own a 97 and just recently picked up a 90 pignose two days ago which i regret!!

[s14unimog]

I wish I didn't pull my fenders as much... Also wish I didn't scrap that light pole...I still think the color doesn't match right.

I still love my car and don't regret getting into 240's

[swayray]

wish i didn't take the a/c out of my perfectly running sr.

[J40sx]

getting aftermarket spring and shock set up, then to coilovers
when i could of just waited and moved from stock to coilovers
and saved money!

[Okinawandrifter87]

I wish I never sold my $900 98 5 speed Kouki. Sigh...

[turtle m3th]

selling my first 240. It started a pretty vicious cycle which i'm trying to stop right now. I haven't had a single car for longer than 4 months until now. I'm on 240 number 7 right now.

[xru5tyx]

i regret not finding out how to get ecu codes when i still had $600 in the bank, then actually thinking to do it when i have no money to fix the car anyways

[xru5tyx]

i also kinda wish i just kept and fixed up that 280zx i never registered

[J-Style]

I regret that I sold my "Hi-Power" exhaust when I noticed that my header, mid-pipe, cat and exhaust were all welded together. I should've just added a flange and had fun with it.

I definitely regret buying an Ebay short-shifter, super fail.

[conrad_s13.5]

y all the hate on sr's? i love mine.

not to many regrets here,.. anything ive done wrong, i learned from, and i think that makes it worth it.
-buckin' up and payin' for quality shit
-when NOT to kick the clutch
-thinking "fuck it, its just another ticket"
-making my daily a track car also
-going 5 lug,...lol
-getting a s13, shoulda got a s14

but i love my car!,..and nothing is undo-able,.. whether its repair or replacement
:D

[fromxtor]

I wish I would have taken my project on slowly instead of tearing the whole thing apart, now its all apart and giving me a headache.

[s13dan]

The sr swap.. I should got me some nice wheels and suspension and left it. Im tired of everyone asking how fast it is and how many pounds of boost its running. I love my SR but i would have rather have had other things now. But now those will come in time.

[ZEN14]

wiping armor all on my dash... had a very clean dash b4 now i have a few major cracks

[Mangudai]

i regret buying my car altogether...


Right here. Should have waited longer, lesson learned.

[Dirty Habit]

I wish I had not sold my old coupe. Now Im scrambling to get another with as little rust and damage that one had.

boo.

[cxlo8331]

wish i didn't buy, build then sell the hatch. i miss that car.
wish i wouldn't have bought the black car. cuz once i sell it, i'll miss it too!

oh well, i'm addicted.

[ManoNegra]

Not many regrets now, but in the past...
- spending the equivalent of a new car payment every month
- Blitz clutch - baller but way too much money for a clutch
- making the daily the car project
- deciding to re-wire one of my hatches, car still is on jack stands

[Viet-Tam]

Getting lowering springs instead of coilovers.

[steve shadows]

Carbon FIber rear hatch, I just didnt do a clean job of installing it, then after I did install it the car had no traction...probaly the 500 whp that had something to do with it :(

[RED ST]

crashing it cause now my front end does not line up :( and its different

[jordanpelly]

i regret....

blowing the the head gasket on the original ka, paying way too much for an sr, letting my friend drive it because he threw a rod, swapping back to ka then blowing that head gasket in the same day.


and now im going to swap in yet another ka then sell it. ill probably regret that too

[s13skank]

I regret selling my 1st 2 s13's i had :naw:

[DirtyOldMan]

Buying a silvia frontend
then selling it
then buying another one
then trading it
then buying ANOTHER one
then crashing it...
sighh..

[KingKong8247]

wiping armor all on my dash... had a very clean dash b4 now i have a few major cracks

I came in here to post the same exact thing.

[madd ocx]

i regret buying all the n/a mods instead of saving the money and using it for turbo and/or suspension. but at the time i wasn't sure what powerplant i was going with. oh well you live and you learn.

[Persona]

Using armor all, Fuck that noise, Meguiars and F21 is where its at.

Luckily i saved my dash but it could have been bad, armor all needs to go bankrupt.


Dont regret anything else, i love my car.

[Jeezy240]

i regret
-sliding on the street, hitting a bolder and bending my frame.
-letting someone say they are gonna sponsor me for fabrication, trying to get a cage. it taking 4 months. and then it wasnt even legal. had to cut it out. it sucked.

thats about it tho.

[VYKTR]

i regret taking the rear quarter glass of and destroying the trim because it seems you cant get it by itself. oh well now i gotta buy all new glass OEM. but the good thing is that getting them off let me paint the car to show quality. other than that love my car:-)

[gmember240]

i regret attempting to use a sidemount. POS !! spend the money and buy a FMIC.

TURBO KA-T coming this wednesday woot!

[ericcastro]

I have no regrets :)
I have done everything the way it is cause its all my budget can afford.


Maybe those auto meter gauges though.
Fucking american thread size.
I never think to order the metric adapters when i have the $

[JRas]

well my car won't pass emissions

regrets.. probably buying a header for my KA.. it was stupid

suspension shit.. harsh yes but fucking badasssss

[vestigeka24]

buying a 5AT G35 coupe, and now getting a 5MT S14...haven't drove a manual/stick car in like a year so pretty much have to re-learn how to drive stick -___-"

buying a 5AT G35 coupe, and now getting a 5MT S14...haven't drove a manual/stick car in like a year so pretty much have to re-learn how to drive stick -___-"
buying a 5AT 350z.
So much fail, what was I thinking?

One of the main reasons for my MT s13 build

[roplusbee]

Putting so much time and effort into resurrecting a poorly maintained '90 Euro S13 Fastback and wrecking it 5 days before I was supposed to strip it to pack up the parts and such in my household goods.

I learned so much from working on it though. Got an '89 waiting on me though ;)

[mattro]

i wish i had bought a running 240, left the interiour in it and had a running dd instead of trading my ser for a non running 24d

[driftingmustang]

buying it, lol

[goldee240]

i wish i didnt cut all the stock amp wires. T_T

[lame_s13]

1st s13-
thinking it was a good deal and trusting that the motor was rebuilt and in good shape

2nd s13-
selling it

s14-
Getting 1/4 panel damage
Spending 1300 on a five speed swap
still not painting it or removing the bubbled rear tint

[510-SR20DET]

i abandoned my car for 6 months then it wouldn't start.

[Jakob]

almost anything i did. but i cant go back right?

[mcloud]

Removing the a/c... it's freakin hot down here.

Solid motor and tranny mounts... never again.

Cheap ass RUCA's... when they break it's no fun. Live and learn.

Selling one finished car to start another project. . . seriously.

[PHAS3D]

Buying an s13 with no a/c or powersteering. :(

[S-Nation S13]

buying s13 period..damn things a money pit !!!

[xBlastoisex]

buying a mint s14 kouki, drifting it. and wishing i had a s13 coupe

[Iron_Zenki]

buying a s14 with minor frame damage then hitting it on that same side and getting some shady shop to pull the frame looks like everything is good but the passanger wheel sits back just a little :[

[TurboSE]

I regret not sticking to my plan to finish my car on time and going off on little tangents that turned the whole project from a couple month ordeal to a couple years. Oh Well...

My $10k 6 month RB26 swap is on it's 4th year in my garage, and is almost double my original budget because of tangents.

Doing my own wiring...finally after 2 years....

Definitely not as easy as it sounds.

I wish I would have taken my project on slowly instead of tearing the whole thing apart, now its all apart and giving me a headache.

That's how I ended up with a shell on jackstands.

I have no regrets :)
I have done everything the way it is cause its all my budget can afford.

Maybe those auto meter gauges though.
Fucking american thread size.
I never think to order the metric adapters when i have the $

I know this feeling all too well...

Even with these regrets, I wouldn't trade in for anything...it's been a great experience.

[erik05v]

selling my first s13 to my cousin!!!!! worst thing ever i miss that car

[hostyS 14]

Damn sounds like most of you make stupid choices/mistakes..

Only thing I regret is selling my 95 s14. Fucking miss it.

[killer240]

car is been sittin for a year now doin nothing

from plannin to go SR ended up RB20 i know i know but hoping to go 25 later or maybe 26

this is what happens when you go plan B to C and then your lost

i was temped, okay!

[sirfallsalot243]

Wish I didnt buy a Silver Moss kouki and held out for a black one.

[widebodyseven]

Kouki conv. on my S14 bc in the end i couldn't afford the kouki hood now i drive around looking stupid with a zenki hood on my kouki front.LoL

[dtfdanyo]

^^LOL

don't regret anything yet, I'm just starting my build though *crosses fingers*

[SilviaSR20DET]

wish i didnt go with a t25 turbo setup on my KA. Should have stuck with a big turbo top manifold...Blew two t25s and not sure why. Waste of money and now im back to where i started stock and slow =( but more reiable =)

http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m447/babyjesus-album/0425000717.jpg?t=1273869233

Did you run in under an 18-wheeler or something?

[stinky_180]

I'm pretty satisfied with my car in its current state. The only thing I "KINDA" regret doing is completely removing the interior. From the front seats to the back. I drive the car once a week to work and it just doesn't seem practical. Then again, it is the 'track' car... daily driving is for my s14.

[thestreetzking]

I bought my car with a CA18DET and it had bad wiring problems, I swapped for an sr. If I could do it all over again I would have bought a wiring harness and power fc and saved about 2k$.. And I wouldnt have bought stupid little shit and instead had baller wheels and coils.

[JDM Sil4ty]

^^ .. damn .. i understeer too when street drifting.. but i finish it off by doing a donut ..

i regret selling my megan coils and buying apexi's cause these do not go as low .. but it is more comfy though ..

[Maiku240sxS14]

Fucking up my rear QP....=(

going sr and not going ka-t like i wanted. Also no painting my car when i had the spare money

[Psycho 240 Freak]

Constantly pouring money into my car instead of buying a bike. A M109R to be exact.

[Spring Break '92]

Spending the time and money to locate used injectors/Maf along with other parts to turn the boost up safely when I should have spent the money on a mechanical LSD. Spending about $1000 on Koni yellow/RSR race springs when I could almost have bought coilovers. Or even just bought Ground Control sleeves vs. the RSR springs. Still rides awesome though.

[Spring Break '92]

Fucking up my rear QP....=(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/nihon_jin/Drift%20Photo/willow_may_1460.jpg
That happened to me, only my friend was the one driving the car while I was at work and got into an unavoidable interstate accident. He had to take the outside shoulder or eat another car in front of him.

[DataXUnknown]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/nihon_jin/Drift%20Photo/willow_may_1460.jpg

I remember watching that. Your car is so clean and so powerful. Yet, from that damage it builds character! :)

Thing I did to my 240 that I wish I didn't do, tow it to a "friends" house to do an engine swap in what he said was "2 weeks" that turned in to "4 months" and included "stolen parts". Gotta love socal.

[hostyS 14]

car is been sittin for a year now doin nothing

nothing wrong with rb20 at all... tomei poooooncams, gt2530 and some ECU and your laughing with 350whp...

[landins13]

i regret paying JE import performance 8 grand to do my sr swap since it blew the trans out in the first week i had it back and then the motor spun a bearing 31 days after i got it back so therefor it was outside of the 30 day no knock garuntee

[terrence]

Hooking up battery wrong, now car starts but nothing electrical works.

check you 75A alternator fuse, alternator could be fried too though.

[babyjesus]

Did you run in under an 18-wheeler or something?


no, i was in GMR, backside down hill, i guess that turns notorious for cars understeering, regardless, understeer/ weight transfered forward and sent me into the mountain, flipped the car, not ONE scratch on me, definetly lucky, things coulda been way worse

[Envy2343]

taking my clutch fan out and overheating not much of a power gain any how lol

[Dazzla]

Everything on my car. I wish I had left it stock and not blew thousands on making a car that attracts too much attention :(

I should stop being a pussy lol

[s15specR]

start building it!

[TwItCh]

spray bombing it and selling my meshes

[drift213]

i wish i didnt let go my 180sx and my coupe :((

[essforteen]

Lower it!!!

LOL JK

[Emeraldo-Fan]

crashed it...

[Ceepo]

I regret nothing, I love my car, only thing i regret is rear ending a mustang doing 5 mph and bending my hood and breakin my grill and putting a crease in my bumper :(

[MandTPhotography]

DDing a track car.

Stripped Interior. (Both S13's..)

No AC. (Both S13's..)

[jdm2191]

Wished i could of put a OEM Nissan throw out bearing, Instead of the one Exedy Gives you...because the Exedy one is loud!!

[ultimateforce]

Selling my running BMW to fund the S13 that still doesn't run.

[cxlo8331]

selling my hatch.

[racecar11]

I wish i would have just bought a good quality bolt-on exhaust instead of waist my money on multiple shitty custom exhausts..

[Slammed Assassin]

Wished i could of put a OEM Nissan throw out bearing, Instead of the one Exedy Gives you...because the Exedy one is loud!!

i wish i never went silva front, and rolled my rear fenders

[illvialuver]

Everything on my car. I wish I had left it stock and not blew thousands on making a car that attracts too much attention :(

I should stop being a pussy lol

Im sorry but am I the only one who thinks that this statement is funny coming from someone with a name like dazzla, esp the part when he is calling himself a pussy.

I dont regret anything about my car, I love it, and it is only going to get better, but what I do regret is selling things I had, like the bride zeta three with sliders, and the se lip when I had a kit, cause now that I am stock aero I want my lip. lol

[jspec240]

Lol hopefully he was being sarcastic... I wish I would have kept my HUD

[slow40sx]

never should have gotten those stupid ass aero catch hood pins :mad:

[TheXFlames]

Have my gf drive my s14 home as i bought it... and crash it... =( x2

[jackal264]

never should have gotten those stupid ass aero catch hood pins :mad:

aero catch pins are great. i've never heard of anyone having proplems with them.

i regret going with a tomei reytec ecu. would much prefer to be on an aem or haltech atm.

[jspec240]

Have my gf drive my s14 home as i bought it... and crash it... =( x2


Damn that one topped the charts!!! lol right after I asked her if she was OK I would say see you later..

[iHeartTheTouge]

I wish I never built an S13. I'd much rather have spent that $15k on my Z. I found stock S13's a lot more fun than built.

[Kwonza Says]

I wished I didn't buy 50mm wide fenders and decided to mold with bondo...Looked alright but cracked over time looked nasty and didnt have funds to find wheels to fit that big of fenders..Now I learned and bought 30mm and just worked with rivets. Looks a lot better IMO.

[BoostSlideWayz]

S15 conversion ( ._.)

[frsh4]

tried to rock a chuki bumper instead of the piggy front..FOUR broken bolts..over THREE hours wasted..TWO scratched fenders..ONE depressed/dissapointed/mad driver..
wtff!

[zx6r1852]

having give my 240 for my girl... poor baby hasnt been washed in weeks...

[moneybags]

Fucking up my rear QP....=(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/nihon_jin/Drift%20Photo/willow_may_1460.jpg

I remember this so vividly. A part of me died when I saw your QP

[udon!]

i regret not being patient and waiting for a s13 worth buying.

but hey i made money on each one i bought and sold at least...

[that1guywithans13]

making trunk holes on my wingless trunk for a cf wing then sold the wing a couple days later...twice

[upsdude]

in retrospect i should've just kept the money i spent and threw it towards a nice g coupe.

[shiftdrift]

put a cage in my hatch. because i found a vert i'm going to buy and swap everything over from the hatch :( and the cage is all welded in.

[The Hamsterball]

- Selling my s13 in 2004 for $2500 to some 19 year old, who then sold it to some 15 year old without a license who drove it around any way.

- Buying a pacesetter exhaust just because it looked like the OEM unit that i broke in half.

- Buying kazama tie rod ends, which wore out in less than 6 months, which were then replaced with s14 oem outers with tein inners.

- Stripping my cyl. 1 spark plug thread, rigging the to-be-replaced old spark plug back in somehow, instead of helacoiling it.

- Using a torque wrench that I forgot I dropped in the past to tighten a front subframe to chassis bolt.. causing an overtightened bolt.

- Not getting front camber bolts for stock suspension and still grip racing anyway, which caused the outside shoulders on the front tires to wear out quicker than the rest of the tire tread.

- Accidently overtightening one rear S14 VLSD diff cover nut (not the cover to pumpkin nut, but the cover stud nut that goes through the subframe).

- Buying 4 sets of tires to grip race with instead of buying less tires and spending the saved money on coilovers, and grip racing less often.
(woulda saved gas money and maintenance costs).

- Listening to a friend who said to use locktite on the engine block coolant drain plug after flushing my cooling system and installing a new thermostat and radiator.

- Not getting off my ass and jb welding a microscopic hole on the bottom of my radiator that leaked 2-3 drops of coolant a day and got air into the cooling system, forcing me to bleed the air out every week from the radiator cap.

- using some random assed dual electric fans from the junkyard wired with thick gauge wiring to a switch in on the center console instead of keeping the stock clutch fan..
my dad wired it, did a good job. but it ended up killing one battery and one alternator in the long run.

- Stripping ALL the interior behind the front seats.

- Buying a SOHC hatch for $1600 that caused major headaches for 3 years.. instead of waiting 2 weeks longer for some other seller to finish preparing his car for smog for me.
$2000 for a clean assed near-problem-less black DOHC hatch.

That's all I can think of for now.

I'm an idiot :hide:

[95se]

I wish people would stop making them look like JUNK.. It is the most ragged out car on the road. People are putting gaudy and cheap stuff on them and not bothering to repair whats wrong with them before they do other stuff. For example, I see this red one around that the entire front of the car is a different color and has this silvia front end on it and they haven't even bothered to paint it. Seriously, come on. Why spend that money when you can't event paint it. Its been like that for a year now. I see this on no other car. Why??? Its embarrasing to be a 240 owner now a days. You tell someone you have a 240 and it you need to bring it in and what do you get? You get this attitude that it belongs in a junk yard. Or some chick asks you what car you drive and you tell them then they just kind of smirk and have this look on their face that you drive some getto piece of junk. People put thousands of dollars in the engine compartment but put the round jack and a box thing on the top of their antennas. Its ridiculous... Sorry about the rant but I just had to get it off my chest.

[jiggs]

i wish i didn't but my vert for the price i bought it for, but hey we live and we learn.

[theog]

i wish i didn't buy the hatch that I didn't have now and bought any of the other types of s-chassis :wtc:

[S13 curtis]

Removing the A/C and PS in hot ass florida and not to mention i had a welded diff.

[xBtony]

[keistyle]

[creyes13491]

cutting the brown wire to make my sleepy eyes...

[92s13Widebody]

first thing i wish i wouldnt have done was drift my first hatch on the street then run from the cops and then was pretty much forced to sell it

[Dan0myte]

I wish I didn't buy a Talon and spend all my money trying to fix it and make it run right. I could have had a fantastic 240 with all of the money wasted on that DSM piece of crap.

[krayzbigmac]

Get rid of my pearl white hood for a cf hood. Now I grew out of the cf hood and now I cant color match my hood to the same pearl white.

[Marsinosllc]

spending 6k to get 1k back.

[screaming6]

i actually dont regret anything...sometimes i get cheaper tires instead of spending a little more and getting the size i want..

how come so many of you regret rolling your fenders?

..i dont see a downside unless you screw up and crack paint or something....i love my rolled fenders.

[lflkajfj12123]

spending 6k to get 1k back.

qft　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

[s13doc]

using a cheap eprom instead of going with a stand alone like aem or fkon

[XxCAPTAINxX]

[佩恩_]

[udon!]

spending a shit ton on the best 5 speed swap parts I could find for sale online

[yvang07]

cutting the brown wire to make my sleepy eyes...

Solder possibly?

For me, I suppose tinting my rear window. Defroster is broken and I should've repaired it first. Now I have no working defroster and it looks even more like ass. :wtf:

[snowmansent2hel]

Buying Rotas
Cutting EGR in half

[Psycho 240 Freak]

People put thousands of dollars in the engine compartment but put the round jack and a box thing on the top of their antennas. Its ridiculous

haha That's describes me exactly, but my car's really clean looking. The Jack in the Box thing is nostalgic for me.

I just wish I wasn't so addicted to 240's. I could have a Ferrari and still wouldn't be happy if I didn't have a 240 sitting next to it. I've bought a few useless items for my current 240 here and there ie; eibach springs, ebay intake, ebay floormats, ebay steering wheel, but they've all been replaced with quality items since.

[SteezyWonder]

oh ya u totally ran haha.. and that wasnt drifting PUSS

[SteezyWonder]

first thing i wish i wouldnt have done was drift my first hatch on the street then run from the cops and then was pretty much forced to sell it

haha u didnt run and that wasnt drifting PUSS

[joeapple8]

1. buying used (blown) coilovers from an importer, tires rubbed up against my harness, exposed bare wires, shorted in the rain, fried my ecu, left me stranded in the hood and in the rain with my girlfriend. BRILLIANT!!!!

2. modifying my automatic ka (intake, header, exhaust, pulleys) Got to pay to play, it ran15.9's, lol. Complete waste, I ended up swaping in an sr.
