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 · 07-30-2009, 09:42 PM

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 · 07-30-2009, 11:29 PM

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

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

cxlo8331 · 07-31-2009, 12:13 PM

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* · 07-31-2009, 03:45 PM

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 · 07-31-2009, 05:18 PM

Getting lowering springs instead of coilovers.

steve shadows · 07-31-2009, 07:34 PM

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 · 07-31-2009, 08:20 PM

crashing it cause now my front end does not line up

jordanpelly · 07-31-2009, 08:30 PM

I came in here to post the same exact thing.

madd ocx · 08-02-2009, 09:58 PM

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 · 08-02-2009, 10:11 PM

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 · 08-02-2009, 11:28 PM

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 · 08-02-2009, 11:34 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 12:28 AM

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

ericcastro · 08-03-2009, 12:43 AM

buying a 5AT 350z.
So much fail, what was I thinking?

One of the main reasons for my MT s13 build

roplusbee · 08-03-2009, 07:27 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 08:03 PM

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

goldee240 · 05-14-2010, 02:26 AM
