what do you regret doing most to your car?

Using stock shocks, cheap lowering springs, and having one of the mounts come off of the strut while I was driving. Should of just bought the Teins.
 
Getting a n/t (will be for sale soon, gonna gets me another 4g63 or a 6g72 next, turbo of course :p )

With the Laser, nothing at all... This has been the perfect "beater car"... Well there was this one time at the track that my clutch was going out and I decided to take it down the track one more time. I do regret that since it would have made it all the way home instead of completely giving out on me 1 mile from my house...
 
1) letting friend race and launch hard :cry: (knock knock, luckily under warrenty) :thumb:
2) buying 17's when i wanted 18" Axis Se7ens, now one of my best friends has them...DOH!!!! :mad:
3) not taking advantage of 16 yo panty droppers in love w/ 2g's :
4) not getting a honda ;) ......j/k
5) the color black alone is a love/hate relationship... all black car owners/former black car owners know this all too well.
 
I regret lowering my car and getting 18's without having done an allignment and a camber kit. I have yet to do either and my pretty new tires are already wearing really bad on the inside. I also hate how my back wheels butterfly because of it, looks so so bad. :cry:
 
i regret not saving up money. Now im paying her off and have no money to mod her :( . I always regret buying her, at this point i could have my old 1.8 and a nice quad to ride the trails and ride with friends. But when i am driving her, and she gives me some boost, or even though shes a 1G whenever i see a nice car (WRX, EVO, SRT-4, etc etc.) and i am staring at there car as i drive down the road thinking (wow thats pretty) they are ALWAYS staring back :cool: . then im like "its all worth it"
 
there is a part 2 to my post

since i HAD to ahve a built motor (i was a dumbass) it took me a year and a half to get all the necessary parts on my car instead of just taking the car to the shop and having them drop a new motor in right away

i regret that more tehn anything
 
Sometimes I regret modding my GS...the kit..etc etc....I used to love shows...now I never hear about them anymore...realize how much money I wasted..how much time I wasted. It still impresses everyone here....but then I got into boost and everything with my TSI and now GSX...and I cant help but look at my GS and feel disgusted with its lack of perfection and have this feeling of 'thats rice' in the back of my mind.

I love it to much to let it go though...my ideal car would be a 99 GSX wtih the 6 bolt.
 
really getting down on it whilst I forgot the A/C was on .... snapped the belt and left a reverse dent(a peak on top of the hood.)

I don't regret getting the N/t but I am looking for a gsx already :shhh:
 
Being careless about where I parked it.. People dont know how to open doors I guess? Also spending to much money on a stupid girl that's probly going to lead to nothing. :thumbdown :talon: :dsm:

Ripping all the mods off my car.

I've been meaning to ask you about that, cause I remember back in the day.....

What I regret the most I hate to say is not buying A GSX. I also regret putting 780s in the car.
 
My biggest regret would have to be selling my del sol VTEC and buying the Eclipse. I traded reliability for speed. For the money I have spent in my Eclipse, I could have turbocharged the old B16A twice over. :barf:
 
got MBC turned boost up to 18 with 20 spike on stocker T25 OMG needless to say car is sitting waiting for an upgrade :p
