mods you regret doing

[Umbra_Lupis]

I regretted putting dumps on my car. Sooooo freaking annoying in car, loud droning and rattle creating poop. They're gone.

Eq. length shorties. F that. What a pain, those are gone too.

*not a regret: my March brand U/D pullies have been good to me, sure at night with the headlights on, and ac going and subs or some combo, you can see the volts drop a bit and the lights dim a bit... but ive never had any actual problems with it not charging... and i have a stock replacement alt. and a sears brand battery.

Dyno or track tested? What HP or E.T gain? Cold vs hot? If it works you should patent and sell it cuz anything else right now is total crapola.

My cousin and I both gained 1 tenth and 1 mph in our 94-95's by swithcing from the stock inlet tubing to a homemade CAI that consisted of a straight piece of PVC tubing connecting the MAF to the TB. We both trimmed our inner fenders to allow the K&N to sit as far as possible into the inner fender.

Mac chrome tail pipes.

My march U/D pullies did pull down my charge at idle. However, I now have a 160amp alt, and they don't pull it down. It charges great.

I regret having my AODE rebuilt where I did the first time. They took all my money, and did a terrible rebuild.

The only mod I kinda regret it going with a 4-point bar instead of a 6-point bar. I chose the 4-point so I can get my son in the backseat easier but I really wish I had the added protection of a 6-point bar.

What kind of driving do you do? If our verts flip over, is it not safe? :OT: I know. Thanks.

I just look around at the big trucks and wish for that extra door protection... At the time it was only like an extra $70 or so...

I regret getting a girlfriend... My race car fund is slowly diminishing

I regret putting on the t-rex in line fuel pump after putting in a HP 255 in the tank. It's caused me headaches and it isn't necessary. However it is easily remedied.

I regret paying darn near $1,000 for a tune. I didn't know any better when the guy told me he had to take off the TB to adjust the TPS voltage I also think my car should be getting better than 15 mpg and idle lower than 1,000. My next tune will be somewhere else.

I maybe regret getting the TKO, but only because I think I should have saved up a little longer and went with the viper spec T-56... the TKO runs fantastic and I love it otherwise.

I regret:

buying a black on black leather car
all suspension work (springs, upper/lower control arms)- too rough
poly sway bar/end link bushings- keep snapping end links!!
3.73s for a daily driver- ive drag raced twice
offroad H pipe- loud is cool, until you cant hear while on the cell phone
k&n FIPK- waste of money

dont regret
MGW shifter
cobra headlights
JBA catback

I posted earlier in the thread, but now that it's brought up again . . . I never should have taken the car down for my 347 project. I should have saved alittle more and bought a used block to have built. Now I have a sweet 347 short block in one corner of the garage and a sweet 95 mustang in the other corner, both of which useless without the other! Two year of using my Bronco as a DD which was only supposed to be a backup really blows.

I agree... great way to do it. I did this. I sold my old block, stock heads, cam, etc. It went a long ways on the new engine's machined block, 331 crank and rods I bought for $500.

+100 and after I adding all the the money Ive spent to support my 347 build I should have built a 427 stroker might have only been a little more....

so far w/ my current Mustang I have been much more careful as far as parts selection as from learning from previous mishaps w/ other Mustangs. So far all Ive added to it was different exhaust and up graded the rear end. I have thing planned this spring but hopefully I dont find myself here posting about it

I wish I wouldnt have put that flux capacitor in. Dont get me wrong its fun and all, but Im making some enemies stealing nuclear warheads.

Dont you just hate it when that happens. Worse thing is my kaluuluu valve is sticking so my alternater isnt putting out enough jiga watts so when my muffler bearing starts gaining speed I get stuck in the damn 1800's.... No roads what so ever can you believe that CHIT!!!
