Things you regret doing to your Z

I regret buying my F.I. exhaust cuz it didnt let me lower my car like i wanted. Had to sell it and lost $500 of my hard earned cash.

I regret curb rashing my right rear wheel.

My well-developed powers of rationalization and denial prevent me from regretting any money spent or modifications made.

I might say impulse purchases.

For example I bought the Evo-R front lip, but before even installing it decided I wanted the Stillen front bumper. So I had to sell my lip and my Injen CAI.

Im also debating buying the ART pipes and selling my ERZ HFCs.

To be honest, aside from the lip maybe Im happy with all my purchases and installations, its gotten me in tune with my car even if I do end up changing my setup less than a year later. Id rather buy and enjoy something than continually wait for a better product to come out.

These could of been avoided with an HKS Hi Power exhaust!

Not as much gains as the FI exhaust but a lot quieter in cabin (close to stock at cruising speeds) and you can have a very good drop. HKS exhaust screams when you're WOT though.

I have heard the HKS in person... It sounds awesome. If I still had my Z and wanted to change things up I would definitely consider it.
