    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.

    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. :notnice:

    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. :D

    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 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 :notnice: 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. :D

    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
