I thought it would be interesting to hear what, if anything, you regret doing (or not doing) to your SC. The thought process behind this question is that I am considering boosting my 60k mile 5spd SC and I can't decide if I'm going to regret it or not.

 

Wasting money on coilovers when i could have got air... air is sooo much cooler

 

...

 

i regret not having the time & money to put into my SC like i originally planned. Also, not driving it as much. My car has a lot of problems though.. I think I will always own an SC however from now on.

 

I regret not starting off with a 99

 

I regret buying used coils from a member. And buying rotas I know now is bout being pacient and not being cheap learned that from camber sc.

 

I regret buying my sc from a dealer, i financed the car, even though i had the money to buy the car out right i wanted to build credit...and now making these monthly payments suck!!!

If i wasnt making payments my car would be alot nicer then what it is now..ohhh and i would be either 1j or 2jzgte now..

 

i regret buying an auto. But this regret will soon be diminished. (hopefully)

 

Buying a proformance centered car, when I got the car it was making well over 450whp, but had half an interior with a gutted trunk (you could put like 4 bodies in an SC's trunk when it's gutted, I'm amazed at how damn big it is), no heat or ac, power steering that doesn't always work and bad wheels and tires. The car just doesn't drive like a lexus should, it drives like a muscle car, which isn't always good when your trying to DD it.

 

I regret getting that stupid JDM moonroof visor (With the single center flap on it) for my SC, Now whenever I remove it to wash the car, there are stupid scratch abrasions marks left behind on the roof by it.

I also, regret getting one of my gauge needles replaced at some hole in the wall shop...That guy screwed up part of the vinyl on my dash.

I also regret not being patient enough and just going ahead and buying a used OEM SC400 lip (Own by 2 other folks before me) that was beat to death off of a fellow CL member. but because of it, I now have a much better condition OEM lip (complete with mounting brackets) that I scored off of e-bay for a decent price.

And lastly, I regret getting Tanabe NF210 lowering springs and not saving my money to get coilovers or air ride suspension.

 

regret buying a body kit that I didnt wanna use after all lol and now I cant even sell them lol..... I should have went 97+ from the beginning, but at least now I have all the parts ; )........ oh and buying replacing a fender with oem, now I want vertex or origing fenders lol..... its like the saying goes: patience is a virtue!.... I have had to learn this the hard way!

 

I'm still deciding on which to get. UAS is so expensive. On top of that, I'd still have to buy my own coilover to adapt the UAS kit. If not, maybe i'll go with K-Sport pro.

 

I regret doing the clear tail mod to my '95 tails.

It could have been done much more cleanly, but I rushed and they look like ****. I'd redo them again, but I ended up breaking the little inlet piece for the key hole and I'd be best off just buying a lens now. And nobody sells lenses, so I'd be best off having to buy a whole new light.

 

I regret.... getting the vertex front cause it's so damn low and I already cracked it.. AC bumper here i come

 

I regret not jumping on a mint blk/blk '97 spd that was up for sale in San Fran a few months back. The day I decided to buy it the guy said he sold it earlier that day
