So you are saying S197 needs blinkers so I won't break my nose when he turns? Lol

Butt kisser ain't me...

I regret adding the Steeda "G-Trac Suspension" stickers under my GT emblems and the previous owner adding Steeda stickers all over the car. What a friggin pain removing all of the stickers. Other than that my only complaint is the original owner adding Extreme Lowering Springs to the car and leaving the original shocks/struts on the car... rides like I welded the suspension together... of course I am not complaining when the wife is in the car as she is "bouncing" all over the place, but I ALWAYS have a soda with me and I can't drink in the car while driving without spilling on myself.

I regret dropping the car as much as I did. The underside and rocker panels and front bumper have been thru hell.

And having a moron shop install the Hurst instead of someone who actually knew WTF they were doing.

But of all the mods, my favorites are still the Borlas and the blower.

I regret buying the '07 6 months before I got the 5.0!

I lost a couple of grand on the trade in, but I chalked it up as a lesson learned.

I regret getting a dyno tune from a no named guy here in the Bay Area.

I regret running octane boost in the '05 when it was still N/A which caused my plugs to foul and subsequently I scheduled the aforementioned dyno tune assuming it was a tune issue!

Wicked, I likey the bouncy too!

 

[warbird]

I regret anything related to the Pypes company. I also regret my McLeod RXT and TR6060 combo... nothing but trouble for me since day 1.

My Mcleod RST in 2009 5 speed...A still ongoing nightmare.

Funny shit right here... LOL!...

^^^agreed. Would be alot more helpful than the typical asshat dbag that bitches at newer members to search in an ahole type of a way or directs them to mustangforums. That just pisses me off. If a newer member post a muffler question either help the member or stfu and move along to the next thread, no need in being a dbag

Just speaking the truth...

Sometimes I regret buying the car. I haven't had any issues with it either. I'm just never "done" and always thinking about what to do next. Big moneypit.

Men don't have "cheap" hobbies. It's cars or women, and cars are a lot cheaper.

On the regret side, I can't really say I have any regrets. I have a FRPP shifter which I love. I have Maximum Motorsports lower control arms which I love also as they give the rear of the car phenomenally good control compared to stock, but are a bit noisy so I see J&M control arms all around in my future. Spherical rod end all around are for the race track. I have spent a lot of time reading many different posts and many folks said to get a CAI and tune. Sounds good, but when it's all said and done I'm fairly sure I am going to want a blower so there is no point in going with any of the minor mods like underdrive pulleys or CAI. I will get the aluminum driveshaft as that is a good mod for any car and lighter wheels like Enkeis.

Wicked gt "of course I am not complaining when the wife is in the car as she is "bouncing" all over the place"


I say lets see the regret

 

[HAPPY HIPPO]

buying a mustang! never in my life did i ever want a mustang. But a guy I got injured with in iraq is a huge mustang nut and he talked me into it. atleast i got it through the military px for only 24,000. corvettes is my passion but they never did make a car seat attachment for the roof! so no place for my son

 

[Shaffe]

Lower Control arms. they were quality pieces but the bushings were terrible, that and good ole IL road salt in the winter was not kind to them. ate through the bushings in less then 2 years i believe(could be just over 2 hahaha) so the stock ones are back on

What LCA's?

 

[Shaffe]

Massive Speed Systems- local performance place. the actual LCAs were great, the bushings not so much haha

 

[xsmsxgtS197x]

Only thing I regret is not spending the extra cash to get the new 5.0 and settling for an 08 4.6 liter :/ but with us guys whatever we do we are never truly satisfied lol!!

 

[Kadorja]

I really dont have anything I regret up to this point.... well not asking the place who added my mods if they put my old parts in the trunk and of course they didnt. Not much but I could of at least had it in case I sold her.

 

[SoFlo Mustang]

I guess I am the exception to the rule, I read the sticky's.

Me too lol

 

[killr3v]

The only regret I have so far was buying a BBK CAI instead of a JLT or a CnL the first time around. I got the CnL used for the same amount I sold the BBK for so no biggie.

Don't get me wrong on cams, they sound bad ass, but u have to keep in mind the loss of drivability and gas mileage

At least the 2010+ guys can get the new cam "tune" from AM to make it sound like they have cams. Really cool mod. My opinion, too much work to install cams on a N/A car. Supercharger almost takes less time.
