I spread myself too thin. I have too many projects. when I have money I don’t have time, when I have time I don’t have money. projects: With a lifted wrangler, turbo 1g dsm and more dirt bikes than I can store (6). I would be better off with 1 car. but I switch between the two because one is always down for mods. regrets: With the Jeep when I lifted it. I should have payed more attention to my drive shaft angle and with my car I piss blood because I went too stiff on the lowering springs and the Agx shocks just don’t adjust enough. On my dads 77 automatic corvette he regrets the 4:10 gears he put in on basicly a stock engine, so now it rides a too high rpm for highway driving conclusion: I will never be happy with a stock car, I will always mod. With every car I have owned- I said I would leave it stock an have a nice reliable car - never once did that happen. I’m lucky I guess because I never have enough money to buy what I want right away , so after waiting for about a year for funding I have time for researching the mods that I make. I basicly pick where I want my project to end up and follow others mods who are in that range, all the while doing the majority of the work myself and I never actullay had a car long enough to finish. So I always have that next mod in mind. If I ran out of mods and finished a car, I would be board and sell it. ---

I am currently paying for that with living in the city. So tax season coilovers it is. I really wish I would have spent money on a real exhaust instead of this downpipe with cutout. I have a feeling after I put the stock one back on for inspection im going to sell it and get 1st try to put one together for me. Other then that i dont have shit for mods on my car. I wish i just had some extra money to spend on it. > > I regret ever even trying to mod a honda when i was younger. All the ones I ever picked up rusted out or I wrecked them. I agree with u about the springs. I did that at first on my old avenger and i paid for it bigtime. The 2nd time around though i did it so that i wouldnt have any regrets [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/are-you-happy-with-your-car-project/187154.md?page=3)
