Mods you regret?
I might regret buying an FD 9 months ago, more than doubling the price in mods when I could have waited and gotten a Lotus Elise. I will have to see one and drive one in person before I can say that for sure. I realy like my FD but that car has me second guesing just a little bit. Oh, I also took a spin around the track in a stock Z06, very impressive, just not sure I could live with the styling and how I see them everywhere.

I am not sure If i WILL regret the mods that I am doing.
The roll cage is tough but I can deal with it.
The twinturbo setup is yet to be tested (twin t04 turbos)
I love my solid engine mounts, i love my 6puck clutch, and I love my torque brace. My car didnt rattle at all, I think everybody else is crazy!
The one thing i DO regret is just not leaving it at the t04s single. I would have gotten to drive my car on a very streetable level and have fun with it. It's been down for so long ebcause of the twinturbo project and i miss driving it!

-Apexi N1 D exhaust
-trying to use a GM electric airpump with the stock cat (Nothing like the smell of $100+ being incinerated in less than 10 minutes . . . twice).
-Not switching to a single turbo sooner
-10ohm resistors with low impedance injectors
-Miata battery

I regret buying my car in the first place... I've wasted soooooo much money on it.
The sad thing is I love it every second I'm in it...and it just makes me want to spend more money on it!

When I get to the point I want to do more (notice I said WHEN not IF... which is why the regret is starting to kick in!), I can now spend more money than I had when I just got the M2!
Thank God, I haven't done a mod that I regret (yet) hehe. Read threads like this that saved me before I dropped the mulah 
EDIT: Not true...I regret going w/ 10s in the rear when they now have 10.5s...
