What mods or choices do you regret?

[Shelby Miles]

Where to start. Stick on spoilers, none satisfied me in quality and fitment. Decided if I’m going to do it, the Verus or Argo it will be.
Carbon overlays. Thank God for OEM+ mods, no overlay on my car. Bought a couple and trashed them when I discovered OEM +.

Mine are still on…?

Get the magnetic ones and fall in love again with paddle shifting.

Honestly- depends on the day.

Owning a highish HP car is a huge pain in the ass, especially trying to make it streetable. There are a ton of "weird" problems you deal with over 1000hp. Weird trans shit, weird tune shit, driving around with a parachute on it, maintenance expenses, etc. It's hard. These cars absolutely thrive around 700hp. They love it, and take it over and over.

On the other hand, I wish I would have skipped all of the pussyfooting around and just done it. I'm on my 3rd turbo upgrade, I danced through different Pure transmission stages, bought "street" wheels for a while to pretend like it wasn't a 1000hp car, lots of shit.

In either case, I wish I could have taken different paths- but that 1.2x 60' and 8.x quarter mile is pretty fucking fun.

That’s crazy!!! I just talked to a guy who was this millionaire car collector. He said he almost one of everything. I asked him if he could only have one car what would it be. Without any hesitation he said a Porsche. He said they were the most dependable and were just as his Italian cars.

European cars are like Pitbulls, they’re great until they’re not anymore…

The biggest choice I regret is not leaving the shit Supra FB groups yet.

The next is dealing with trash companies that cannot manage very basic communication or have drastically different pre and post payment ETAs.

As far as modifications go, no real regrets. I’m on my 3rd turbo kit, have 4 sets of wheels and tires and loads of spares in the garage, and I’m scared to look at my flash counter, but they all came with whatever I have been trying to do over the last 4 years, and I’ve had fun with each step.

That’s interesting that you said 700 HP is the sweet spot. That car collector said the same thing. His favorite cars to drive were between 600 and 700 HP.

I also bought those POS add-on paddles. Also in the garbage.

I bought these and with my custom steering wheel they look fine, why didn't you like them???

 

[Supra Jr.]

Mine are still on…?

I have them and think they are perfectly fine,??

To each their own. No judgment here.

The fit was terrible and the 3M sticky stuff moved and flexed when I pulled on them. Put new sticky stuff on and it didn’t help. Personally, I ended up not liking the add-on look, either. I’ll spend 10x as much and get clicky magnetic ones at some point ugh haha

Why spend 10x when the Triple Seven mag paddles are only $100?

Visconti flex fuel tune.

Felt like driving a more fuel hungry stock car.

It doesn’t smell much at all on these cars i don’t notice it much and even AA catted you still get similar smell.
$300 vs $1400 I just don’t see the point in hi flow cats unless you live in California… which at that point you’re already making poor life choices?

Living in a local that requires emissions, it's a necessity sadly.

RB brake disks. They may be lighter, but this happened on the track. Apparently, it is my fault for using too aggressive pads.
