Not paying enough attention to the rust thats on it. They're small, but still nonetheless, an issue.

And not spending enough money on it... hehe

Painting my car a different color than stock or close to shock. Red to Metallic Gunmetal gray with black/red flake combo. The paint turned out alright but everytime I opened a door or hood. . oem.

Installing the CA18det without rebuilding it first. Had to take it out a month later for a rebuild. But now it runs great! But yea, thats the only regret. Oh yea, and selling my first coupe.

letting a non performance shop install hood pins into my carbon fiber hood, the mounts are good but the pins were bended inwards which makes the hood pins not lock for S#@T,I will have to drill and extra set of holes.

No putting that ziptie back on the MAF wire after fixing a wiring issue. damn thing fell on the exhaust and burned thru creating an even bigger wiring mess.

Buying my s13 from an idiot for $1000. It was a great deal, but the guy before my totally killed this poor car. Spraying flat black instead of just fixing the clearcoat. Breaking my sunroof. Spending my money as it came in instead of saving and doing all my suspension at once. I still love my s13, I couldn't imagine getting rid of it.
