In terms of regrets, the only one that I would say is that when I originally did my build three years ago that I should of went COP and ditched the Distributor. I'm going to have it done within the month though so it's all good!

I LOVE MY SC!!!

like most ppl here said, patience is a virtue.

i bought a knock off vertex kit. i mean the fitment is okay. but i had to ziptie the front bumper and parts of the side so it wouldnt crack (fiberglass). i am tho doing it right and getting a real vertex kit.

I regret not buying one sooner. Before my SC I had an '96 Acura TL 3.2 and was taking home $800 a week right out of high school. I didn't want to mod the Acura and I was too stupid to save so I blew it on stupid stuff. Since then I've totaled out the TL, bought an SC and started college so now I'm broke as hell. If I had bought an SC instead of the TL it would be one bamf by now. I'll be done with school in May though so hopefully I'll be stepping up my mod game

I regret not buying the 1997 anniversary blk/blk N/A 5spd MKIV early this year for $10k...

EDIT:

Regret not mounting the intercooler higher up so the intercooler pipes clear the shields

I regret selling my sentra DD 2yrs ago. best beater ever. Now that my SC is down, I'm resorting to renting a car. It has ghost issues now that I can't seem to figure out. So frustrated I'm just about to get rid of it as it sits.
