mine is lightly modded, TBE, BC, FP, drop in filter and dyno tune.
The only regret I have is not doing it all sooner. I drove it stock for 2 years before I did anything. But on the other hand the stock time I had allowed me to really research everything I wanted to do and make educated purchases and decisions.

I regret selling my Evo 8 and had never put my EVC 5, JUN Camshafts, Ohlins Coilovers and the list goes on...in the car and ended up just selling the thing and the parts and now I'm doing it all over again with the Evo X. This time I'm only going lightly modded though, after all I ain't no millionaire and I don't need to be throwing my money away.

I regreted buying that cheap rexpeed engine damper that was made in china. It was the worst product I have purchased to date. Second was my ACT that locked me over 7000 rpm. Third was having put in the 272 cams due to the idle jumping around..but then I put in a HF Cat and the cams purr like a kitten now. That was interesting, I guess they like the back pressure? Fourth was the WG dump that was just getting annoying. Best thing I did was put my HF Cat back on a get it retuned.

Regrets:
I regret my Weapon R catch can.
I regret having a gold vendor install my headstuds 1X1 only to have my head gasket leak.
I regret my revolver cams, but only when I'm idling at a stop light next to a cop

Well...I have no regrets at all.
In fact I will give advice on "what to do" so you avoid all regret.
I bought my car new off the show room floor and only added a tb exhaust, boost controller, walboro pump, cams, and a tune in the first three years.
Man I wanted to go crazy with the car
but I bit the bullet and every extra dollar I had I paid into the note on the car. Car was paid off in three years flat.
Well, I had been paying about $800 a month on the note (to get it done as fast as possible) so when I owned it...man there seemed to be a ton of money lying around to mod it. So I researched my butt off, went with parts that were proven to work, and built the car to my exact specs.
Wouldn't change a thing. Having a 550whp car that can be daily driven is amazing on any level.

I do my research before buying parts so no real regrets because I know what I'm getting myself into. However I do get bored quickly so I change setups frequently. I'm sure there are guys here that have gone through 4+ sets of cams, exhaust, turbo kits, etc. It's a never ending cycle. lol
