Modification Regrets?
Recently I've started hearing funky noises from my motor, seems to just have happened in the last 2 weeks after we've been getting hit by storms. I put on my exhaust about a month or less ago, could just be I hear it more. It kinda sounds like if you put a marble in a plastic cup and shaked it around every now and then. I hope its not knock or any bearings or anything at all, my car only has a cone filter and an exhaust. no tune, I'm thinking maybe a tune could help it out?
Usually only happens when its cold out and goes away, but sometimes it doesn't and sometimes its just not there at all.
If its because of the mods I swear to god I'm going to flip my ****. Sometimes they make me so paranoid

I had the exact same problem.
Get some 5mm spacers with some additional longer bolts with the match size and put them in, it will take care of your problem real fast.
My cost to fix the problem:
$5.00 and 1 hour of my time.

i regret every mod i ever did, i wish i had a stock car now i have some stupid caged fully built car. i kinda wish i had something with simple mods so its not stock but i went alittle nuts.
Things I have regretted so far

For the benefit I got off these mods I really can't justify the price tag I paid. Maybe when I get on E85 the results will be more pleasing.

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.

BTW this thread is great for guys like me that haven't done nothing or just simple mods please keep the replies going I already changed my mind about a few mods that i was planning on doing to my car
My regret is of coarse... My turbo timer 
I know, I know... Could have been money spent better elswhere. Oh well live and learn. I'd much rather sit in my car for 30 sec to a min after driving. I'm not knocking the peeps that have one. To each is own. But for me. Waste of my money

I regret wasting my money on two bovs that didn't perform better than the stocker, turbo timer, cf radiator panel, and cf spark plug cover. All worthless parts that cost me money that I am now barely trying to recover by selling these parts.
