I regret getting the Catz windshield wipers in "carbon fiber", the finish is fading and corroding away, looking like crap after only 8 months. And it only rains here like 10 times a year!

I probably will eventually regret the battery relocation, since I'll need to buy a stock terminal assembly and crimp it together if I ever want to move it back. But I'm keeping this thing for a long time, so no worries.

Not to bring up that Puerto Rican kid again, but doesn't his Lancer still have all the interior in it and still runs mid 12s?

I would'nt say that it would never see 12s. No one would have thought that the lancer could have made the numbers its making right now a year ago. Nothing is impossible.

Once again, I thought that USDM Lancer in Puerto Rico went 12.6 without gutting it. He was running a high amount of boost, but the engine was built well enough to still be alive today.

Sorry for not reading your mind properly, but unless there's a hidden message here, you failed to mention you're only talking about the RRM Lancer...

There is a nongutted Lancer running 12s. Did I miss something?

I bought some midpipes for my lancer and was planning to get an axle back to complete the exhaust. After all the complaints about noise from everyone else I regret spending the $75 for the pipes as they have no resonator. They've been sitting under my couch since I received them.

I could be 1/4 of the way to a full cat back easy now.

i guess all our definitions of fast are different.
More like a traditional manifold instead on an up pipe to take the cork out of it.
