The "Why the **** did I buy this" Thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Schwiegz · 02-28-2012, 01:22 AM

Post a picture of something that you purchased, and once you got it, pretty much wished you punched yourself in the face before making that purchase.

Not that it isnt a great wheel, and pretty high quality for the price I paid. But, the rest of my interior is black and classy and leather...this is...pink.

Why the **** did I buy this?

AAAAAAND GO!

oOI WEST IOo · 02-28-2012, 01:27 AM

this money pit

BOROSUN · 02-28-2012, 01:37 AM

Bought this ultra 4point brace , thinking it would protect the oil pan. but, does not even fit
low cars with fat sway bars like tanabes. the end part also hits the steeringrack boots, needs to be shaved.

total waste of money.

HellaFlushSRs13 · 02-28-2012, 02:25 AM

My car...... Dont have a pic but I'm really kicking myself in the ass right now for buying an out of state salvage title reconstruct, even though it was a great deal and worth way more than i bought it for in terms of motor, suspension, interior, etc

nemcho · 02-28-2012, 02:46 AM

Thought the same thing with both these cars. Sold one of them since then.

And also this

But it's now, I think the end result will erase my regrets.

JasianBlazin · 02-28-2012, 03:22 AM

This fiberglass piece of crap OEM kouki lip. It blew up when I hit a possum, and it fit terribly.

delado · 02-28-2012, 07:09 AM

My dmax corners. Should have waited till I found some bricks. Oh yeah and also sometimes I just regret overall my entire car lol.

Roof by wilwmak, on Flickr

Some genius, decided to install non-nissan sunroof into the S14 and hacked out the roof re-bar un-necessarily ...
I guess this was my fault for not ripping out the headliner to check this crap. -_-

waxball88 · 02-28-2012, 09:49 AM

After buying DCC
Without the mix motor, which renders it essentially useless until i can jerry-rig one from a maxima or something

One on the left is mine- Spent so much money on this, i'm over the 10k mark in just the engine only not even including my suspension and other little shit. It's all worth it though!
