hey guys,

just wondering (if you bought a brand new euro) how long after was it until you actually started doing some mods to it?

it's been one month since i got my new euro and i haven't done anything to it, and theres something in the back of my mind saying that i should wait haha.

^ mods wont void your honda warranty.

But if a certain Mod lead to the malfunction of another part, then that part wont be covered under warranty.

For example if you installed a CAI intake and your engine seizes up from water coming into the engine and causing hydrolock, they wont cover it.

Add a whiteline sway to your list mate - for $200 you will be kicking yourself why you didnt do it earlier.

mod ur car asap!

so if u do it later down the track... its that time u've lost driving the better of ur car. modding ur car will not make u keep ur car for longer...

so take the most advantage of driving with ur mods on!

I waited 2 years exactly cause it was leased for 2 years. Then I decided...I cant trade this car..it too good and with only 30 000km..got to keep it..

So I released and will own the car outright in 2 years. So I started my full mod program. Suspension done. Engine next...Major improvements in my enjoyment of the car with the suspension and RSB mods...DO IT!

The next day after purchasing my euro i fitted my 19 inch wheels and lowerd 3 inches, fitted rear camber kit and fitted intake.
The day after exhaust got fitted.

My car was finished with about 300km on the clock :cool:

My Honda dealership freaked out when i took my car there for 1000km service :)

At about 18mths I got a K&N panel and 3 weeks later I removed the res. That's it. I'd love to spend more but have better things to spend money on and only loose it down the track.
