It will still be reliable as you can see from the hundreds of ***** on here who have gone mod crazy and are still running strong.
My dealership voided the warranty for the navi/cubby lid because of an aftermarket stereo installation. Although installing a stereo does not have anything to do with messing with the cubby holder, they voided my warranty anyhow. I was pretty pissed off about their claim, so I walked out on them.
My dealership would not fix the alignment issue because I have aftermarket wheels. If I want to get it fixed without paying out of pocket, I have to change out my wheels. Yet, they weren't particularly bothered by my new wheels when they worked on the axle clicking issue.
Those are mods not related to performance, yet they keep trying to get me to pay out of pocket somehow.

Right. You want to be spoon fed. If you knew what the hell you wanted to search for, it'd take you max 5-10 minutes to find the exact answers.
Rather, you want everyone to do the work for you. Sorry buddy, fck that. Stop being such a lazy *** and do some work on your own like everyone else on this planet.

danielwebb, why don't you elaborate a bit on what these performance mods are designed to improve? For example, do you take the car to the track? If so, are you a 1/4 mile type person, AutoX type person, or road coarse type person.
May seem silly, but this will go a long way in determining what mods to do and in what order...

Case in point, you don't search, you never have, and you probably never will. All those threads simply prove my point. You're a lazy ****.

^+1 Newb is definitely lazy about searching first or he does not have a clue how to use it. Or he could be both. And he definitely does not have a clue yet what he wants to do with his Z.

So, my friend is selling his M3. Interested? Ahaha... j/k about the suggestion ;-)
If you are going for N/A response without going turbo, I remembered people suggesting the lightweight Tilton flywheel/clutch package. I'm not sure if it is still trendy since I never really found an interest for it. Your car will rev very fast though. If you really care about smoking someone to 60-70mph, then try to get shorter gearing designed to improve 0-60mph times. However, shorter gearing means you'll decrease your topspeed (not like you need 155+ mph) and at cruising speeds the tach will be very high. Look for upgrades for the final drive gear. I don't read much about it, but owners use it to get out of turns quick at the track.
Beware... these upgrades will affect daily driving at to some degree. I mean if you want to get to 60mph really really fast, you might end up sacrificing some drivability. Oh... you need some grippy tires too! Quick traction off the line will get your car moving right away.

Actually my favorite performance mod that was found in the Honda forums is to state the power the car is capable of producing. "With my 30HP intake upgrade and 50HP exhaust upgrade, I should get at least 70HP out of my car."
I was told something similar by a Type-R owner. He claims over 100HP from the marketing material for his intake and exhaust upgrade.
