I think GrahamFR has one of the BCS exhausts. Definitely one for the future.

I always think about modding to improve performance but then I'm torn between outlaying hundreds of £'s on the current car or looking to save for the next one. The latter argument always tends to win. I'm only 8 months into ownership and already find it difficult to stop thinking about what I'll get next.

One BCS Powervalve, one set of eibach prolines, rear set of spacers and one Shark in a box. On order is the expensive pipercross induction kit and waiting for Wagner fmic, and then I'm done, honest.

Panel filter will be up free to a good home when it finally comes too!

To be honest i'd rather just get a panel filter that try and make a DIY filter. I guess that depends how you find the induction kit  :smiley:

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm after any feedback from people in the know.

I'm looking at getting some B16 coilovers for my new R. I understand that this will void the suspension side of the warranty but has anyone taken a lowered car in for other warranty stuff?

I don't want to end up with a worthless warranty by having these fitted.

Cheers  :smiley:

Suspension warranty will be void, if you have wheel bearing issues they will blame the mods and steering. But everything else should be covered including brakes. I put an axle back exhaust on my car 2days after picking it up and had no issues with warranty work.
