When to do performance mods?

zeeder · 12-06-2013, 02:44 PM

I'm lamenting the lack of funds to do some of the bigger ticket bolt-on modifications so I thought I'd start a poll. What are your thoughts about mod timing?

Some performance mods will not void warranty.

There's no golden rule. It comes down to what and when you want them. It is your car, after all.

So I guess when you're going to stop lamenting, maybe that might be a good time to give mods a thought.

My thought process on this subject goes a little like this...Keep it stock until you get bored of the car. Then start nodding keeping it NA. Once you get bored of that then it's time to go FI. After FI get a nitrous hook up. After that it'll be time for a new car lol

Keep it stock until after you have started autox/track days. Get a feel for what you actually care to change/improve.

Warranty is a non-issue.
