def depends on dealer...
...IMHO, I have seen people have problems with the simplest mods (including myself), I have seen dealers make up the lamest excuses why they won't append the warrenty...Then on the other hand I have seen people go to the right dealer and get the utmost support. I would suggest checking with dealer!

Just go to your dealer and talk to the service manager. Tell him youl plan on putting 'xxxx' item on you car and ask him how they would treat you for warranty claims afterward.
Of course this won't stop them from changing their tune after but if they are 'hostle' when you even mention mods, chances are you'll really have a headache if you need something done once the mods are on.

SOME people have problems with them
But 90% of the people that use them have no problems and love them. In two cases, that i have personally seen, the problem was cause by incorrect instalation(both cases, the person didnt have the key lined up on the crank and tightened the bolt, which made the pulley be SLIGHTLY cocked to one side, adn off line with the other pulleys.)
Here is my advice. Get them, install them, and rev it out to red line a few times. If you have no wierd problems(cutting out at 6000 rpm is the one most people with problems have), leave them on and enjoy! Chances are that you wont have a problem.
OH and if you get an underdrive pulley, get the Go Fast Bits set, it comes with a smaller alternator pulley, so that the alternator will still run at normal speeds, and you will not have charging problems. If not underdrive, I would recomend the Perrin lightened pulley. I would stay away from Vishnu's underdrive pulley simply because of the alternator. His stuff is GREAT but it will underdrive the alternator, which will affect the ability of it as far as charging goes. Not that its a big deal, but I would rather spend the same $$$ for the FGB set that comes with a nice alternator pulley.

OH and another thing to do
Go to www.turboXS.com and look at the unichip stage one setup.
263HP and NO warranty problems whatsoever.
You take out an intake silencer, replace the muffler only, and install a Unichip with harness. The Unichip will cause warranty problems IF you go to the dealer with it installed, BUT it takes roughly 10 minutes to take it out, leaving no trace it has ever been there. Even if you have little to no mechanical ability.
I HIGHLY recommend this setup. BTW the dealer MAY give you isht about pulleys, but I doubt it(unless you go in for a dead battery/alternator problem)
You can find a used unichip for like 500 bucks right now on ebay or on these forums, since turboxs is out of them now.(they were 700 new)
OH and do yourself a HUGE favor and get a bigger rear sway bar and better end links. for 200 bucks(max) and about 1-2 hours work in your driveway, the handling is improved 100%.
Also look into new wheels(17's) and better tires(the stock re92's SUCK0

thanx for the info. you are def. right about the tires, horrible grip.
about the swaybar, i see 22mm and 24mm, larger is better I assume? And whats the deal with the intake silencer, where is it and how do i remove it?
Im gonna get the k&n replacent filter when i can get around to it. I was thinking of a vishnu stage 0 when i can spare the $, whats ur opinion on that vs. a utec?
