What are some warranty friendly mods that I can do on my WRX. I have an AccessPort on order, but I am looking for some mods that I can do without voiding my warranty.

Suggestions?

 

It's really all about your dealer. Some dealers are really cool when it comes to mods, others not at all. When you modify your car you're really taking a risk.

You could probably get away pretty easily with replacing your wheels and umm..hmmm..well, if your dealer isn't cool that's about it. REALLY, there is a law stating that the dealer has to PROVE that your modifications were the cause of the problem (when you try to get warranty work) but in the time you are fighting them to get your car warrantied, it's sitting broken at their lot and you're cruising a rental.

Good luck with whatever you do

 

if you replace your wheels and have any tires other than the stock factory rubber your trans warranty is grounds for denial if it breaks. if you modify something and it directly affects that broken part, your warranty can and will be denied.

springs, etc: voids failures suspension related
intakes, BOV, etc: voids failures A/F related
wheels, tires, clutches, flywheels: voids failures drivetrain related
aftermarket alarm, stereo: voids failures elcetrical related
MBC, reflash: voids engine/turbo failures

well, you get the trend...like SonicSuby said, dealerships can be stingy or not, depending on which one you go to.
