I just got my 05 two days ago.
I love the car, its everything I thought it would be.

I plan on doing the basic bolt ons in the near future.
Has anyone had any reliability issues with simple mods,
if so which ones.
Also which mods seem to have no affect on reliability?

Reliability is important to me as this is my daily driver.

 

I have an 06. I did a K&N fipk, counter sunk shift knob(team voodoo from Ricks2k, best cheap mod.you can get) and cat-back exhaust. No problems at all. I plan on a ECU reflash at some point, but that will be it for me.
IMO you might have issues if you go much further than that.
I am not a fan of forced induction, headers, throttle bodies, test pipes, etc. Seems risky to go that far... there will be plenty that disagree. Just my opinion, to each his own. Good driving.

 

i have an 07 and i just did exhaust and im planning on doing alot of suspension mods, and than probably supercharger becasue it is pretty reliable.

If you only want to do bolt ons i would do headers, intake, test pipe or high flow cat, single exhaust (for the most power) or go with a dual of ur choosing. Also since you have an 05 you can't get a reflashed ECU.

You won't have any reliability problems with headers, exhaust, intake, testpipe.

NExt i would get a greddy emanage ultimate and get it tuned if you have a good tuner near you. This will get you some good gains but your looking at about 500-600 for the unit and another 300-500 to tune. Its a piggyback so if you ever have a problem you can take it off and take ur car to honda.

Now thats just "performance mods"

If you want like suspension mods i would go front sway and either coilovers or GC/koni combo... either one is good.

 

i/h/e/tp suspension and wheels

 

Just be carefull with the AEM CAI and water, other than that I have had no problems with reliability after my bolt ons.

 

you will only start to see reliability issues once you go FI. bolt ons, if installed properly, will not affect reliability.

 

go modify your suspension... thats not gonna hurt reliability
then you get the satisfaction of a fun-er to drive car

 

this is true but it also depends on how you do it. Superchargers are pretty reliable. Turbos arn't as reliable but if you do it right than you won't have a problem. Forexample, dont cheap out on FI or your going to get screwed in the end. Use a Inline pro cast manifold for turbos and that thing won't crack. Dont use any ebay stuff. and you should be fine.

 

Like said above don't be cheap, being cheap is what makes things unreliable. There are a lot of guys that have gone FI with no issues because they didn't go cheap.
