It is up the the service center where you bring your car. Some are mod friendly and some are not. If you are not suffering from the mod bug then dont mod, just dont get bit.

after reading your post about cruise control i think it's a "SMART" idea that you stay away from modding your car. I think you need to spend a few good hours reading your manual. Did you know that you have a snail in your engine bay?

SPT and STI parts will not void your cars factory war. You MUST have them installed by a dealership or else they can use it against you. Having it installed at the dealership leaves a paper trail showing that no other warranty illegal parts were installed prior or during. This will save your war. and keep you happy at a minimally modded state. Seeing that your car is a 2004, I wouldnt even concern yourself with it.

Looking at your history you really gotta just read the manual. I consult my manual all the time for referencing what fluid (viscosity, etc) to use and it will tell you a LOT of things if you are just starting to get into cars. If you said you aren't that into "high tech" cars, just read the entire thing.

SOA doesn't *have* to cover SOJ parts. It really, really, really depends on the dealer. I used Becker for my 30k with my stg 2 sti with typical suspension upgrades and it wasn't mentioned to me. I haven't had any warranty issues come up though, since the car has been rock solid reliable. Becker couldn't bleed my Brembo brakes correctly, but thats another issue of its own.
