A couple questions from a new guy

I just got my TSX a couple months ago, and i want to start doing some performance mods to it. Its a 2004 TSX AT with 33000 miles. The only thing I did to it so far is add a K and N air filter.

I've read about the hondata reflash, is it worth it? Ive read about all thats good about it but is there any downfall to it? Do I lose miles per gallon or anthing? Loss in torque? Voids the warranty?

What are some other mods that I should do first? If I don't want to spend tons of money?

Thanks guys!

From what I've researched, hondata is worth it. The only downfall is the 3 days that your car will be out of service (unless you live in southern california). You won't lose fuel mileage if you continue to drive the way you currently drive. hondatafied owners tend to overdo it ;-P

It won't void warranty unless they find out (which they won't actively go to check). Even then, they would have to prove that it is the cause of your problem (for example, if the ECU sent an incorrect signal, causing your engine to blow...something like that)

The other mods depends on you. If you don't want to spend any money, stop thinking about modding your car. Once you do 1 or 2 mods, you will want to do more.
