Hi guys, My 1.6L SX (A) koup will be arriving in late August, and as it is my first car, would like to ask for any advices & recommendations in maintaining and improving its performance over the months/years? E.g. Other than the regular 10km/etc inspections, is there: 1. any additional parts to add into the car or change so that its performance would improve? 2. any add-ons to lengthen the lifespan of the good stock parts so that they would not wear & tear so easily? 3. and at what stage of ownership should the recommended edits be done? As I am not very knowledgeable on technical terms, please do pardon me if I need clarification or more detailed explanations to understand your recommendations. Thanks!

First, I would suggest not modding until u pass the 10k mileage as u need to insure against factory defects n claim warranty, should u mod, they can void yr warranty especially those mods which cannot revert back easily.
U also need to drive n feel the car for a period of time to know the benchmark of the stock performance, else how u know or feel if there is any improvement. Don't just based on others comments.
After 10k or even after one year, then is safe to mod, as warranty seldom cover wear n tear which can occurs after the first year.
If u need more info, can always contact me on my mobile 81888297. I been driving n modding my koup for more than one year.

Noted. So I guess I'll have a good amount of time to save up for mod afterwards.

In the meanwhile, find your direction and destination first.
Do not decide on the mode of transport before you set your destination.
It is very difficult for anyone to give good and credible advise with a general statement by you. For eg: Do you think it is better to walk there, take a taxi or bus? Then I would next ask you, where do you want to go in the first place.
That is say you should understand what you want to achieve for your car and what are the capabilities your car can achieve. Thanks and safe driving.

For long trouble free ride, don't do any major mod. Simple mod like K&N air filter(breathing), using good synthetic engine oil, MTF or ATF (heart circulation), iridium plugs will do.
