they'll do any service you have to pay for but not warranty work.

yes you will have to pay but they will do it, if they have not seen the car yet they also may say bye bye to your warranty and I have heard some document it that its modded.

Yes they will do any maintenece you pay for, Ive just relaized that if im going to keep my warrenty in case of a trans or engine issue, i will be doing all the maintainence myself. If you take it to the dealer, they will make a side note about the mods, and or void the warrenty if you have enough mods. All dealers are differant though, i wouldnt risk it. You could always go to an independent shop.

I'd take it somewhere else for the service. Try to keep your warranty if you can in case anything serious happened: just de-mod the whole car so they can work on it for FREE!

I really think it depends on what dealership you go to. Look at the Mods on my sig. My local dealership has already changed out my two front Brembo Calipers and my sincro gears. To do that they had to drop my transmission and they saw my Exedy clutch and they still fixed it. You have to find a good service guy who will go to bat for you like I did. I've recommended friends who haven't had any problems so far. Time will tell if they get more stricter but so far so good.

Thats the only maintenance you need to do til 60-70k when you do the timing belt, I think the manual says even later, but i rather be safe than sorry. That tears and youre ****ed...

You can go wherever you want. Do what I did. I went to the dealer without my car and spoke to a couple of service techs and explained everything I had. That way they don't see your car or write down your VIN number. Make your decision based on their answers. I'm not saying this will work everytime but it worked for me. Good Luck
