lol sleet Mitsu has been really good to you..

Hiding your mods is a good way to keep it looking stock for example don't use bright wiring and stuff hide your boost controllers etc etc. I know some mechanics at Mitsu dont even know about mods so wont bother looking for them.

I don't know if they can "Void" a warrenty, but they can say that what you did caused the problem you are having. If you get it fixed and undo your mods, still under warrenty. Any truth to this?

No they can deny all future warranty claims on your car once they find out its modded they can just red flag your VIN #. Best thing to do is be honest with them if they ask. Obviously if you launch your car and the TC and clutch go poo poo they shouldnt be expected to warranty it no car company would.

it depends where you go. Some dealership is mod friendly and some ain't. The one in Tustin California doesn't accept ANY mods at all but the one in Huntington Beach accept few mods like intake, exhaust, suspension, and Turbo Timer. So it all depends on your dealer.

www.ralliartusa.com it is the performance side of mitsubishi that mmna is starting up, sould be in full swing in april i think maybe a lil later. the only way a warranty can be voided is if that part caused the failure of the vehicle. (example) if you are having problems with your transmission and all you have is a intake or exhaust, and the warranty trys to deny the repair, all you should have to do is remind them about the magnum moss act.
