Default soon to be accent owner se 08

Hello, this is going to be my third car, a new one hopefully.

I have a few questions id like to ask you all, please and thanks

What is the difference between a 4speed and 5speed manual transmission.

Would it be a good idea to go for some bosch *for example* break pads?

Mobil 1 oil, does this effect anything in a negative way with this small engine and does it effect warranty?

Where do I go to for a exaust *good parts verses bad parts*? and does this effect warranty as well?

And also, Special tires, i like firestone, so its just a preference.

Anything else i should know. I dont want to do anything else because it is my beliefe that the car should remain how it was originally designed to maintain duribility or like making the car somthing it should not be.

How good is this engine at high temperatures, and will the damn thing break if i beat the piss out of it? *which i will not do, its an investment ofcource*

eh...just about everything you mention will effect your warranty. Try the dealer. They have some small mods I belive you can get for the 08 Accent.

The exhaust though...as long as you maintain a cat-back you will/should be fine.

The oil doesnt do squat for a stock Accent, so I sat just use OEM oil. No point wasting money and possably your warranty because of it.

4 speed is an automatic transmission and a 5 speed is a manual.

Bosch foot pedals? Not sure but try kdmstuff.com, kspec.com, or sharkracing.com

I haven't gone on either in a few weeks but Im sure they updated with some stuff for your model year.
