Which parts should or could I get to make my 2000 base Prelude (engine and exhaust are stock except of a Type-S intake with a K&N replacement filter) more reliable under heavy or heavier use? I mean parts like radiator cap, thermostat, fanswitch, oil catch tank (Greddy?), new clutch, additives, ignition upgrades, ...
And what are the downsides of these parts?
I live in germany so overheating shouldnīt become a problem most of the time (itīs cold most of the time).
Thanx a lot for your help in advance!

 

Make sure that you do all of your scheduled maintenance. An oil cooler and a radiator will help. A good fuel filter and oil filter are also helpful.

 

Don't "run" your car all the time. Stay away from redline and don't shift hard. Other than that follow all your scheduled maintenance and you should be good to go.

 

Uuummm,.....thatīs why Iīm asking about products to make it more reliable!

 

Better gauges, and more of them so you know what's going on with your car. water temp, oil pressure, air/fuel....umm what else am I leaving out? That way you can spot problems as they are starting...
