They [the owner] were wondering why it was lacking in power and overheating (a few other symptoms as well but, I can't remember them). They took it in and checked under the bonnet only to find the erm... 'wally' had put an induction kit on it (totally botched by all accounts, a 50 quid jobby from Halfrauds/Argos), and it was now sucking in hot air [Versus nice cold air] and contributing at least to the overheating of the engine...... they told the guy, sorry warranty has been voided, oops  . The service guy's point was, Honda spend 1 Million pounds plus per day on R&D, how on earth did the guy think that some 50 quid kit from Halfrauds could improve on their efforts??????????
Thought someone may find this interesting.

Yeh, That's the only problem with fiddling about with them when they are under warranty. Even if you know what you are doing and your mod's are spot on, it gives them (Honda) a reason to reject a warranty claim.
