Welcome Tulay. On your plans list consider a kido tune. Best bang for your buck and will pay for itself in fuel savings alone over about 10,000kms. I expect Many b-spec owners here will agree..... Better drive ability too.
Oh and keep an eye on your oil usage...

Thanks for the heads up Tonic. Ive had her for 2 years now and constantly check the oil every 2 weeks. Are you able to pass on the details for Kido Tune? Today I put on a pod filter and I dont think she liked it.. my cruise control and engine light came on then coolant started dripping... so that's been taken off. Was so much easier doing mods on my previous 180's :/

Im guessing the overflow bottle was leaking from underneath, but I could be wrong :/

Get it looked at asap. You dont want the coolant to constantly leak out.
As for the pod filter, any small mod you do that involves the engine operation will require a tune. Kido will have that sorted quickly and also providing you with better economy and power at the same time.

Hate to say but if coolant was leaking then it may be to due to a blown headgasket pushing air into your cooling system. Headgasket failure could've been from the pod filter installation with no tune (engine ran lean and blew the headgasket)
As others said, get it looked at

Never a good idea.
You are playing with the air/fuel metering device components of the car.
Here is a previous post on a Pod Filter / CAI install causing a MAF sensor issue.
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=30651&hilit=+sensorHonestly, forget the Pod Filter. WOFTAM.
If you want things better, get Matt to put on an E85 Flex Fuel tune and maybe think about a set of Raptor Headers.
If you are looking for Matt you will find KiDo_Tuning here

Rather than a pod filter remove the resonance chamber from the bottom of the intake box. Matt will do that on a tune, improves breath ability and sound. But any leaking fluid sounds ugggh....
