Look at it this way, if you don't change them then the old ones will probably collapse whilst you're powering around a bend, you'll end up sliding off down a deep ravine and land upside down in a river, and just as you are crawling out with 2 broken arms and a broken leg the whole thing goes up in flames and you get 75% burns but survive.
How would you, or your Dad feel then?

i feel like that too.

i went to fit a 65mm throttle body on mine despite the fact i knew i wouldnt gain any horses/torque from it and had problem after problem after problem and after a shedload of cash and parts reverted back to original . making me weary of doing any mods at the moment.

I will say this though for mods: get pukka parts and a decent mechanic to do it. Pay your money's worth and it'll be fine. 2nd hand parts are a gamble and somebody who isnt very clued up will make a hash of it. So in other words do it properly first time round
