I was a fan of the alloy colour, but I will reserve my judgement until the final fitment

[Lito]

Keen to see what's next!

[Lito]

I want to see this on full tune! You going to head to a lakeside laps when it's done?

I wouldn't be too worried about using it daily. My S3 is my daily doing 450-500 Kms a week and is fairly modified. It loves it! I change the oil every 5000 Kms. These 1.8Ts are pretty reliable, age is against them but

look forward to seeing some good video of the tuned finished product like we see of all those european and yank ones!!

the only thing I am concerned with is the reliability of them as a daily(only planning the usual minor mods to wake it up and make it handle well, but the bug always bites haha). It is the big thing that everyone craps on about. but from the look of it. its no worse than any other car of its type everything just starts wearing out and failing as everything seems to have on yours over the course of the thread.
I guess you just have to stock up on wear items from overseas to save the most money incase they fail early and you have to buy local over inflated prices.
if you are heading up to Narangba I would be keen to have a look at yours as I live here too.

Yeah they're just like any car really, once the hit the 10yr mark a lot of consumables have to be replaced. In saying that, a lot of the parts I have replaced wouldn't have needed to be replaced if wasn't pushing this much power through the chassis. I'm not up at narrangba much but next time I'm up at gavs I'll let you know!
