Congrats bud:thumbs:

Any major issues getting to 275000km's?

Only major issue was a rear subframe tear which is an issue on these cars but its fixed. Other than that the normal wear and tear replacements.

Thanks very much guys. After all the work put in I think I might just keep on going till I can get a nice x35i, M3. That should be in a few years time. No use in selling the car for max R60 000.00. Can't even get a Polo for that money.

I know my car. I know where it needs more TLC and where all is fine. I love the car. I love the straight six scream. With the new performance bits its even more enjoyable.

Maybe in a few years when I get a new car i might think of doing an engine overhaul and looking at FI for this one.
