Should I be worried?

Not a drop of oil but I did follow gavs advice of a hard engine run in.
...
Just do it! LOL

I can happily echo these sentiments, I've done 5050kms now and not had any oil consumption issues to date. The only thing that I've done, was to run it in really hard once up to temp (I averaged a tick over 10l/100kms for the first 2000kms). I did have slight soot issues during this period however I did expect this during run-in. I had the APR ECU tune done at 2000kms and have had only good times since.

Seriously fun little car!

How do you find the APR tune? what is the difference in power like? I am thinking of doing this myself, or their cold air intake.

Boeta, LOVE your car too!!

Yeah, run it in hard once up to temperature.

Just seems way to odd that everyone running an APR tune, or even a tune for that matter, don't seem to be having any issues than those who are stock...

I'm going to tune, just afraid if there is a warranty issue and isn't granted due to finding out ECU has been flashed...

Each to their own Kez, I love the smoothness through the gears, it has created (although thats just my perception). But it feels much quicker...but its still pretty early on and I'm still learning

I was a huge believer in leaving the car alone... but changed my mind after Gavs giving advice that tuning can be very useful (not necessarily APR) for ECU mapping in general.

So bit of an update for you guys, and thanks again for all the info and replies.

Picked up the car this morning, waited till oil tempt was @ 90, then straight up the local mountain (mount Keira rd for anyone familiar with Wollongong)

Can anybody spell grin from ear to ear???

Am i looking forward to a few more of those drives or what!!!
