Hi Michiel,

Regarding oil changes, I stick with 7500 oil changes. Never had an issue.

May flush out old DCT fluid (the 4-5 bottle flush vs complete drain) including coolant at 70K only since I was tracking heavily.

Standard maint. I did go with PF 2 piece rotors (reduced consumable cost) with Pagid Yellow or PF08 pads. Upgrade to SRF otherwise you will be bleeding your brakes each weekend after track.

Car under CPO, knock on wood running solid. I do hear a thump from the rear diff and it could be the bolt (known culprit). Covered... Both my front motor mounts had sheared and the motor almost dangling on the front subframe. Horrid vibration and power steering shreaks but fixed under warranty. Mass Air Sensor gave up the ghots at 60K miles. Again warranty.

Shocks are somewhat of a weak link on this car. You'd feel lack of rebound (dancing feeling especially at the rear end). Fixed with Bilstein EDC shocks.

Apart from brakes, fuel and tires (with regular oil changes), car is solid after tracking for 3 years.

Cheers,

Lutfy
