That's good information. Really good to know, thanks.
Car's due for a service shortly, so once it's done I'll get in the habit of flushing fluids and oils midway between each service. Double down on it.

I'm not exactly fussed on the traffic light Grand Prix, (maybe in my P plate days, but no more). There's a few sets of lights before motorways around where I live so there's a little chance use some of what the car's got to offer, but that just for my benefit rather than trying race ol' mate in his VL Commodore.
It's just nice having all that torque below 2K rpm to get yourself out of trouble or merge into that lane quickly when needed.
Wheels are a big one I've been thinking about. The plasti-dipped stock numbers are a bit tacky for my taste. They're not awful to look at, but they are awfully thin. A 7inch rim with 205s is like rolling around on pizza cutters.
What's the best way to convert stud pattern? Spacer adapters?
I like the idea of getting a good set of wheels and carrying them over to my next car. Which will probably be a newer "facelift" C30 T5 down the line, takes the sting out of spending a quarter of the car's purchase cost on wheels.
What's the most wheels you'll get under a C30, with say a 20-30mm drop?
Enkei has any number of nice options in 18x8.5 with anywhere from +35 to +45 offset. I've always had a thing for Enkeis.

Got bob Jane rubber on atm with some nasty wheels. Not a fan tbh :P
