The ej207 I'm about to retire has 240,000+ km on it, It is still running fine with 1.7bar.......

It's had various mods & tunes (1.2,1,4 & 1.7 bar) over the last 3 years & still doesn't use any oil....The piston skirts are worn though and she is starting to have a wee bit of piston slap at normal running temps toodling to & from work in traffic....If I drive a little harder & heat it up properly she's dead quiet.

I suppose the moral is, look after it, tune it within reason & it will last quite a while with an enjoyable amount of power. If you want big power buy or build up a 207 short.

In the mean time add a GD STI top mount, zorst, tune & keep an eye out for secondhand VF turbo's as they pop up for sale.

For track days also look at improving the brakes & suspension.
