Default Barrow Island

Hey guys,

Just wondering who if anyone in our P-Wrx community has or is currently working on Barrow Island.

The 26:9 swings on paper seem a little daunting as they are much longer than previous swings I have done in the past. Is all the money worth the sacrifices? Opinions both negative/positive are welcomed!

TIA!

Shaun

Pretty hard yards mate . Money is very good but if you have a family and kids it's a struggle .. But each to there own set a goal and once it's reached create a new one or bail out ..
Good luck with everything tho

considering 4/1 to 6/1 are coming back in people should put the pipe down complaining about 26/9 considering the cash paid.

Might not even be 26-9 for you now ... Industrial trades said it was voted out today and bringing in 20-10 was a brief article so not to sure who it applies too

Thanks for the responses guys! Yeah a girl I know said 20:10 but I'm not sure if that applies to all or just some? Either way, I'm looking at it as a short term sacrifice for a long term gain...I know where all the extra $$$ is going to go though, my sti feels slow now
