Default How much abuse can FRS take?

I know, I know, how long is a piece of string, but generally speaking, how hard do you guys drive yours, and how reliable have they been?

apart from a jammed thermostat, needing new shocks all round and several chargecooler mounts mine has been faultless.

it regularly gets take out and driven VERY hard. just hit 49.000 miles in it and still loving every minute!

LOL, sounds like you've been having fun! I've been quite gentle with mine thus far; keep thinking I'm in one of my old RS turbos - where something would break every time I booted it.
