I have owned it since May 2007 where I bought it with 64k on the clock.
It only broke down once since then in November 2009 where the clutch plate basically disintegrated and exploded so I had to be towed away 
Since changing jobs I have had to replace the engine though.
I got lucky and managed to purchase a fully rebuilt engine by Rogue Motorsport. I have a receipt to prove the purchase and a Dyno Report that shows 130.6 BHP at the flywheel. Clocks now read 142k, yes thats 78k in 3 years! I love driving the car! Modifications:
Custom Powerflow
'wheelbarrow' exhaust fully stainless steelMagnecor HT Leads
Blitz Air filter located in the boot
Cusco front strut brace
MRS 15" alloys on Vredstein Sportrac 3 195/50/15s all round
Koni Adjustable Suspension on lesfor springs, lowered 30mm.
Stock front discs with green stuff racing pads
Rear grooved discs with yellow stuff racing pads
HEL yellow braided brake lines
MK3 rear calipers
Clear indicators and front lenses
Sony CD Player
Front Infinity Reference Speakers 4"
Rear JL Audio speakers 3.5"
Jimi accelerator bracket
I have replaced both the front wings, one for steel and the other fibreglass
(due to finances). Rear arches are bubbling once again. I had these filled in February 2009. I have recently fitted Supercharger Rear lights and they make a hell of a difference to the looks at the rear and fitted the rectangular rear number plate too.
No fog lights unfortunately but it can be taken from the standard rear lights and installed for MOT purposes.The rear bumper does not line up one side as I reversed into a concrete pillar 1 night before Japfest! I am going to replace this and the bar if need be and refit it, before JAE.
The alloys need a refurb and will probably get these refurbished either back to standard silver or maybe Anthracite.
MOT FEB 2010 TAX will be to FEB 2010 as well

I'd like to think I'd get around
£1700 for it?
