Ive owned this car for almost 5 years, and in that time its changed its looks a few times, and has had a few different engines - including a throttle bodied XE. Its all back to standard, well looks wise anyway! Most of the time/effort/money on its final incarnation has gone into the handling side of things, as you'll see from the spec below... Handles amazingly - not driven many like it. This pretty has been a money no object project from august 2001.
The engine has had a top end rebuild around 10 miles ago, with new stem seals, gaskets and bolts. Cam belt kit and water pump is less than 5000 miles old.
