Superchipped ECU isn't ideal, get it mapped on ESL daughterboard or an uprated ECU and it will be even better with added piece of mind. Looks tidy mate.

Rebuilt engine AND gearbox or just engine. Cos the 'box will die eventually (I found out the expensive way on my old Scoob @ 135,000 miles - new engine @ 70,000 before I bought it).

Mine was too, until it died and cost me £1700 to rebuild. Remembering its a AWD car so enthusiastic driving will kill the box first due to the extra traction.

If any one wants an R reg Uk one of these in same colour, 156000 miles( I think ) with MOT to june 2010, taxed to Jan or Feb, magnex exhaust, Hybrid boost controller, knock link, sony radio, reasonable condition but a few faults ( like keyfob only sets alarm not central locking, n/s rear window does not move, a few scratches and scuffs on bodywork / bumper ) for about £1100, I know of one.
Probably 240+ bhp with boost controller.

Sorry, gearbox was £900 for a fresh job from API (not some back street monkey). Had major service done, new clutch put in, and the £1700 included all labour too. Sorry for the misunderstanding

And no, I felt that was good value for everything included.
