280k miles was that on the same engine? There is one on ebay at the moment with 180k miles. Says it has a new engine but strangly enough when I asked they have no receipts to prove it. Something about being rubbish with paperwork.

Now 36 years old, and every time I take my restored standard looking mk1 turbo out to blow cobwebs off, I get challenged by the saxo,civic etc brigade!! I had to laugh when a civic v-tec was tailgating me on a quiet straight bit of road. ( I dont scream around built up areas due to being far too sensible in my old age!) But I just had to give this young lad in education in how NOT to mess with uno turbos, especially when they are running with 163bhp. I floored it, and he was soon a tiny spec in my door mirror lol. I slowed down again so I could get a clear view of his jaw dropping from his mouth as he became just another victim! Oh, happy days are here again lol .............hides uno away in garage & replaces dust cover over tee hee!
