I bought my 2009 Black Edition in 2010. Been on the slippery slope ever since, even though initially I didn't plan to mod the car. Well, if there's a way to make it quicker... eventually I had full bolt-ons, running on E85. The car was feeling properly fast, did 1/4 mile 10.41s and one mile at 306.7 km/h. It was the quickest street car finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma had tested at track and I won the first drag event (1/8 mile) I attended.

After two summers of driving the car hard on E85 and finally last summer adding GTC suction pipes and SRD intercooler seemed to break the camel's back and a conrod gave up on a track day in August last year. I did have some fueling problems prior to the incident though, but got that sorted before leaving for the track. Did logs on the way and everything was 100% ok. Then the engine just blew up after driving nearly one tank's worth of laps. Yes, I did cool down the car in between the stints

I'm quite confident that it was a mechanical failure, limits of stock internals were found. Other possibilities are fueling problems and oil starvation in the corner, but let's see what the tear down reveals.
Not looking promising when went to assess the damage at a friends garage:
