What's left to do?

rear brakes to hose up
finish the fire extinguisher system(for piece of mind on the dyno :lol: )
ive just swapped back to the standard sump as the raceline wouldnt fit so engine/gearbox oils
oil cooler
down pipes off having lambda boss welded in
tracking/geometry set up
also having some issues with the rev counter/fuel level gauge on the standard dash so its all being binned off for a custom one..so loads more wiring :rolleyes: :lol:
thats about all i can think of... but still enough :lol:

Very nicely finished, very nice indeed. Was that a pre-built assembly or something you had fabricated ?

Just want to say well done mate, you've put so much effort into this over the last couple of years and it's finally all come together for you.

I'm so glad I was there to see the last 30 mins or so, the car sounded awesome on the rollers and now I can't wait to see it actually being driven in anger, it's come along way since I bought it for £400 just over 5 years ago.
