Yea, probably time for an update it's registered and driving around :) Just sorting out the minor issues now that come along with a build like this..

Snapped the driveshafts early in the piece and got the new ones in last week so touch wood, they seem ok now, though i havn't been game to launch it hard yet :lol: :shock:

Took it for a 4hour drive on the weekend and it was great, but it ended up cracking a steel brake line from felx/vibrations as it was run a bit tight and i lost the brakes, but picked it up early just before we went through galston gorge :lol:

It was only a few inches long so replaced the whole run with a new braided line and it all seems sweet. Thanks to Kev for letting me leave it at his place and for helping to replace everything 8)

Just got to sort out an oil leak now, possibly from the front main seal, or around that area at least :? :cry: also the alternator pulley needs aligning.

It's wickedly fast though and good fun, getting used to it - you just have to be smooth with your right foot and make sure you dont have much lock on when you want to go straight :lol:

The LSD is absolutely awesome around roundabouts, plenty of grip and it seems easier to floor it around a corner than it does to keep it in a straight line :lol:

In the wet last night it was spinning both wheels equally and tracking straight, just seems like when there is heaps of grip on dry bumpy bitumen and sticky tires that it just grips and pulls all over the place and really highlights the torque steer.

No vids yet, but will definately be taking some more 8)

Oh...love those decals 8) (what's the 200 stand for, hp?)
In that first pic is that just a shadow or is the guard bent in away from the flair :?
And those wheels look awesome on it :D
