I finally got this home from the tuners today.
It's made 106rwkw on the running in tune @ 5500 rpm.
The rev limit is also set at 5500rpm so lots of room for improvement with a decent tune and the rev limit put up to where it should be.
I'll get some pics this weekend after I've finished grinning at it

It was raining this weekend so unfortunately I didn't get any pictures.
I'm starting to get used to driving it now, goes very well
Problems to fix:
Getting hotter than I'd like = better cooling fans, oil cooler
Diff mount hitting floor pan = bash floor pan
Rear rims rubbing (gives that supercharger whirr
) = roll guards out
Clunking noise from rear = make sure all bolts are tight/might just be diff hitting floor.

I think it might be the exhaust hitting the diff or the floor pan.. will be able to find out once it's on the hoist. I got rid of some of the clunk by figuring out that the bushes in the lower of the rear shocks were too large and it was rattling around. Sorted that out.
I gave the floor pan a good bash where the diff mount was hitting it but it's still hitting a tad... will have to bash it out some more.
Rolled the guards too but I think they're still scrubbing at the back

Well I got all my modifications certified by the engineer, so I'm nearly road legal, just a few things to fix up and I'll be drivin' her around!
Here are a few pics I quickly snapped this afternon, sorry there are none of the car yet, it's packed into a car-port which is non-condusive to photography.
