Just a quick update the car is actually ready to drive around , setting up the sensors etc to tune the car for the engine break in. So far i had a little drive and its pretty rough, engine is great , tranny is pretty extreme too. Only reving to 5k for now, but more likely i've been cruising at 2-3k rpm most of the time as the car still needs to have some stuff checked before hitting the road.
Added some interior pictures as well. before people ask i'm not putting any passengers in the back , i kept the seats for a cleaner look.
Some pictures taken today while i was driving the car home for lunch for the 1st time.
Car still needs a lot of finishing touchs made , i'm missing some bits to fit the roof liners. I also had to go for bigger wheels because the 18x9 +22mm i had before were too small. Now using 18x10 +15mm on all 4s. Still had to use a 10mm spacer for the back...

cord going under the PS door is for the wideband 
a little update , we've been doing some road tuning on the car to prep it for the engine break in , and we checked the spool as well , so far i'm pretty happy with the result. we only asked for 15psi and we got it by 4100ish rpm despite the turbo size and being non BB . rev limiter is set at 5k rpm so its reaaaallly teasing . The tuning is very conservative though so hopefully we can get better results later
I'm still planning to fly Chris here to tune the car anyway!
