Detailed is an under statement on how this clean this car really is...love it....wish we could get some in the states....
Only thing is the red tow-hook, there isn't another way to install it? (front bumper wise)

Thanks heaps for the comments guys, ive just been reading through the pages, the cars taken alot of effort to get it to this stage.
I'll have a small update with some pictures this weekend.
Not too sure how else i could install the tow hook at the front, removing it has crossed my mind just because it isnt perfectly centre.
Its also illegal to install one like it at the front of the car here...

I havent had too much to update on recently, the car is getting to a stage where i'm happy with it, theres not alot more i want to change.
The focus has pretty much been to make it as easy to drive as possible.
With the cams set the way they were, idling sounded mint but made it an absolute ****ter to drive on the street and the transmission made an odd rattling noise in time with the cam lope.
The cams have been adjusted to try and smooth the idle out a bit more and make it more responsive lower in the rev range, a Fluidampr harmonic balancer has been added which has worked wonders in reducing vibration, ive had the ECU swapped out for an Evo 7 ECU and had a retune with a little more boost to make up for the power loss up top from the cam timing being taken back a few degrees.
The difference in drivability is insane now, theres no struggling down low and boost comes on that little bit earlier, much stronger idle and the low speed jerking has basically gone.
Ive been thinking about running E85 on less boost as an option, just to give it even more response but i need to look into it more, i'd hate running out of fuel with no E85 pumps around, the idea of lugging a jerry can about doesnt appeal to me all that much either
This is the balancer that was added, its a fair bit heavier than the stock one, the design of it is quite clever but they have been around for a while now..
The only s**t thing is that they dont fit with an Evo 6 timing belt cover, so the cover needs to be modified or swapped out.
Here is the results of the tune - a little over 260kW with a peak of 465Nm of torque.
This graph is a comparison between the screamer pipe tune i had done a while ago and the new tune.
