Looks well good man. Coming on great! Love your engine, looks so good being all nice and clean. keep up the good work man and I have heard also that X-pin diff is meant to be one of the best fast road /race diff so IF i were you i would be going for that for allround driveability in the way you are looking for

Good work mate :D

if its polished it will absorb less heat from the engine bay, and will help keep charge temperatures down. How bout that for an excuse for bling!
