All I can say is AWESOME!!!!!
Did you end up getting it registered? Any problems?
Have you done a road test yet? How does it handle? I bet it goes like a shower of sh1t.

Thanks to all those that have replied. The car is registered. Couple on minor issues with the engineer(Bash plates, gear pattern 2B displayed, mesh needed in spoiler and the other 1/2 to the noise test. The car is not as light as I thought it would be, tipping the scales at 1150kg with a 1/3 tank fuel. Only driven it for the last week. Still on the first tank of BP Ultimate. It handles fairly well. Took to suspension place today to adjust the camber castor and toe. Issues with the castor being around 2 deg neg. Sort this out with 2 axis adjustable strut tops then the rest can be sorrted.
Looked into how far this has been lowered with it roughly getting closer to the round by 100mm. The back shocks have been changed to Lite-ace.
Couple of small things to sort out(intercooler water spray, wiper sweep, mag wheels)
Showing a couple of pics of both my coupes and the beast as it stands today.

Blue car is going to be advertised. It has been a great car for the last 4 years. Can only drive one car at a time.
The red car will be at the japanese show and shine in Brisbane in october??

Absolutely fantastic both cars. I have a GLF Coupe and want to put WRX seats in it how did you do yours based on the railes and bolt holes in the floor you would be a legend if you made my job easy.

To fit the WRX seat
* remove the seat rails from the base of the WRX seats. it leaves you a flat base to work with.
* remove the sliding rails from the coupe seats.
* Measuring the distance between the bolt holes on both the seats you can work out how it will position of the flat bar.
* I then used some 60mm x 5mm flat bar running it across the width of the car. A bit of an overkill.
* drill the holes through the flat bar. Bolt through the flat bar and the coupe rails. Smae for the seats bolt through flat bar and into WRX seats. This allows to use the original mounts with all the components.
Engineers seem to like the fact that the original mounts have been used.

Hope that this helps
