Will just run it as it is for the first year. It's stage 2 at the moment at about 270bhp (will get it on the RR soon) so i'm happy with that for now, will get the gearbox/diff etc. fitted then i'll think about the engine next year.

Update ...
Fitted the front bushes last weekend. First time i've used a press and they came out easy 
Painted up the arms and fitted the bushes and new bottom ball joints...
No pics of everything fitted though. I'll get a picture of the whole underside when it gets MOT'd and is up on the ramps.
Cleaned up the front ARB and fitted the bushes in that too, will probably fit that this weekend as it's only a 10min job.
Quaife LSD arrived too Once i've got an F20 speedo ring (part number?) it can be fitted in the F28.
Thanks for watching...

Cheers guys, new dials are touch and go. Look much better at night (see the visual performance website for nightime pics), would prefer them to be black though tbh.

Update
Spent all Sunday fitting brand new copper brake lines and fittings.
The car still had green coated steel ones (from new) and most were siezed and kept snapping, brilliant.
All sorted now though, with braided lines front and back. Will finish bleeding them tonight with 5.1 and take some quick pics if I remember.

Well, today was the day it passed it's MOT. 
Took it to the garage early hours of the morning after doing a final bit of welding and undersealing last night.
Few pics from throughout the day...
On the trailer back home
Next up is to insure it, tax it and change the plates. Then take it to the RR to get the fueling and boost set up as it's overfueling like a barsteward and spluttering on choke atm.
Then whats left to do...
gearbox/diff/shafts
service
waterpump
new boot
speakers
Should be near enough finished then

Thanks..
Sorted the 'running like a bag of shit' problem. Took the plugs out and all of them were black, and two where wet with fuel.
Dizzy cap off to find it was fudged. New dizzy cap, rotar arm and some new plugs and its running sweet again

Love it, mega clean example too by the looks of things - fair play mate.
How did it get through MOT with no plates though?

Cheers, it's getting there now. Suprising how a quick clean and bit of gel on the bumpers/tyres makes a difference!
Had the private plates there off the 106, just hadn't drilled new holes for them to fit, MOT tester is a friend.
Got to get the plates changed over this week.
