I'm a few days behind on the updates:
- Donk is in
- Bumpers are on
- Stereo is in
- Interior is pretty much done
- Cult Werks splitter has arrived and is on
- Basic suspension geo being sorted this week and new glass going in
- Off to dyno tuning next week!

Absolutely perfect. No criticisms here, just awe!
My current colour scheme is Marine Blue (35v) with red calipers and highlights. Green is my favourite colour and even my freelance company logo is a very similair grey/ green combo. One day I'll change the red to green- should look pretty cool against the marine blue

JV911 - congrats on the build!!
Why did you decide to go with cats? Is it required by law in Sydney?
I have a very similar build, with the Rothsport plenum (the metal one) and the Fabspeed header which I plan to connect to a GT3 muffler (currently same muffler as you)... I just can't decide on cats. The car is so smooth with this set-up, I want it to be 100% street friendly and kill the gas smell on start-up. On the other hand, I dont want to kill the top-end power...
Decisions decions...

Yes they are required by law (risk fines and a defect notice if you don't have them) and more "polar bear friendly"
Happy to give up a couple of hp at the top end as we are not chasing outright power. It's designed with a nice flat torque curve in mind.

I do have all black rennline pedals and floor boards to go in, well at least for the driver's side - rennline don't make passenger side boards for RHD cars. Not sure what we're going to do yet, either get something fabricated or go without

Looking like a car again!
Waiting on new (genuine) seals for rear quarter windows as the ones in the sierra madre kit didn't fit properly. Also have to get some new tail pipes fabricated as the fabspeed ones are a good 10cm (4in) too short. Actually it took a bit of faffing around to get the exhaust system to fit and the guys at fabspeed were not helpful in the slightest...they tried to tell us we were using aftermarket tinware which we weren't!
