Thanks All for your kind words and support! rockonsmile
This project could not have happened without the support of the forum.
I am by no means ON THE ROAD yet as a registered vehicle. I am getting a 30 day permit to iron out any issues. I then have to change manifolds and motec programs to a complying setup so that it can then go to the engineer for final assessment. Upon the (hopeully) successful assessment of the 40, an application is made to Vicroads (the motor vehicle certifying bureaucracy here in my part of the world) so that they can issue a VIN for the car. An appointment is made so that they too can inspect the vehicle - therefore it must stay in the complying configuration (no track days in between

) until the inspection is complete. At this point the registration process is over and plates are issued - or you can use your own plates such as the ones on my car.
This whole process can take weeks, engineering maybe 2 to 5 days and Vicroads 2-4 weeks until inspection. If the engineer is not happy, then you make changes prior to going to Vicroads.
Peter D, the black marks will appear in the driveway once I get the 30 day permit next week.....
Cheers and thanks
Bill.
