    Looks great mate, havig it on the road running is an achievement in itself, I'm sure you'll get the last niggling issues done soon.

    VXR looks really tidy, great colour too in Black.

    Brother has a Nurburgring edition.

    I sorted out the threaded hub with a helicoil so I now have 4 tight wheel bolts haha.
    Also chopped off the lug on the gear stick so I can now get 5th but it's hit and miss, so I still need to do some adjusting, I'm thinking if I push the lever down and all the way to left when adjusting then it will give me the extra travel to get 5th.

    Also took it for a test drive and its uncontrollable when you give it some, throws the car all over the road and just spins up.
    Need to try work out how I'm going to stop this torque steer

    As said before maybe try equal length shaft to reduce some of the torque steer. Have you checked for wear in the linkage ?

    Power steering would help slightly with the torque steer but quite a job to get it fitted so probs won?t be best route. Are you on a poly bushed front end? Also what diff are you running?

    What geo did you go for in the end? Specifically camber and toe.
