Good job Mike to get it this far so soon.
 
Tyre direction wont matter in the dry and in track cars its a good idea to rotate the tyres if not racing in the wet. The Yokohama website has sound good info on this type of stuff.

I rotate my tires for same reason as stuka has mentioned. We don't often race in the wet.

I hope you're going to get those front tyres fitted the correct way around...

The wheels look tough, what are the specs?

I don't think it'll make much difference on the track lol

Well.... just ran car for 150kms, didnt miss a beat, parked at work, a quick check / inspection, no leaks... all looks good so far. 
 
Even though its running in, man the throttle response is smooth & it does feel like it wants a dam good flooging... hard to resist, but I will.

That's pretty similar to my set up but mine don't look as chunky. What tires are you running?

Update:
 
Well after an eventful MTC 2016, car ran faultless for the entire 3 days.
 
Fortunately, I too have seen the light being the mighty famous 2gr conversion, thanks to Peter for handing over his keys to his 2gr mr2.  After only a few laps I was sold!
Now I'm in the process of putting this little 3sge engine & gearbox up for sale, to help fund for its new heartbeat.. 2GR :-)))
 
Keep an eye on this build.
