After 3 1/2 months the car is ready for a run-in tune.

I'm getting the car towed in the morning to the tuner where he will get the cold started sorted and do the first 100km on the dyno

besides a oil leak issue everything went well.

engine feels strong, drives very smooth, slight lope on the cams but idles quite well considering.

as far as a run in tune goes not much else to say really.

didnt charge the camera batteries so only got these boring pics lol.

evl_132: Thanks Adrian. I'm finding it hard to take a decent picture that shows what the engine bay colour is like in person. I think I need the right lighting.

Lumix: Thanks man! The wheels are petty old-school and I'll be passing them onto my brother soon .

As Kameleon pointed out below I have a oil leak that Ian will be attending to soon. I'm also looking forward to getting the power tune done too.

Vinnny: Thanks man. It has been a work in progress. The next stage of upgrades will be suspension and braking related.

kameleon: Thanks for your help, the pictures and the power eating session today man [88]. The pictures turned out good considering is was raining!

surok: Thanks. I'll have some new exterior pictures up soon. It really needs a clean at the moment!

greddy_es: Thanks Adrian. I initially planned for the power tune to be done next Monday, but it'll be delayed until possibly Monday week. It all depends as to how soon I hit the magical 1000km mark.

ToyMota: Thanks man. Yes the run-in period is a killer! I have around 860 kilometres to go [V], as I drove around for a bit this evening.

I got the run-in tune done by e-tuner which operates out of RE Customs.
