thanks everyone.
alwaysoverkill, the rear straps are connected to a custom rear bar that goes across the rear where the rear lower seatbelt bolts were. so there is no rear seat in the car. I'll try to get some pics later on. the lower straps are floor mounted with massive reinforcement plates.
Zyepher, a roll cage would take away any driveability the car has left. Even now, getting in and out and strapping in is a bit of a chore. If the car ever needed a roll cage, I'd prolly be dead anyways. I trust Honda built in enough structural integrity for my needs.
DumbasSi, it's been done for a while, I just didn't feel like putting up pics
ROBB, I like the susp travel I have now. Plus I don't want to bring the upper control arms too close to the body seam.
Kieran.... no
haha imagine if the cops and the ministry of environment got a whiff of my car 
haha

James, you're not wrong haha
actually I really want a close ratio tranny. 1st gear rips through, then 2nd gear is slow for like 1 second, then it rips it, dunno about 3rd gear cuz at the top of 2nd I'm already going highway speeds. merging onto the highway was never this fun.
<--- want a Y8 tranny or JDM LSD
dazed, yeah it's really something to appreciate. the stopping power is totally awesome, more than one man should ask for. totally reckless and unnecessary.

I've been waiting for pics like these since I joined the club. Very nice looking build.
However, the best part of this thread is the Modifications List...It's like reading one of those dirty letters in Penthouse...but for your car.

Very nice bruno.
Few questions...No BOV?
Is this a hardline for the turbo oil feed coming from the GE oil plate? If so, very impressive. Thats a good spot for the aftermarket oil pressure sender. How do you like the GE oil plate?
Are these hardlines for the coolant? You don't see many people even run coolant through thier turbos....very nice, i can tell you want your investment to last a while, you aren't skimpin on the details.
This is where i would put a BOV, IMO don't get a loud one, it'll kill the sleeper-ness of your car. It may help with the lag you are experiencing in 2nd....when you shift, the turbo still spools and if the throttle is closed that air has nowhere to go but back towards turbo.
Very nice attention to detail and overall nicely done.
