Got the Hi Specs & Superleggeras on !!!!
Have fitted my 24mm rear anti-roll bar, and I have to say ...............
IT'S AWESOME!! My set-up is as follows:
Bilstein Group N
GMC 40mm springs
Powerflex all round
Braided hoses
Hi Spec 4 Pots
Toyo T1-R's
and IMO the car feels perfect on the road!! The Hi Specs have sooooo much power, even though they've not bedded in yet, and the suspension just feels so planted and in control!!! Am dead happy!!!!
Also, I took my engine loom out, and re-wrapped sections with BMW loom tape just to give it a bit of protection, and give me a chance to re-thread an alternator cable through. I found that some of my crank position wires were a bit ragged, so I re-soldered them and wrapped them up - I have now upped my rev limit (as before the Predator would lose crank signal at around 6800rpm - having sorted these wires it sails perfectly upto the 7500rpm limit!!!! The power and noise from 6000-7500 is mental!!!
Am now saving for some dyno time ot get the ignition side of the map perfected, and see what power it's putting out. Also, have bought a vt* driveshaft ready to fit my S2 gearbox to spice things up even further!!!!

Also, got them fitted with 306 gti-6 discs
The stupily light Superleggeras should help to counter the weight of the discs.

Good work chap.
You could have taken a moment to wash the wheels... 
From the last pick, the car looks like you're all set to go off-road?

I got lazy with the wheels!! Need to really take them off and get some sealer on them to make washing them in the future easier!!
Yeh I had just had it jacked up so looks high!!
Also, since fitting the group n's with the gmc springs it does sit high, but handles great and means I don't catch the brace and front bumper on everything!!!!

I'm going to save up some money and then look at the costs I involved. I've got some quotes off a couple of places including Sandy Brown so will just see I suppose.
Andys mapping of the fuel is spot on, the afr from datalogging shows it to be ideal - ubderstandably the car needs a dyno to perfect the ignition map.
If it'll cost me £70 an hour to rent a dyno for Andy to tweak it, or say £250+ for Sandy to tweak it (including dyno time+road mapping) then who knows. Will see when I've got money put away.
