G'day from Australia

Hey everyone,
I think its high time I posted my car here, along with some pictures and a video, and of course specs.
The car is a Nov 1986 build, it has a glass electric sunroof and a trip computer. These came with the car from new.
My father owned the car for 17 years, and when I turned 17, he gave it to me. Since then I have been doing a few small modifications, Greg Gordons intake kit for instance, then I started playing with the handling.
After a year or so, I started looking for more power, originally planning on something just like Julian's GTV6 screaming 2.5L, but then I ended up buying an engine from JJ.
After a long 8 months and lots of money later, I finally have my car back. Nuff talk, time for pictures! Most of you already have seen my exhaust video, so I wont re-post that.
Short Video
Unfortunately I didnt get a graph with torque, but it will come from the next dyno-day. The guy who owns the dyno says that the numbers are 10% below what they really are, so assume 195hp instead of 178hp.
