Haha no, we've already swapped back now. He needed stock rims/tyres to pass compliance/import exam so we did the swap until that was over.
Exhaust pics, not much to see really...but I'll try and get something for you.

He's right! The drivetrain is bulletproof, but this was bound to happen - I'm going an Exedy of some sort which should hold up to what I have planned down the line.

Haha, yeah, thats the way to go. Just make sure to invest in the clutch more than the ecu and engine, because you can drive with less power, but you can't drive without a clutch. Those wheels are veeeeeeeery nice, btw. You're not considering getting the BBS wheels that came with the MR (atleast they did in stateside)?
Those would suit your car to a tee IMO.

The car is looking good.
On the clutch situation my buddy just got this one put on his car and it is insanely stiff but will hold the potential that comes with a GT37R

I had the car on the dyno (rolling road as some of you call it) on Thursday night for an ECU tune.
Some issues with boost meant figures were "only" 300hp and 420Nm at all 4 wheels - which is FQ400 territory (bit more actually). Only holding 1.7bar from 4000-4700rpm and then dies off to 1.4bar, so there might be the need for an EBC although my tuner says he might have a fix for it next week.
So expect slightly higher numbers (horsepower anyway, peak torque shouldn't change) once this is sorted - will keep you posted.
Goes VERY hard now (we've seen what an FQ400 can do vs Murcielago) and just yesterday I won a motorkhana event in it agianst 9 other mates to take out the prize money. 2nd place was an 06 STi, 1.2sec behind at the end of the days 4 courses, very proud of myself and the car.

300 or 400 hp? An FQ400 produces obviously 400
