Thanks all for the positive replies.

No idea how many hours I've spent on the build, probably...many

The biggest pain I've had IVA wise has been emissions. In my build thread I've mentioned this is a phase 3 engine with 4 lambda sensors, originally I was hoping to use just the 2 pre cat sensors but found the lambda reading would drift and not settle to a steady reading. Fitted the secondary lambdas and the reading was steady but still slightly high at 1.04 (actually failed first IVA a couple of weeks back on emissions).

Spoke to an Alfa tuner who advised me to change the MAF, which I did, I also sealed around the silencer end caps with exhaust paste and at the test today the emissions were spot on, lambda was 1.007

Everything else was absolutely fine, which is a testament to the quality of the kit.

Cheers all, think I should be able to get it registered for Stoneleigh, I'm sure even DVLA should be able to process the paperwork in 8 weeks!
Now time for a couple of celebratory beers!
