No worries thanks, I’ll have a look. Also What brand pedal box did you use?

I got the pedal box from Paul Dunstan on this forum, I highly recommend them had no issues with it.

I got one of his too but we had to mod the throttle pedal.  Have you got a pic of it installed?

We just had to bend it slightly to make sure we were getting 100% open throttle.

Thanks for the positive feedback 
I'm assuming the bending of the pedal was required regardless of the pedal box as the accelerator was untouched from the original?

Nothing wrong with the pedal box it self, just when we were calibrating the TPS and with the throttlebody we're using we were getting 80% throttle, so in order for it to show 100% and for the throttle blade to open all the way it needed to be bent slightly.

Thanks for the info but I’ve pm’d Paul and doesn’t make them any more, so if anyone can recommend a brand that fits and works well that would be great.
Thanks

Long time between posts.
 
Had the car out last November at the dragstrip and ran a 10.6@128mph with plenty left to go.
 
Enjoy the vid.

Good stuff mate, that's proper rapid for a more door !
Thought about weight reduction, like strip interior out, plastic windows without cranking mechanisms , fiberglass panels etc.
With those speeds, a front spoiler would definitely help with keeping the car stable and reduce lift at 100+ mph.
