great build the electronics integration is very impressive
the one thing i would suggest is to start looking for a rear end solution
the r-160 lsd won't last.. I have personally stripped the spider gears in one at 250 hp in an AWD car. If those don't blow, that the accompanying r160 axles will snap
take a look at this build thread

he re did the rear sub frame and used an R200 (supra) with a custom rear subframe and custom axles($$)
