Aww, you missed me! Shucks. 
Sorry guys - mucho on the plate lately and no time to forum surf.
Fingers crossed, car was finished yesterday and is getting tuned and dynoed today (we have a 'before' from the same dyno).
Here's some pics, courtesy of Danny. Will be collecting the car tomorrow.

That was the plan but I'm told by Danny's bloke Rhys (ex-5 years working in a Mazda dealership service dept) that they won't fit - just a little too tall.
So, because the older coils were showing some arcing damage, I sent up my spare new set, which have been fitted instead.
Danny and Rhys are toying with locating the BHR set remotely, so I'll hang onto the kit for the time being. If that doesn't work, I'll be looking for a buyer...

An oil leak is getting sorted as we speak, so hopefully dyno still happens today. Can't say enough about Danny's regular communication and his team's dedication to making it happen. Very pleased with the customer focus.

Thanks Ash.
Yep, flying up tomorrow morning. Just heard from Danny again 5 mins ago. All issues sorted and the car is heading to the dyno now.
Spending the weekend on the Goldie and then a lazy 1000kms or so driving her home on Monday/Tuesday. Will be taking it very carefully though and looking for fluid leaks, etc.
Starting to allow myself to get just a lil excited.

Thanks guys.
Some ECU issues overnight and this morning but just had my first short drive back to Danny's workshop from the dyno. Feels very strong all across the rev range but you especially notice it in the low-mid range. Torque is on tap as soon as you put your foot down - no lag at all. Very progressive and smooth power delivery. Feels like it's just got a bigger capacity rotary engine. And that S/C whine gets addictive alright!
Very impressed so far.
Will post up dyno results, etc when I get a chance next week. Have a long interstate drive ahead of me first.

WOW... Its finally happening!
Have been out of it a long time and thought I would pop back in to see how your Hymee was going. Very excited for you Dave.
I shall try and stay around to hear your thoughts and impressions.
