Thanks @b_hoves and @Testing386 
Hereās the finished car!
Thanks to @applegeek897 for the photos from WTAC.
Iām absolutely stoked with the result. And Iām super proud of accomplishing such a massive task.
But it doesnāt stop there. I still have a new set of wheels in the garage waiting to go on, once the camber axle arrives, theyāll be going on ASAP.
Also I have also been looking at a new seat. I still have the Bride Ergo 1 and itās still a fantastic seat. But Iād like to sit a bit lower now and also the seat is a big too big for my body.
So Iāve been looking at some Bride fixed back buckets.
Currently looking at either the Illest or the Vertex.
I would definitely try having a seat in them first if possible. I know when I drive our copen I tend to slouch back a fair bit. Not like my mrs who I think has the seat like she gonna headbutt the steering wheel. I get worried about fixed back on street car for comfort factor

Yeah Iāve already tried sitting in them @evilhighway
I like the way they feel. And I always like to have my back rest pretty straigt anyway with a very very slight slouch. I have no issues with running them, I think Iāll be pretty comfy hahah.
Iāve also got a steering wheel quick release on the way, to make it easier to gwt in and out of the car for when I get the new seat.

good thinking with steering wheel. can be a challenge getting in and out sometimes with stock setup.

Thanks @evilhighway
The quick release arrived today! 
Iām so stoked!
So I ordered the THIN version from NRG. Because I have a standard size hub. Otherwise, if I got the standard size Quick Release. It would have been way too close for comfort.
Thereās no slop/freeplay whatsoever. And it brings the wheel closer by 1.75 inches. Which I found out is now Ideal for me. I also like the added benefit of security, for when I would have to leave the car out on the street.

AHAHAHAHA! Weāre not purists over here! 
. It goes pretty good! More torquey than fast, if you get what I mean. When I raced it at the track with the precious owner, my Copen can JUST keep up with it haha, it pulls away slowly
wow really I thought it would have just pulled away no probs. that is really surprising

Thatās what I thought too. Haha but when I raced a completely stock copen from an 80 roll, mine easily pulled away hahah. And also have raced an EK civic, D16 non vtec and pulled away from a 20 roll. 
So I guess the Wagon R is pretty quick if raced with other small cars.

UPDATE 27/11/18
Today I received a part I bought from Japan. What did I buy you might ask. 
I thought Iād start giving the engine bay some attention and bought a carbon cooling panel
For those that might ask who I used to order thisā¦ I used Jesse Streeter. I was skeptical at first even tho I know a lot of people that have bought stuff through them. They were easy to speak to and the transaction went smooth. I can definitely recommend them and I will go use them again. 
Anyways hereās the box it came in.
Inside the box, the part was well protected with a lot more cardboard and a lot of Japanese newspapers.
Once I got to the part, it was covered in bubble wrap and a thin layer of paper.
Inside all the packaging is this beautiful piece of carbon. 
Now I was super eager to install it, but when I put it up against the Rad/Condenser. It didnāt fit.
It doesnāt clear the condenser bracket so it could be mounted on the Radiatorā¦
*now I know why the Ad said for race use only. AHAHAHA. *
I will need to cut the part to clear the condenser bracket. 
Hereās a photo of a DSport one. This is how I thought it was gonna fit. I couldāve bought this one, but the anodized aluminum will just fade off overtime plus the carbon looks sexier IMO. 
Thanks for viewing Stay tuned for more progress on this part.

Iāve been using Jesse Streeter for about 5 years and is the only person Iāll use for getting stuff from japan. Great communication and always helpful.
The cooling panel look great. Hopefully you can get it fitted without too many hassles
