the tuning should be a piece of cake, it usually is. It's the trouble shooting that tends to be the PITA

its looking really really nice! keep it up! no top angle shot? i wanna see how the turbo looks in the bay.
if you're still having problems with your axle nut and you have a floor jack, you can loosen the axle nut easily. get the bars from the floor jack (mine came with 2 that you can connect together) and use those as breaker bars. works great and because they're like 4 feet long connected, you can a lot of torque on it.
If the axel nut is really stuck I have done a couple things in the past.
first use lube, impact gun and an impact socket. Sometimes just pounding on it for 10 or 20 minutes will do it. If not use a little heat and the impact gun.
last resort (only done this once but it worked well)-- get a diegrinder w/ a cutoff wheel and slit the nut across one side just missing the axel. Once you are 80% of the way through wrench on it and it should come off very easily. of course you will neeed a new nut though. Just make sure you don't knick the hub too bad (thats why you can only get about 80 of the way through)
hope this helps. car looks, um, way faster than mine
