Well i have a new (secondhand!) diff on the way. Got onto one out of a ve gts which has only done 20000 klms of highway running. Interesting to see how the 3.27 goes, was tossing up between that or the 3.45 but i think this will suit me better. Hopefully will get here before the weekend!

Early thoughts? Excellent!
Shifting is very good, car feels more responsive down low and wants to get going which is what i was after. :)

sweet ride mate, looks great with the ssv rims, I reckon some ssv taillights would set that off nicely.
you noticing much difference in fuel use with the new diff?

Cheers mate, not sure about the tailights, pretty happy with the look atm.
Haven't noticed any difference really but yet to take it on a trip so time will tell.
