Well long time no post but nothing has really changed with the SS, still under 70000 km!! Just.
The diffuser I had fitted previously had started to sag as you either cut the tabs on the diffuser or modify the bar so I chose the diffuser option.
Anyway long story short, bought a new diffuser and a GXP rear bar as that is what they fit from factory, had it painted and what do you know the new diffuser fits perfectly!
Happy days!

Well the Truetrac is in and I can only confirm that there are no noises or bangs in normal driving but I haven’t given it any stick yet to see the difference in “straight”ish line performance.

Yep. Still goes “straight” ish but a bit less “ish”. Feels good in there, no weirdness present.

I kinda forgot about this change that I had done to the interior. Got all all the pillar trims and the visors swapped for the fabric covered ones also means adjustable height belts which is a nice touch and I reckon it makes a huge difference when you are sitting in there.

Diff gears anyone? Booked in for a set of 3:45’s in a couple of weeks.
Already booked in for a retune and calibration early next year unless someone cancels a job and then I can sneak in before Xmas.

Big sad. Went to have a look at my brakes because it had been a long time, pulled them out of the box and was confronted with a horrific sight!!!
