I took car on the track last week, they have a 'breakfast and laps' event here every month $50 at highlands track Cromwell. It is billed as a "tour of the track" but we got up to around 160+kmh, got to really test the car for 2 laps. Super happy with how she handled and kept up with some quicker cars. I did try to film but my camera mount failed me, vibrated the power button and turned off 
.
I will defiantly go again so stay tuned.
After doing the swaybar and seeing the dirty looking exhaust, felt I could make it look a bit better, grabbed some cleaning products and polishes and used 000 mesh. Was pretty hard work, but came up pretty nice. Really want to do mid pipe but PITA to get to with just jack stands, one day.
Now gotta do the right side
Scored a Levorg STI speedo from Be-forward that had 1500km more than my current milage, had a scratch on the plastic cover so negotiated with seller and got a little bit off. I just swapped my current cover with the the STI one and no scratch
Have been waiting to install when milage became close or even exactly the same. I caved and installed today, was a few hundred km more, but close enough.
Bit of an indulgence, the only difference is the blue lights are now red and it has a glowing STI log on the Rev gauge. I was kind of hoping for a different animation or welcome screen but same as the GTS.
My interior now is all matchy red, will put a night photo up when I get a chance.
Probably should have just saved on all these parts and got an STI but fun researching / installing parts
