Now even less grip!

My ute has had some work done now to liven it up!
Have had the 3.9 diff installed along with an uprated clutch (big thanks to Neil Johnson and the ferrett)
Have fitted Hsv headers (thanks to behold1) and removed the cats, also treated it to the terraclean!
Totally changed the drive as expected but thankfully in a way that suits me, was always stepping into the unknown with the diff but couldn't be happier, need to pop up and see ringram for a tweak or two to complete the package.
Always going to be difficult dropping from a s/c r8 back to the n/a ute with almost half the bhp but can say I don't miss it so much now, most people go up in power rather than the other way but for me the ute is way more fun and still an every day car, proves to me the bhp is not always the thing to chase!

You are right BHP is only part of equation, the other is pleasure in driving what you haveHave had the 3.9 diff installed along with an uprated clutch (big thanks to Neil Johnson and the ferrett)
