Its taken me a little while but I finally managed to source a couple shift trim pieces to complete my 6mt sti interior install. I am really happy with the way everything looks and performs. My mods for the car are now done and the plan is to now raise the height a bit, switch over to my 17 x 7 sti rims and get it out to the RAC skidpan for a couple of sundays in July.

RAC was great fun yesterday. Only 9 of us fronted and we got bulk runs on several different configurations over 4 hours. The sound is pretty average on videos because I left the drivers window down. The Foz handles great with DCCDPro running the show with ABS & Traction Control off..plenty of grip achieved and I got pretty good by the end of the day after getting used to the power the TD05-18G produces and the way the 6MT DCCD box performs. Brembos and Project Mu pads worked very well and did not have braking issues at all. I ended up running my 19" rims with S Drives. I did manage to but a couple of flat spots on my S Drive tyres though dohhh. Next time I am going to run and film with the windows up.

You know that you can "limit" the VCD and traction control versus turning it off? It's the green versus yellow setting.

But you can't turn off ABS so I'm interested in how you flat spotted tyres?
