Does it make a huge difference turning it off?

I mean now I've been driving it a bit more and gotten a feel for the car, it doesnt kick in as often any more.

I'm sure unlike some cars when its off its really off but remember this turns of the ASC so you could loose control if you swerve to miss something, its why it defaults to on when you next start the car.

Maybe you need to be a little lighter with the right foot?

I get ya, to be fair I mostly drive in the city anyway.

I think I made it sound like I'm a bit of a lead foot. haha

Lots of forums on this but here's a photo of how I did mine. Strut bar is a Whiteline.

How much of the front needs to be cut?

I've got my RA snorkel on top of the plastic and it works fine, although I can't get the 2nd plastic tab thing in, but its not like its gonna go anyplace, especially with the bonnet closed.

Used to have a1939 Chev: Sloper years ago, Didn't have much cash so ran on well worn tyers.
Going to work in the morning, pretty well road to myself, so on wet days used to have a bit of fun
give the steering wheel a bit of a tweak and sing a waltz to the gentle sway from side to side of the car.
Crazy Well I was young and ? at the time! but the car was completely predictable and controllable at 60kph (30mph)
on a straight road that I had to myself. Paddocks either side. :)

Mate that yellow looks dope. Did you paint it yourself?

Wouldnt mind colour matching with the outside of my car I think picking out some blue would look just as awesome.

Yep painted that myself, prep is the key and use good paint. I used the heat resistant brake caliper paint, not that those parts should get that hot, also painted the panel hiding the spake plug leads and since this photo I used some gloss black and a tiny brush to do the MIVEC. And removed the strut bar to paint it, details on my VRX thread listed below.
