^^^ Not much. We just had a baby. I need to replace a slightly leaking head gasket (oil). I also have a whiteline roll-center kit to install. Then put the strain gauges on and start logging downforce and tuning the aero. That will be it for this year. I wanted to build a cage, but there just isn't time.
I'm hoping to have a mellow year and just be able to hit the track alot. Then again I said that last year and ended up working on the car all season. But I've got it close to sorted now.
...Well, if things go good I may add active control to the rear wing.

Haha, updates - I started storing more things on top of the car!
I never followed through with data logging downforce or making a bunch of adjustments to the wing. It ended up that the car was really well balanced with the addition of the wing and maintaining the 5" splitter; so I just drove the car. I put three good seasons of track days on the aero setup without issue. It saw top speeds of around 150 MPH.
The past couple years I've been distracted with other projects, 3 kids, and a few issues that need work on the car and thus no track days.
Here was some video from way back when, it includes some rear facing of the wing.
