Today (actually yesterday) I had the great opportunity to have a tuning session with our resident tuning extraordinaire, Merlin :D
It was a long drive and an early start with...let's just say 'bleak' weather; but it was certainly worth it!
The drive home was like being a kid on Christmas playing with his new toy ;)
I will most likely do a full write-up on this, but I would just like to say a huge thanks to Dave, his work is unparalleled.

Well, after a lot of going back and fourth about how to brighten up my engine bay, I bit the bullet on Thursday night and did it myself!
It not a professional job, but it was my first time spay painting my own car. I thought it turned out alright. Might need a little touch up today for the engine cover.

I've been pondering aftermarket cat-back exhaust options, and to 'train' me in getting used to a louder exhaust (and for shits and giggles), I took off my existing rear muffler from the rear axle bolts.

I was surprised to see and hear that there's a resonator on the long pipe after the cat - many aftermarket exhausts this piece is just a straight pipe and I hadn't crawled under my car before...
But it's also made me conscious of noise avoidance and keeping the engine revs low while trying to blend in traffic - so perhaps for me having a loud exhaust would translate into better fuel economy for this reason alone.
