Im just havent the slight knock mapped out as I dont like it, and the idle improved a bit (due to lumpy cams) Also having some negative timing added so on overrun I will possibly get some pops and bangs

I was listening to screamer pipes yesterday but they sound $hite in my opinion.

yes your paint will be super slick after waxing so washing is easy

rinse
then 2 bucket wash
use a open ended hoze pipe to do the final rinse (as it sheets the water off making the car almost dry)

then a few light sprays of the blackfire gloss spray (this helps stop drying marks and adds more protection

use a decent drying towel like a waffle weave or a megs super towel thingy called a water magnet I think)

there like a 50 x better chamos leather and dont scratch

yes that spray is like a quick detailing spray that I was on about that aids drying but with the added bonus of a tiny amount of protection

use it evey time you go to dry the car just a fine mist each panel then dry like you normally do

lol clay should be one of the first steps - a bit late now

Jay get the evo booked on the vally track day PM me for details if your interested as its cheap
