Nothing to exciting yet just gave her a quick bath and wiped down the engine bay. Probably go for cruise down the coast later after I finish my honey do list.

Can I ask what your process for wiping down the engine bay is? Also which products you use?

It’s so new and fresh I basically just used a damp rag. You can really also just use vinyl /rubber conditioner of your choice after a few months and if needed. For any painted parts I just use my car wax.
Meguiars is one of my go to’s ??

After owning the car for several months, I found that the stock exhaust was too quiet for my liking. I opted to remove the front small resonator and replace it with 304 piping. The car now produces an incredible sound with the valve open all the time. Additionally, it's convenient that we can revert the valve to its stock position, resulting in a much quieter exhaust in comfort mode. I experience zero drone when cruising on the highway.

Added some Tuxmat floor mats today. What a great fit and excellent coverage. I highly recommend them. I really didn’t need that much protection since I live in So Cal but it’ll be much easier to vacuum up the sand after going to the beach.

Sounds pretty good. What size piping do you use to slip over the stock pipe (inside diameter)?

Found coolant on my garage floor. Leaking from expansion tank. Long term will probably end up with a Mishimoto.

Are expansion tanks in stock at dealers now? Some of the older threads indicate there was a back order.
