Sounds good mate. I hope you post the changes, it'll be good to see.

I noticed that it was a bit thirstier to start with but I think that may have been because I was enjoying myself too much

On my routes, I've found no difference in the fuel consumption gauge from before. I did some research before getting the tune, and I heard that in some cases economy improves because it's so safetuned at the factory.

Basically what I've heard, was just curious to see if there would be any improvements on the economy using a modified tune using the stock downpipe.
Doesn't really matter that much any how as for the power/torque output, the economy isn't too bad!

ah. a fellow MY11! i got my stock wheels painted black not long ago too. Have to say they look a lot better than the normal color.

keeping it clean it another thing though if you are as OCD as me with keeping the wheels clean, then might require some effort. if not, just leave it and you'll have 'matte black' after a few weeks

Yeah, I think they look much better. I think they look good if the car is black, but I didn't think they looked great on mine.

Hahaha, I'll keep that in mind. I can be a bit OCD as well. Fortunately, I don't hate the matte black look.

Cheers for the info Flam,

Could you PM me details on your tune, specifically time involved, costs etc. Or post on here if you don't mind.

Cheers
