Hey FR500GT, nice mods man. I just got my RC not too long ago and can't wait to start mods myself. Just had a couple quick questions: for the wheel spacers, did you order the set from b2autodesign? and did the set have everything needed included? Thanks!

Yes I did! 15mm front with 20mm rear and the install is pretty straight forward. Just make sure you torque them down to the correct specs.

I'm bewildered a bit, I have a CAI and I just installed the throttle controller. yeah it makes 'some' difference but this thing won't even remotely spin the wheels off the line with full traction control off. If you even remotely try to touch the brakes the get it spinning, it cuts in with errors. I am hugely frustrated with this car.

1. Are you in the Red "Hi Throttle" Mode?

2. When you say "full traction control off", that means you held it down for 3 seconds and the TCD light is on the dash right?

3.When you touch the brakes, "what" cuts in with errors?

Hopefully this will help since I don't know why you would have any issue if #1 and #2 are done correctly. By now I am able to throw the car around to do whatever I like.

Hmm, where are you located? I have heard that different countries have different options available for the RC. It's possible that they have different programming features I guess..

The lease takeover was taking too long so I'm keeping the car. Probably better off anyways. With that being said, I'm going to do the mods that I was planning on doing to the RCF. LFA center exhaust, new wheels/tires, F1 paddles, etc. Time to switch things up!

Yeah I have a set of 255/285 Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I'm ready to use. Going to order my wheels tomorrow.

Just placed my order from B2autodesigns and they should be here next week. I went with the same wheels I had on my last Saleen: Niche Essen M147's.

If you have the RCF & this is Happening you need to take it to the shop. If i have mine in Sport+ & have the Apexi in the Red Mode i can't hardly leave from a red light without it jumping & spinning the tires It makes a BIG Difference when you have Both on, my car in 1st or 2nd gear is so jumpy just Waitin' to Pounce I LOVE IT I can also now get the car to chirp the tires just shifting to 2nd gear & i'm Not talking about having to Really Get on it to do it.

Keep in mind that this is on a RC350 F-Sport, not an RCF Johnny BUT I can still spin my wheels through first without a problem.
