No performance gains. Just more sensitive throttle response. So your car pressed at 10% now is accelerating at 25%. If that makes sense.

Finally got my lug nuts and hubcentric rings last week so was trying to put the new wheels on today after work but hubcentric rings are wrong size (too thick) so stock wheels stay on for now





Looks like I was accidentally sent 73(OD)/60.1(ID) when I need 67.1/60.1. Will have to ping RavSpec again. They have been good about stuff so far so I am sure they will get them to me quick

Any news on when the Amuse exhaust will come in? Any hp/torque figures?

No updates yet. It was ordered the beginning of March so it won't arrive until summer most likely.

As for hp/tq numbers, I don't have any but it will be roughly the same across the board for all cat-backs with standard mufflers. Just lighter weight with the Titan I can't wait, though...just have to be patient

I don't know how you're containing yourself! Haha, I heard the Amuse Titan exhaust on the RCF and it's probably up there with Novel on best sounding systems (albeit I only heard via clips).

I'm waiting probably till 10K miles before I do any performance mods. I'm already at 3.5 K in two months so, i'm sure i'll get there in no time!

Clips just don't do the exhausts justice...you have to hear it in person to really hear/experience it I order a bunch of parts in advance b/c most are custom from Japan and take a while to get here.

I have just over 1k miles on my car that I have had since Dec...albeit, I did have it in the shop for over a month for paint protection (issues with getting/installing the clearplex on front windshield that still am dealing with). I had planned to supplement the mileage with my other 2 cars with putting most of the mileage on my GS (which is in the shop for paint protection now so been driving the RC F more..haha).

Slowly getting my parts in to install

What paint protection film did you use? What area did you wrap? I'm actually planning on wrapping in either Xpel Ultimate or Clearguard Nano SR. If XPEL Ultimate, they have an actual XPEL installation center; but with ClearGuard Nano, i'd get it done at a shop in Houston.

I definitely want to wrap the full front hood, bumper, front fenders, and mirrors. I'm considering rocker panel, doors, and rear fenders too. Xpel quoted $3,900 plus tax for install. Still awaiting second quote from other shop in Houston.

I got xpel on the whole front of car, hood, front quarter panels, side mirrors, doors, door handles, a-pillars, partial roof, side sills/rocker panels. Then opticoat over the whole car windows and wheels...except the front windshield (still waiting on clearplex film). I should have done the whole car in xpel, though. It isn't cheap but worth its weight in gold for protection and ease of cleaning.

Nice lugs! I got the same brand but different style along with a lock set.

Damn that's a nice gash in the tire, at least you are safe though. I got the muteki SR35 and it came with a lock set. You are going to love the apexi controller.

So I saved 5.4lbs per front wheel-tire combo and 2lbs per rear wheel-tire combo. Not sure about the height and width of new front tire...might go wider tire like 265/30/20 to add some height and width.

The shot above is on a slight incline...will take better pics later
