corradoMR2's FPursuit Build Thread
 

I wanted so much to keep FPursuit stock thinking I couldn't possibly improve on the pinnacle of Lexus performance. Well, as many have demonstrated, the exhaust is a little on the quiet side and I could not agree more. :sleep:

So as a first official mod, FPursuit just got a little louder thanks to a res-delete. :p :driving:
Pics for now, before/after video to come. :thumbup:

Nice way to get it started.

Love the color too.

You know you just opened the floodgates ;)

Uh oh, your first mod will lead to many more.. Good luck, I'll be making a thread on the vendor section of almost everything available for the RCF!!

Video - Revving Before and After Res-Delete
 

Haha... I know the bug folks! :D

So as promised, here's the video.

Sounds great so far. You're mods are always tasteful and I'm glad you picked up an RC-F. I can't wait to see whats next.

Thanks. I like to make changes but try to stay as close to an OEM look as possible. :thumbup:

Forget OEM and come to the dark side... 😈

Pinnacle of Lexus performance would be the LFA. Don't get me wrong, the RCF is a great car (why I own one ;) ) but there are still areas that can be improved on.

Floodgate is already open...it is just a matter of time now ;)

Here's another short video I put together - you can hear the sound difference before and after the res-delete , though hardly and difference when the car is accelerating towards you.

Here's a video of how the resonator delete sounds inside the cabin with windows up and down :thumbup:

Note: Car is either in Normal or Sport S (but not S+)

Very nice Corrado! Dang I must be living in the wrong country if you can afford that big a$$ of a house, a 3IS, an NX, and now RCF? Need to cash in my assets and move to CA!!

Hey CorradoMR2, I too like the OEM look but the res delete helps the exhaust note that I find to be too 'polite' sometimes. Not that the Infrared paint doesn't draw enough attention....

Well, you get used to eating KD and canned soup :p

Thanks. BTW. Infrared is a superb deep metallic red that gets its stares, but USB is still my favorite color. :thumbup:

I love the premium yet sporty look of the hand-polished BBS-manufactured 20-spoke Lexus OEM wheels so (for now) I don't want to get aftermarket ones. Problem is, they're too tucked in. :thumbdn:

So spacers I got. After much research, I'm playing it safe with (pricey but) top quality made-in-Japan Eight Prince and Project Kics. :thumbup:

Front: 15mm Eight Prince
Rear: 11mm Project Kics
