I was considering using some phone apps and the such, but in my mind I think it's a little overkill for my usage needs even though it isn't expensive.

Anyways, I recorded a little exhaust clip last night with the tune. Hope everyone enjoys their Friday!

Thanks a lot man

Anyways guys!
So I finally had a chance to test out the 7200 rpm limit with vsc not disabled and low and behold you don't need it disabled. Looks like RR Racing updated their website with that info as well.

Finally took my car out with the tune on my standard local back road. Although it's really nice that 2nd gear goes up to about 100 km/h, I still feel like leaving it in third would be better for medium speed corners since the car still likes to block downshifts. Starting to learn to rev match the car in manual mode with some left foot braking, def makes the downshifts much smoother.

Man, how much were those lug nuts torqued on there and were you using an impact gun to remove them?

Well if my luck couldn't get any worse today, my alternator died ... Luckily i was able to limp it to work. 150k kms and 11 years. Didn't think this would happen to me either. Low battery followed by check vsc, parking brake ,abs, etc as well as power steering failing.

side skirts are just lined up with a friend and self tapping screws. Rear aprons are attached to the included bracket and was attached to the metal piece behind the rear bumper, i can't describe it properly

Would it be possible to get more pictures of the bracket? Mishimoto do not appear to have a kit for Lexus, so I presume it was fabricated. Thanks a lot for the existing picture that shows which hoses to use.

I'll grab a snap of it tomorrow morning. Mishimoto provides a tiny bracket that holds the can and has 4 small holes in it for mounting. It's not a heavy can, so I just used some heavy duty zip ties and it's never fallen off.
