Been a while since I’ve updated, but finally got a few more goodies installed on the Orca; can’t wait to pick her up on Saturday.

Adds:
RR Racing Motor Mounts
TOMs Super Ram II Street (replaced my K&N oiled)
PPE UEL headers
TOMs rear upper strut brace

Thanks as always to Josh @ Meraki for the headers and brace! Thanks to Danny @ Amplified Autoworks, basically THE MAN for 2UR mods in Florida (drove 4 hours to drop off the car).

Hey man, I'm having some trouble finding Amplified Autoworks online. Can you share some more info about the shop, and where they are? I'm trying to do research ahead of time for when i finally get the chance to install some mods.

Sure thing! BTW, he's got an RR supercharged RC F in Molten Pearl (his personal car) and he's the certified RR Racing installer down here.

Looks good! Do you have an oil leak near the back of the engine? There is some debris on your Figs Bushing if you look closely, that looks like dirt attached to oil. I supposed it could also be dirt attached to the silicone lubrication on the bushing as well. Let us know how you like everything.

No leak; when I installed the bushing, I lubed up that bushing like it was a Thanksgiving Turkey 🤣

Ah cool, one of the FL F Club members, and good friend, lives up there so you guys should definitely hit up some car meets! Her IG is: @ahnubys_ and she's got an RC F. JAX to St. Pete is only about 3 hours away.

Make sure you put the factory brace back on.

Next up on the list is some Advan GT Beyonds in 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +35 in Racing Titanium Black courtesy of Amplified Autosports!




Wheels will be secured with some Yperion Titanium 40MM M12x1.50 all locking lugs (with xylan coated threads).




Stay tuned (see what I did there? &#128556!

Latest updates…

Swapped the OEM battery for an Antigravity Group 24 40aH LiFePO4 battery. This one weighs about 15.6lbs.






Also received my titanium lug nuts from Yperion titanium; they came in as 45mm, which is what I had originally wanted. Unfortunately, still waiting on wheels!

I can safely say I've never lusted after wheel bolts before until I saw these!
