No chance, it will be priced same and a lot of people will probably pass on it!

The actual shift points sometimes need to be tweaked, so in this case, whoever this someone is simply needs to email us and let us know what the actual shift points are, and we can easily send a revision to address that.

Yes, the 350 kit will cost much less, not even close in pricing compared to the RCF kit.

Can someone clear up the shifting?
Will it shift itself at the higher redline or will it bounce off the limiter in manual mode?
In D it'll shift at the normal shift points?

In D the car shifts fine.. When I'm in M Mode I have full control over the shifts. I took the car to the redline a couple times (7200 rpm) and it didnt shift. It bounced off it, Mind you I was already at 180kms (112mph) in 3rd gear..

We are completing our road and dyno testing soon, and then ramping up to really abusing the car at the track. We will post more info in August, once we can define an official release date.

thanks,

I really can't wait

Update us with some pictures

I want to see how it looks

Just about to jump the gun on this for my IS300 but a little hesitant as my car is still under warranty. Is the ECU tune easily detectable (ie does it show on a log somewhere)? Or is it only if an in-depth analysis is done and they notice something different like the RPM restriction removal?

I'm pretty sure I've read around on the forums that it's easy to detect if the ECU has been tampered with. This is going to become an issue only if something relating to the ECU tune breaks, so if you have any issues with the engine itself... you may be in trouble.

Does anyone have a 2017 is300 with the RR Racing tune? I was very close to leasing one over the weekend but wasn't thrilled with the lack of top end power that Lexus choked off for this model.

The only way I know of is to send ecu out or go to rr racing and the can tune on dyno the hand held dimsport will not link up to 17

You are asking the wrong question. The 2017 is300 has the same engine as the 2016.
Just ask if anyone with the is300 or rc300 has the tune

And yes. Many people do. They've came back and said the car pulls and drives faster than the is350 now.

Good luck with your new car purchase

I'm fairly certain I'm not asking the wrong question. I'm not concerned about the engine, I'm concerned about the ECU being compatible with RR's handheld. Many have stated they needed to send their ECU to RR which I cannot do since I commute to work daily. I could drive there since I'm in North NJ, but was hoping to avoid that since I would buy the tune first, then potentially a catback, and then a header in the future. I want to avoid multiple trips to RR's location so I was interested in whether anyone here had successfully used the handheld tuner for a 2017 ECU.

The Hand Held DimsSport will not work with the 17 I have one collecting dust in my drawer...
