ECU Tune or Upgrade
I don't know much about these and am wondering if people can pipe in with their comments. I see from the forums RR racing has a ECU upgrade but it appears to be for racing only. I use my ISF as a daily driver and therefore wondering if there is one more for street use? If you ever sell the car can it put back to factory settings? Any comments would be appreciated.

I have it and daily my car as well. To my knowledge there's only one tune and it's for street driving. You can put it back to factory settings if you do sell it because it comes with a handheld device with the tune and factory tune i believe. I highly recommend it but can only speak from my experience with full bolt ons. I'm sure it still works well on a stock car though.

The tune is TOTALLY street able. I actually have not tracked my car yet but have full bolt ons including RR's tune and intake. The car runs as smooth as it did when it was stock but when you put foot in it Watch Out!!! If you want to take the IS-F's fun factor up a couple notches, add the bolt ons and a tune. As long as you get the OBDII flasher you can flash the ECU back to stock.

I'm pretty sure I'm the one that commented about the tune. Almost everyone uses the tune for their DD. Awesome tune. Let me know if you want me to ship it internationally.

How much does the rr tune cost? I don't have the headers just yet but wouldn't mind modding in stages to see the changes. If we get the tune without the header and decide to do the header later on, do we have to pay the full price for another tune? Thank you!!
There are threads on this very subject as well. Happy researching

Look in the vendors section under RR-Tune and you'll find a very lengthy thread about the tune from introduction to present
