RR-Racing is sending me a 2016 ECU to verify everything works with the ECU swap. If this works out we'll be moving forward with supercharging.
Talked to Rafi on the phone about an hour ago and coilovers are being assembled today and should ship out today or tomorrow.

looking forward to your updates once all put together- awesome build!
Not sure if it's mentioned or not but one can now tune updated/facelifted RCFs... There was a post on FB. Loi can do it. They have already tuned a 2020 Track edition and what not. That way there is no need to lose any features by swapping out to an older ECU from previous years.
Something to check out.

They indicated the following:
The only way as of right now will be to swap the ECU. We have done it numerous times without issue. Then, we will be able to tune it or send you the remote device. You also get to hang on to your stock ECU in the event you return the car back to stock. As far as the VF Tuner, even if they can successfully unlock your ECU, you still need to have access to all of the files necessary to tune for the S/C. These may be different than tuning a regular bolt on car which is where their experience is. There's not much evidence to support any of this can happen with VF Tuner.

It may still work, or may still work with the sequence that's been posted here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...h-control.html
It also may not work at all!

Those wheels are my favorite JDM classic. I think the grey is perfect for your paint. Are you running 295 square?
