  1. Haha great question, I don't know if I'll ever get used to it - I think the power matches the chassis/ brakes well now (I've done a few mods to the brakes too) in these days of hyper & electric cars with 100% torque at zero rpm, I love the fact that you can get an unexpected surprise and a built up rush when you plant it at 60kmh for example. In my opinion it's crazy and I love it as is. Without sounding like someone from A current affair, Anymore power would just be for track purposes and not usable on the road
  2. hi mate yes confirmed re that, the CEL lights were off and on randomly at which point i just putted around until i uploaded the tune but since the tune its been running perfect Took RR racing about 18hrs to review my map, and send me back their version via email
  3. unboxing at work (products were heavily insulated before i opened box and took pics)
  4. Hi all I'm surprised by the amount of questions and messages I've had since doing this, may as well collate them here for the community to see right? As above the whole kit (Headers, race intake, carbon elbow, oil/seperator, tune) was just installed and uploaded on my car about 24 hours ago and im just getting used to it my upgrade plan was all around doing the mods all at once (including tune),first impressions: turn key, engine light and traction light are on - sound is amazing with varex open, and somewhat subtle and classy with varex closed. these cars will run lean with the cats removed, so a tune is highly suggested, I have just uploaded RR,'s tune (last night), and im still getting used to it. repeat - you should tune your car to match the new mod, especially if you have an intake. suggestions to note: wrap the headers with exhaust wrap (i used 3 x 25 foot rolls) - be careful with the steering rack and remember where it is with regards to the rotation when you put it back together. I wouldnt be hooning around if your engine light is on, as that means its running lean - get a tune - talk to Simon at RR racing, tell him what you have fitted and he will send you a map. car is loud and sharp, revs freely, and all in all i think the engine is thriving from these mods went to a cafe this morning with my brothers, feeling punchy down low which makes manual mode even more relevant as you can plod around in a 5th/6th at low speed with ease - effortless and punchier power - change in power to weight is noticeable pretty much erases the "lag" it had in stock form below 3400rpm - once you go above 3400rpm however - wow wee - haven't found enough road to test the 7200rpm limiter - will be attending a Phillip island track day in Oct - save it till then Just want to give a shout to Simon and Rafi and crew - i was apprehensive about ordering the kit from the other side of the world (Aus) but everything happened smoothly, freight, service, follow up, quality - ive done some cool things to cars over the years, and dealt with a lot of work shops, RR Racing has given me an awesome experience so far - thanks chaps *fine print* i am in no way affiliated with RR racing nor receiving any benefit from posting this, I am just a car guy who did a lot of research on this car and kit as most of you are, especially if you have read this far in the post, happy to help ask or post any questions you have below regarding the kit or tune in Aussie conditions. ** below pic was taken before the intake breather was fitted hence the 2 breather hoses going nowhere on top of throttle body
  5. my upgrade plan was all around doing the mods all at once (including tune), so i never considered keeping the o2 sensors yes went to a cafe this morning with my brothers, feeling punchy down low which makes manual mode even more relevant as you can plod around in a 5th/6th at low speed with ease - effortless and punchier power - change in power to weight is noticeable pretty much erases the "lag" it had in stock form below 3400rpm - once you go above 3400rpm however - wow wee - haven't found enough road to test the 7200rpm limiter - will be attending a Phillip island track day in Oct - save it till then
  6. Headers, race intake, carbon elbow, oil/seperator, tune and braided brake lines
  7. hahaha yes you are right, i have just trolled this topic havent i ok so first impressions: turn key, engine light and traction light are on - sound is amazing with varex open, and somewhat subtle and classy with varex closed. these cars will run lean with the cats removed, so a tune is highly suggested, I have just uploaded RR,'s tune (last night), and im still getting used to it. repeat - you should tune your car to match the new mod, especially if you have an intake. suggestions to note: wrap the headers with exhaust wrap (i used 3 x 25 foot rolls) - be careful with the steering rack and remember where it is with regards to the rotation when you put it back together. I wouldnt be hooning around if your engine light is on, as that means its running lean - get a tune - talk to Simon at RR racing, tell him ehat you have fitted and he will send you a map. car is loud and sharp, revs freely, and all in all i think the engine is thriving from these mods if done properly, highly recommend
  8. Just finished the RR pack install - now to do some test runs
  9. Mine were delivered direct wihin 3 business days of ordering via RR racing being installed this weekend 👌
  10. hi all does any one have a spare Tactrix Openport 2.0 cable i could borrow for a couple of runs? happy to reimburse the owner
  11. well done mate - thanks for organising sorry for the late withdrawal
  12. That's weird, I went to look at it and the buyer told me he didn't want to sell it anymore. Maybe he didn't like me lol
  13. Ive studied the *BLEEP* out of this and RR racing have kindly offered to monitor my ECU and map to see how it responds to melb weather, - can be altered further and post install to suit . That's good enough for me!
  14. That thought did cross my mind. Any suggestions of who and where?
  15. Hi all picked up this a month or two ago. Planning on an RR tune pack, have ordered a varex x force which is taking its sweet time via sparesbox. Mate at work with a tuned CLA45 bet me 5k he will beat me at the drags. I Will need to have slicks and a bit of luck IMO
  16. Gregorydarcy is in what do they retail for in Aus?
