Nice! but rest in peace "F" Badge. Anyways, how's the grip on the carbon, perforated and red smooth leather? How's the slippery level of each? Which one is not slippery, slippery, and super slippery?

It would've been nice with the "F" badge but the manufacturer said it wouldn't fit because of the flat bottom, but I don't mind it. The grip on the carbon feels exactly like those glossy wood steering wheels if you know what I mean and does have grooves for fingers in the back for extra gripping on the top part of the carbon. The perforated and red leather feels like the leather on the stock steering wheel.

Thanks man! Your RC is the nicest bagged one I've seen... As for the DCTMS steering wheel, I love it! I am taking the RCF back up to PA at the end of this month and won't be back down to FL until the end of the year, maybe I'll see you then...lol.

Thank you for your kind words sir, yes I've had many CEL, but I been adjusting the new O2 conditioner PPE sent to me, as of right now its fine setting at 50 for the gains and 15 for the filter, it's only been a little over 300 mi since I reset the CEL, but we'll see.

I am taking the car to TTFS for a tune on the 27th of this month so stay tuned. As for the dyno runs, I have done about 4 different sessions to date and they are pretty consistent with each other. More to come...

Have TTFS write out the CEL; I am thinking of going that direction with them as much as i'd rather use the O2 conditioner. I'm currently set at 50 grain 30 filter

Lol...It's funny that you guys quick to jump start the RCF tuning a bit ever since I posted in the TTFS tuning thread, when you guys said that "the RCF tune will be ready within 2 months".

But it's cool, competitiveness between vendors creates innovation and best of all, it's good for the consumers!

I had CEL every 200-300 miles before the new O2 conditioner came in, I am at 400 miles now, it's somewhat working...lol. Most likely I will have TTFS write out the DTC for the O2 sensors, that's if everything goes to plan.
