Do you think the Apexi Smart Throttle Controller is worth getting?

Not sure if I mentioned it but love your steering wheel. I would get the exact same layout/design
Yes I am used to the HREs now, but I may get the Vossens refinished like the picture below but in dark matte graphite spokes and use them as a track set.


The Apexi throttle controller is nice, makes the throttle extremely responsive!

The DCTMS steering is probably one of my favorite mods because I get to stare at it every moment when I get in the car, the quality of the steering wheel still amazes me, you should definitely get one!

Here is a picture for you guys that love technology, thanks to the beatsonic mod I did awhile back!

Beautiful color scheme for painting the wheels! Definitely give the car the pop it needs.

Still on the fence with the apexi throttle controller but it doesn't cost that much so might just go ahead and grab it

Yeah, want to knock out performance mods before I do purely cosmetic interior upgrades...wheel is pretty sweet and hope you don't mind if I copy your setup

Love the infinite picture inside of picture shot

Thanks! You will love the Apexi throttle controller, it's a night and day difference if you leave it in purple mode.

Lol no I don't mind, we are enthusiasts and are here to share our builds!

It's okay! Thanks for the kind words! I think it's time for you to sell the ISF and get the RCF, if not get the RCF and keep the ISF!

RCF500, anymore runs with Gearbangin after you got your headers installed? All those videos were only with your exhaust and CCB right?

How do you think the results will go now with the addition of headers?

None yet, it's still early in the car season and plus he is somewhat busy with his FRS right now. Those videos with gearbangin, my car only had the exhaust, intake and the CCBS.

Before the headers, I believe we were even and it was pretty much a driver's race. I may edge him with the headers. I ran a 12.8 and I believe he ran a 12.7 at the drag strip.

I am heading to the drag strip tomorrow, so we shall see if I can pull better numbers in 70 degree weather, I am aiming for 12.4-12.5 runs with the headers installed, I previously ran 12.8093 @ 111.52 MPH with a Density Altitude corrected time of 12.328 @ 115.961 MPH.

Hey! man... I just saw RRRacing has an O2 Sensor Conditioner. Do you think this will work for us? http://www.rr-racing.com/RR-Racing-O...o2ss000004.htm

It's exactly the same conditioner that is included with the PPE headers, the difference is that the one that comes from PPE is plug and play.

Any update on the time? Can't wait to see more videos of your RCF.
Definitely aren't as many RCF videos as the M4s on YouTube. Haha.

No problem! Hell yea that thing moves for weighing almost 3 tons. He said that he hasn't dyno yet, but he's guessing it's probably around 600 hp at the wheels.
