Oof, been losing motivation for this car. Had a couple issues come up with it, nothing major. Dent in the roof, dent in the arch over my door, had to have the sunroof repaired, had to replace all 3 horns in the car, third brake light needs to be replaced. Ugh. Next time it goes in im going to have the dents PDR'd, the one on the roof removed paint unfortunately, but I touched it up. Paint Matched my lip kit. Also installed the 10.25" Android head unit, and after some new software updates, Im proud to say I don't have any issues with it. Next big purchase is going to be the RRRacing Supercharger. After that, the LSD that RR sells, and after that, a cage from Studio RSR, and some sparco seats, as well as strip the interior!
you may want to consider a project car and leave this as your daily dude. Driving with a cage is not fun and is actually very very dangerous if it’s not being used exclusively for track use

Dont worry, id still use the factory 3 point seat belt on the street. No issues then haha.
I’m referring to smashing your head into one of the bars In the event of a accident. You would need to drive with a helmet on
Ah i see. i thought you were talking about the danger of wearing a 5 point harness on the street without a neck brace, get in a collision and you’ll break your neck and die. As far as hitting my head on the roll cage, it’s not an issue. The Studio RSR cage sits behind the front seats barely.

Pittsy- It seems we've had similar issues with our cars. I had my entire sunroof housing replaced due to a rattle in the roof/ceiling and had an intermittent issue with one of the low end horns not working under certain conditions (not repeatable). Were your repairs done under warranty or did you have to pay out-of-pocket? If out-of-pocket, was it expensive?

I had the exact same issues you're describing. My car has passed its warranty period, so I had to pay out of pocket. I was quoted 400 some dollars for the horns, and 400 something for the sunroof. And 600 for the 3rd brake light. I only shelled out the 400 for the sunroof and had them fix that. I went on eBay and bought all 3 replacement horns brand new for 70$ and replaced myself, took all of but 45 seconds each to do. Im going to see if I can find that 3rd brake light for cheaper as well, I was told by my SA that the rattle is inside of the 3rd brake light so they just have to replace it.
Thanks for the reply. Although I do have a warranty, I'd rather not bring it back to the dealer for the horns if I dont have to. Can you describe the procedure for replacing the horns? Do you have a diagram? Do you have the part numbers you used for the horns? Much appreciated.
All you have to do is open the hood and remove the two plastic shrouds right next to the hood latch, then you have access to the two horns, just one 12mm bolt each and one connector each and you can take them out. follow the reverse of these steps to install and bam. two of three horns done. the 3rd horn is a security horn which is located just in front of the battery. it is a 10mm bolt and a connector to replace it. here are the 3 part numbers I found and used. Horn sounds perfect like new again.
Well, I bought some SPC camber arms to get rid of the negative camber in the rear and mitigate premature tire wear and enhance how the car drives. Ill be installing tonight and going in for an alignment tomorrow.

Before and after on my alignment after getting the SPC rear camber arms installed. Gonna pic up some FUCA here in a bit. Then my alignment will be perfect.
Been doing some thinking. Im going to start the hunt for an RCF rear bumper and diffuser. My current bumper is kinda messed up from the previous owner of the car, so why not. I have plans for this car to go further than an F in the long run, so why not?
Im sure im going to get so much hate for being a poser but whatever lol. I think the RCF rear end looks so menacing compared to the 350, besides, Im planning on having some custom vented fenders made up front to pull hot air out and away from the engine bay.
IMO the RCF front end is very bullnosed compared to the 350 front end, so having my own set of fenders and the F bumper will make the perfect RC,
