Fast. Ill have to work on my take off to beat that .8

To the CEL question above, looks like a tune is going to be the only way to get the light to stay off. The new computer on the RCF must be too advanced for the little o2 simulators because it throws the light on with foulers, 02 simulators, or adjustable simulators.

BTW, how was the feeling of the stability/handling at 130-155mph?

Not sure how interested I am in getting a CEL every couple hundred miles or so.

Is the CEL tied to the O2 sensors, and if so, have you tried replacing them?

Regardless, your build is incredible. Always love looking for what new thing you have done to the car. Awesome work!
Thanks for the kind words! It's really weird how I get the CEL, I can reset it and it doesn't come on for a few hundred miles, then I reset it again and it comes on less than 50 miles. Might be my driving habits, I usually WOT whenever the engine is warm and when I have the chance to, the sound is so intoxicating.

The codes I am getting are P0139, P0159, P013A, P013C when the CEL pop ups, circuit slow response and rich to lean on both bank 1 and bank 2 sensor 2s. I don't really want to replace them if there is nothing wrong with them, but I might try it to see if it works. If anyone can figure this out, that would be great, I've been adjusting the O2 conditioner left and right and nothing is working...lol. Otherwise I might have to wait until one of the companies release a tune and just delete the DTC code for it.

Lol...maybe you need wider tires! As for the CEL, that is what I am thinking, the tune will definitely take the CEL away.

The car very stable at high speed and the handling is great, it doesn't weigh over 2 ton for nothing.

Yeah, that is what I figured. It is easy to get up there quickly in speeds in Mexico but I have not yet gotten to that level so I was curious. Glad to hear. Be safe

at 161 ish its surprisingly stable, i'd venture off to say it was more stable than my 15 STI, in the STI I believe I only hit 153-155 though.

Amazing setup and by far the most popular header /exhaust setup we carry. Well worth the few pennies it costs.

Last time in Mexico I hit 174mph and the limiter wouldn't let me go any further (although the car was still pulling nicely) and it felt very stable. Scary thing in this car is that 120 feels like 75 lmao.

Thanks! Every time I drive the car more and more, I get intoxicated by the sound, it's so addicting!

Nice! The highest I ever been in the RCF was 168, but the RCF pulled to 177 multiple times on the dyno before the speed limiter cutoff.

No problem, made by an enthusiast to share with enthusiasts! You are going to love it! One of the best sounding I've heard!

Thanks! I love it when every time I get in the RCF, and just WOT, it's one of my stress relievers!
