I have the LC-1 with the XD-16 Gauge, it takes less than 60s to recalibrate, not sure what the big deal is. I had issues where the LC-1 ecu unit would overheat in the engine bay and would fail, (failed twice) My 3rd unit I reinstalled into the cabin

Best Mod: Edit, Sound dampening is awesome, but my best mod is probably the Pineapple Racing idler pulley wheel! No more slippage!

Worst Mod: Apexi SS Inline exhaust flange into a Greddy TI-Exhaust...Fail!!!

I used to get zero drone with a resonated MP and stock twins. Now that I'm single I get a slight drone at anything above 80 MPH but nothing too crazy. From what I hear the greedy SP is even quieter.




lol yeah that would get old.

Yeah it does get old but i only drive my car on the weekends, i think all toys should make noise but idk, the exhaust has been bothering me lately, i guess cause im getting older lol.

Do you have a video of your setup btw??

I saw a couple of clips with RB dual on youtube and idk, it sounds like mine. It might be their video quality but i dont see a difference and i cant see how people think thats quiet lol

Let's See I'd have to say the best mod on my old 7 would have to be Advan Racing Version 2 wheels that I waited nearly 9 months for!
Worst mod.....Hmm I'd have a tough time deciding between the Rotary Extreme FEED version 2 front bumper in FRP.....great reproduction but fiberglass on a track car.....BAD IDEA! The other worst mod I'd have to say was the transmission brace....Not sure who made it, but the car felt like I was on a washing machine with a load of towels off balance to one side at 10000 rpm!

Best: My custom catback that I made. I get a ton of complements on it at the track and I love it too.

Worst: RB rear sway bar... nothing wrong with it really, just didn't work for me. It was the only mod I ever sold.

mine is a poor representation since I went single. The car got significantly louder after that it's still quiter from other singles that I've heard though.

Well yeah it's no saint but it's very bearable and at WOT the car definately came to life. With the stock twins, I could actually have a conversation in the freeway in the without yelling.

I haven't had my FD tuned yet so I don't notice any extra power from the round of mods I've had done but...

Worst Mod: Buying temporary wheels until I find Spirit R wheels (I should have just kept the stockers and not wasted my money)

Best Mod: This is a tough one but I'd have to say getting the nardi OEM steering wheel. I didn't get any more power or handling from this one but I did get alot less problems with sweaty hands and everything else was improved from looks to comfort. The stock steering wheels is an abomination.

Most Surprising Mod: Painting my interior pieces to match the Spirit R ones. I didn't think this one would be a big deal but when you sit in your car long enough, you notice. The gray against the black console looks great but what looks even better is the Spirit R gauges and needles against the gray. It really brought up the level of the interior.

I really like my OEM wheel. Maybe the 94 wheel was different than the 93.

Im going to focus this winter on bringing my interior up to par. I cringe every time i see that school bus steering wheel in my car.
