Welcome... and nice ride. I personally don't like the tailights either (and I do think they're "ricey"). But it's your car, so do what you want to it. As mentioned before, there are a lot knowledgeable members in this forum that know their sh*t.

Yea, today i took it through the pressure washer, and they leaked like crazy, I am just going to throw the old lights back on, they look better with the thruxton 19's hyperblack, i think the only reason i kinda liked them ws b/c they kinda mached my old wheels, butnot anymore, Stock is better (coming form a shop owner) and the stock ones are among the best stock tailights on any sports car IMO.
As for an ECU upgrade, what quick suggestions you have for someone who can't tune, something ready to go...

LOL Oh cry us a river. Opinions are like ********....

He has some merit in that, the FD is a true performer car. NOT a drag car. Automagic's shine on the strip, that's about it. The last thing I think of when I see my car is "Drag racing" or anything straight line...

Sorry, but there's a reason why they made a lot less auto's....

He still has a reason for having and automatic 7. Initial d boy was just flamming him because he wants a great performing car and an automatic for practical reasons. I also believe that our cars werent made for straight line performance even though they can be.

BTW i am crying right now becaus eyou attempted to flame me.

what he said. no boost controller? you're lucky you have some turbo problems as it's probably keeping you from making boost and blowing your engine.

Your turbos are fine, the vacuum hose job wasnt done properly.

The apexi power fc is plug and play for an FD with dp, cb and intake. You will want to put a catalytic converter on the car, either stock or high flow or once you fix your boost problems you will most likely boost creep due to lack of backpressure and an overpowered stock internal wastegate and pop your motor.

From one shop owner to another, I am very very happy you are ditching those altezzas
