Do you miss the throttle mapping from the OFT? I've read that the OTS tune help with throttle sensitivity and also help smooth everything out but now I don't know.

Car looks great man. I like wingless too

I can definitely tell that the throttle is a little less responsive when taking off from first gear, but I dont see any difference when driving.

Put up my Sequential Valenti All Red Tint up for sale, so I decided to finish the red tint on my oem as a replacement for the valenti.

My trusty 50mm as always

Nicee. How many coats of the tint did you do and how many coats of the clear? Do you just wet sand the clear after then polish?

That's beautiful man, I love it. Personally I think it looks so much better without the double spoiler. If you took off the TRD spoiler and kept the wing that would be ok too, but having both did kinda scream for attention lol.

I agree with what you said earlier; simple is best. Your build is simple, subtle, and fully functional. It doesn't scream for attention but it is a legit track car especially with you behind the wheel being focused on developing your driving skills. Keep up the good work.

Final result for last event are in, I came in 2nd in A Mod class

Being back to stock power, with only lower springs and tires and some of my competitors having full bolt on, I'm very proud of how my Car handle.

I'm very sure it's because of the RE71R and not the driver hahaha

On other news, the Valenti tail lights are sold and as much as I hate to see them go my SBC RPF1s are up for sale as well. I will use stock wheel and tire for daily duty, keeping my GTF1 for HPDE.
