Hey man I know you said that the upgraded FIGS LCA helps with the fast wear in the inside of the tire, but does it make the car feel more planted going around a corner? @Huang bros

@@jamescates6005 Yeap thats its primary benefit. The tire saving is secondary benefit. It prevents movement in the #2 bushing which means faster response time of the action so resulting in more precise steering.

It is a high performance sports coupe so I never experienced the "driving like a boat" part. The stock suspension on my RCF carbon/TVD is pretty stiff. It really corners flat especially with much superior tires than the one it came with (Pilot Super Sport, which were too soft for my liking). I switched out the tires for PS4S Extra Load and the feedback and sidewall stiffness got dramatically better. Anyway, cheers!

I daily drive the car and don't intend on taking it to the track but I'm thinking of replacing them on a tight budget. I looked at the BC DS Racing coilovers which are roughly $300 cheaper than the RR- Racing ones do you think it's worth the extra $$? Also for a casual driver like myself who loves ride quality over racing performance, do you think the bearing bushing is worth it?

2015 tvd model as well. What do you think about weight reduction? I won't remove interiors cause that makes experience from daily uses worse, and won't go for cf hood as it seems quite dangerous. What i can think of right now is to swap for lighter battery, rims and exhaust(maybe novel header+exhaust, nice sound but quite expensive). Thx
@thehuangbros 3 жыл бұрын
The benefits of weight reduction is greater than adding power mods like Intake Header Exhaust believe it or not. Weight reduction will allow our v8s to really shine as proven or shown in one of my videos about the track built ISF by illwillem on ig who took off around 700lbs. I think even 100lbs in weight reduction will get you to be faster than any other rcf with an intake and exhaust. The first weight reduction areas to target is the unsprung weight so the rims, lug nuts, brake calipers, brake rotors, suspension struts/shocks.

Barry, how rough is the ride with the Figs bushings? I had the RR racing (street version) and didn't like about the ride quality, and most of all the maintenance of the bushings. Hate re-lubing it every 6 months(or less). I'm looking forward on getting the new version of RR's bushing, the race version, which is like the one you have (enclosed and maintenance free). I would probably can deal with the ride roughness if I don't need to take it out twice(or more) a year. I have the RCF/GSF bushings and your truly correct - car is now back to boat ride.
@thehuangbros 3 жыл бұрын
Haha im glad someone agrees with me about the boat feel. But um I had rr racing usrs before the figs solids. They say solids you feel it more because there is no polyurethane. I didnt feel any of the increased nvh but maybe its because I have x2 8in subs in the trunk. I had a good experience with usrs i just changed to figs solid precision bearings to save the tires more. But it also depends on what suspension you have that will absorb the road harshness since its the struts/shocks that receives the road info and it has sends the info back to the inside cabin. My experience with nvh tolerance will most likely be higher than yours but overall i like the way usrs or figs solids feel, no nvh really.

Go for the screen yes but be careful with the exhaust choice. Its not the loudest but it is loud when you accelerate of course but it doesnt sound as loud as every other exhaust systems out there. If you want loud loud go to other brands other than ARK

hi barry im planning to upgrade my exhaust what do you think about borla vs invidia q 300 just want something more agressive but not to the sound of mustang or challenger i had bad experieniece with tanabe medallion touring axle back very loud drone sound at 3000 rpm
@thehuangbros 3 жыл бұрын
Hey what sup Ian. Ive heard Borla in person and its a really good note. Have you heard muffler/resonator deleted exhausts yet? Borla is like a nice pitch of that. Invidia gives it a nice tone but I have not heard it in a rcf but have heard it in a RC350 and it sounds really good. However that is comparing V8 to V6. I think invidia still keeps the exhaust note close to JDM. I dislike sounding like a mustang/challenger too. For drone wise, Ive never sat in the car in these so I wouldnt be able to comment on the drone.

@thehuangbros 3 жыл бұрын
The oiled filter is the one you have to avoid. The oil from the filter will get sucked in overtime and overtime will get caught on the MAF sensor giving it incorrect readings. Dry filter is what everyone recommends.

Does your car have stop and go adaptive cruise? How do the brakes hold up on track?
@thehuangbros 3 жыл бұрын
It does have dynamic radar cruise control. I can set it to 3 different distance settings from car in front of me. It is worth it in my opinion. I had an RCF before with no dynamic and it kinda sucked because I had to always footbrake and at that point had to restart Cruise Control all over again. My brakes are stock oem rotors. I have Stoptech stainless steel lines, Motul RBF 600 fluid, and Endless MX72 brake pads. It stops very good and no fade on track. I have a track video up that I posted 3 days ago that you can check out if you want to see braking.
