Did you send in your ECU to get unlocked? Can you share a bit more on how the whole process went and how long it took? More importantly, how do you like the custom tunes that came with? I've read that they are pretty powerful already unless you have full bolts on.
how the process works is, you order ktuner from a vendor, fill out the form on ktuners website, email ktuner with all the info to schedule the ecu unlock. next day it to them, they unlock it and send it back same day. i sent mine in on tuesday and had it back thursday

1. Purchase KTuner from an authorized dealer
2. Email info@KTuner to set up a time/date on when to send out your ECU while also submitting their form for the CTR specifically.
3. Once you get a confirmation from them, send out your ECU and once they get it, they’ll mail it back to you same day shipping.

It’s really easy and simple, it took me over 2 weeks because SEMA was happening and they weren’t available and also I did ground shipping so that took some time for them to get the ECU.

Overall the I am happy with results other than getting a CEL P0139 but they gave me a beta version to turn that off so we will see how it goes. I ended up flashing it with the multi level stage 1 tune and the results was day and night. I have FBO as well so a proper tune is a must which is going to be my next step.

Just a heads up to anyone else that’s running the beta version, my car did went into limp mode after flashing it and it threw a CEL P2176 which nearly gave me a heart attack because my car sounded like it has COPD. After flashing it back to factory tune and flashing it again to ML stage 1 it was back to normal hopefully! Fingers cross!

I highly recommend it to anyone that hasn’t gotten it yet, it should’ve been the first thing on my list.

Was waiting for you say that those 2 tire tracks were yours

I cleaned all the Buttonwillow Raceway dirt out from under it, did a little playing in the adult sized sandbox, pushing the limits. Installed splitter, nut and bolt check throughout, cleaned and greased all the spherical joints, cleaned and greased the race camber plates, took some measurments for more development in the works and tomorrow giving it a bath to go to a meet to hang with some friends. pics are just an example of one time playing in the dirt......

Yeah!!! They’re here. Nice concaveness and high quality to them with great packaging. Hub centric at 64.1 mm for stock hub so no need for centering ring. Weighs in at 18.5 lbs each on bathroom scale. Ok, mounting 245/40/18 snow tires next for some ice racing. Have matching T7 caps too.

Many thanks to our sponsor, Titan 7! ❄⛄

Fronts were a pain in the ass for my mechanic friend, but I'm finally completely lowered on Spoon springs.

love those mugen window visors. Im thinking about getting them as well. just wish they were a bit darker tint.

What do think of the Indy 500’s? Ordered those on my VMR wheels coming in Jan. Good price & good reviews, so thought I’d give them a try.

Even though I was going to wait for a FMIC I think I get one. Like you said, can’t pass up that deal!

Throwing a CEL or not has nothing to do with catted or catless. Some DP has only 1 O2 sensors when stock has 2 O2 sensors so look for that.

If you plan to go Hondata, it has feature to turn off the CEL.
