I got my .2 RS last year and started doing the PCA DE? What a blast, it is where you can really see what the car is all about. You are correct in your assertion that it is not cheap to track, but what a thrill.

No console at the moment until other mods done.......
Car was stripped to put full cage in and the car was soooo intoxicating to listen and drive...... no sound deadening, so all engine noise as music to the ears and car felt lighter!!!!! But in the end, my car is still a street car, so all panels and carpet were installed back after full cage installed and center console will be installed soon also.

Steering wheel update.....
Found out from a thread on Planet-9 that I installed everything right, but the japanese picture instructions was wrong...... in the picture, the plug orientation has the the resistors for airbag light on the left...... but in reality, you need to have the plug backwards with the resistors on the right. Problem solved, no more horn staying on and no more air bag light.
The only thing i needed help on was routing the horn wires under the steering wheel to the quick release and my buddy that owns a radio shop shortened the ends to the connectors behind the horn buttons, soldered the lines perpendicular to the horn button connectors, and added liquid rubber on the ends to have the cleanest connection.
Thanx to TCSRACING1, P.J.S., MD11SKIPPER, IZZONE for trying to help me out with the wiring issue.
Here is the outcome

Congratulations, that's my old car. I wondered who ended up with it. You did indeed get a good one. Never, ever had a problem and I took excellent care of the car. 3 oil changes in less than 5K miles, changed the tranny fluid as well and installed a semi solid transmission mount, in case you haven't noticed. It made a big difference. Everything done by the dealer, except one oil change. Love what you did with the car.

The car was was perfectly specced and was even CPO'd with the RSS half cage and RSS X-pipe (even though I took those two items out) and semi solid trans mounts......
I REALLY LOVE THIS RS!!!!!!!!
