Anyone know if I can add the Ras package on my non ras 06 coupe?

 

You probably could, but would likely be easier to buy a coupe with All the components.

 

Yeah man I just think it’s a cool feature.

 

@cleric670 will eventually chime in as he owns one. It’s a really cool design.

 

Technically yes, it's really not a lot of components, the RAS actuator, a relay for the motor with battery power, ignition ON power for the RAS controller, brake light switch, and two wires for CANBUS.

All the 2006-2007 6MT instrument clusters have the RAS indicator light on the dash, it's just not hooked up to anything.

All of the information it needs to work comes over CANBUS so that cuts down on a significant amount of wiring.

However I personally wouldn't bother adding it to a car that didn't already have it just because it's such a niche thing that's only ever going to matter for autocross. And you need to disable it completely for straight line racing because it can be a problem when you roll out of the water box and do a burnout since the car typically wants to turn during the burnout far enough and you're correcting enough to cause it to actuate during your burnout.

It is pretty badass for autocross though, but you need to use it regularly enough that you know when it's going to turn on or it can be a little unpredictable.

 

Noted makes sense.

also how do you know all of this 😂.

 

Lots of experience, and the factory service manual is a godsend. Plus I have this habit of taking stuff apart to see how it works.

Most of the RAS stuff is hidden under STC - Steering Controls

 

Also, I have RAS on my car and the motors can wear out and hard to source. I ended up finding one on eBay from an M35 a few years ago to replace it.

 

Yeah I figure when mind bites the bullet I'll probably just delete it if I can't find one for a good price.
