Enjoy that R as much and often as you can!
I also recommend to change the gearbox oil. It will help maintaining the LSD.
And I can only second the statements on regular engine oil changes. Do not drive 20.000 km with one fill.
Wheel/tyre size matters here. Also the car model, which you stated.
The tyre's manufacturer recommendation is the one to go with, IMHO. Some of them provide such, like Michelin, some not. The sticker on the door is an "oversafely" recommendation for all types of tyres for the specific car.

On his iPad while in the R?
Until you rev up the engine and let that thing fly thru the corners, hehe. My kids always celebrated the drives in the R firing me up to drive faster and faster. And no one ever was allowed to overtake us on the autobahns. Ever.
The only "recall" I remember was a change to the front brake pads. But in all honesty I do not know if this was an official recall at all or only something bound to the German market. My R was one of the early cars on the market and it had different brake pads on the fronts (PFC). Those did some...
The back seats work with kids on them up to about 9-10 years old. Depends on how fast they grow.
I did few long hauls into the Alps with 2 or sometime 3 kids in the R. One 6 year old and another 7 in the back and the 12 year old on the passenger seat. They never complained.
Very good results and thanks a lot for the pics!
Sure, you will hardly "feel" any performance gains but overall the engine will work "better" than before, especially on low revs.
My R also had only very little residue sitting in the intake ports (I posted some pics in that long thread about my...
I'd rather go with a nice and safe remap on the rollers. Up to 280 horses and about 280 lb ft. And do not touch the output characteristics of that engine in the higher revs. Optimize the mid range.
The results would transform the car beyond any intake/exhaust tweaking.
My RCZ R has been serviced by main dealer all through its entire lifetime with me (5 years with about 130.000 miles).
In general there were no issues but few times I had to point them towards things they overlooked or didn't care that much about (but I did). Nothing critical or what would have...
