touché!

I loved the way my injen intake sounded on my ISF's. I may have to do the same thing on my RCF again

Hopefully, mine will be ready for Pick-Up tue/wed as i'm getting the Clear-Bra put on & also the Apexi Controller installed. I Really Hope it adds a lil' Better Response like some of you guys said it Does.

Re apexi controller - I tend to Sri ve in yellow. Sometimes purple on the highway. If someone pulls next to me at a light, I switch to red and dust them. You'll enjoy it and your frequent trips to the gas station lol

Well it's been raining on & off the last couple of days, but yesterday the roads were Dry for awhile & thought i would drive the RCF up to the Shop (1st drive since i got the Apexi installed) & i was on the phone talking & wasn't really paying attention & when the lite turned green i just TOUCHED the gas pedal & the car jumped & spun the tires & it surprised me at first cause i didn't know if my gas pedal was stuck or what but WOW Guys, i'm telling you the Apexi Controller makes a Difference! I know it's not supposed to add any HP but the car just seems like it Definitely has an Extra PEP in it's Step now. Still haven't tried doing anything else yet, but i'm telling you i LOVE IT so Far

Glad you all like the Controller. The thing is amazing. Leave it on red and put the car into expert mode and you will light up the tires through first and second no problem. Its amazing.

Robert, i was JUST reading on that & was wondering IF there was any difference between the Boost Mode 2 (Purple) compared to the Hi-Throttle (Red). Seems like someone else on here said he keeps his on the Purple Mode all the time. So WHICH one does What the Best in your opinion? I Didn't get it for Eco, i can tell you that Thanks

Hahaha!! I think it's really awesome that you got the A'PEXi Smart Accel Controller and actually felt the difference. I'm glad it worked out for you!!

It really does do wonders for the RCF. Many RCF owners complained about the car being sluggish and unresponsive at times; however, with this unit, it wakes the car up a bit by affecting the throttle response and improving the acceleration. THe RCF is a heavy car to begin with so anything that can improve responsiveness is a plus!

The unit is small, relatively inexpensive, and fairly simple to install. For around a couple hundred bucks, you get a vast improvement over the factory settings.

Speaking of, I'm trying to find a solid/cheapest source for the Apexi controller. Link to purchase?

EDIT: I couldn't for the life of me find the actual controller on the Apexi site. After finding it on another reseller and cross referencing it, I found it on their site and for a better price than any reseller. Here are the exact parts you need:


SMART Accel Controller 410-A001 1 $166.50
SMART Accel Controller Harness, 2015+ Lexus RC-F 417-A021_11 1 $58.50

Thats awesome. Red is the most responsive mode, and that is what I keep it in. I wouldnt go in any other mode besides that otherwise I would just drive with it off
