Default Apexi Throttle Control installed: i love it :D

yes, i know, it doesnt make the car faster...it does make it really responsive. To me it feels great, i love it I stay on red mode. Also, next to a 100 shot of nitrous, it really gets down This is the easiest mod to install, took about 10 minutes tops.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I know that using any other mod other then stock in reverse can cause damage. I would guess that on the Apexi throttle controller you need to add an additional module that reverts the setting back to stock when you shift to reverse.

it has a reverse wire on it which i did not hook up. I didn't see a need since i actually know how to drive. Besides, when i drive in reverse, its typically right after i started the car (obviously) and the unit does not activate until you actually turn it on. In other words, its not on anyway i dont need something to turn it off when i put it in reverse.

I did put it in "red" mode just to see how it was to back up with it like that. Its not any more dangerous then it being off because when i back out of a parking spot, i usually dont put my foot to the floor anyway. Actually, unless you are a maniac, you dont need to push the gas very much, if at all when backing up so i dont see a problem with not hooking that wire up.

so in order to get to say, Hi-Throttle mode, every time you start the car you have to press that button 7 times? or how does it work?

Looks great. I had something like this (sprintbooster)on my previous car (Benz c350) and it made a world of difference. Glad you are enjoying it.
