Default Ark Throttle Controller

Yes, I know this is the 2is Forums, but this is a mod that any AUTOMATIC Lexus can use so I thought I'd share it here incase yall dont look at the F forums :P

Once again I got bored of my car and felt that it wasn't quick enough so I talked to my friend Steven from ModinJapan and we ended up installing the Ark Throttle Controller. I knew about the Toms and Apexi Throttle Controller but saw that no one had this one and thought why not give it a try, I mean it is MADE IN JAPAN! I was kind of iffy about the product at first but after driving with it, I guarantee you guys will end up buying it too.. Install is very simple, took 15 minutes max if you know what you're doing. I like this module better then Apexi's because it has a very neat gauge that makes the interior look more modern and more sport orientated, pretty OEM in my opinion too. There are four modes, Normal, Eco, and Sport & memory modes. Eco mode will definitely help save gas and sport mode is WOW!! The car is a lot more responsive now.. Whatever degree I push the gas pedal my car takes off! Second gear my tires are still spinning muahha. Take my word on this.. Worth it!! Ask Steve from ModinJapan for the Josh Lee ISF discount

No Throttle. Looks pretty cool here and very accessible.





Normal Mode: 5% throttle in, 5% throttle out





Eco Mode: 8% Throttle in, 5% Throttle out.





Sport Mode: 8% Throttle in, 12% throttle out.





Blends in well :P

How much and where to buy?

How does the eco/normal/sport mode on this differ from the eco/normal/sport stock??

^ ditto.

Also, do you remember how you cleanly mounted that where the ashtray is (unless instructions come with it lol)? a lot of the dig's on here say how to mount it in front of the dash, which I think looks mediocre.... I like how clean and neat this looks!

3m tape? did you get a stand with it?
