Just got finished testing the RCF with the controller installed and I can say that it's the best $225 I've spent on a mod by far. The car has become more responsive in normal mode with the red and purple modes on. When I tried the red and purple on sport and sport + while being in manual, it turns the car into full hooligan mode. Wish the car came like this stock, it would've been even more impressive from the get go. It's pretty fun losing traction from a red light while the traction control is still on lol

^ Glad that everyone is having the same response to the controller as me and rmsimmonsj did when we tested this unit out a few months ago. Still one of the best mods out right now for the money.

WOW! I just ordered this based off your quick review.

Question to everyone: Is the RCF throttle lag pretty obvious?

Just got it on Amazon for $198.39 with expedited shipping included, it would have been $189 with standard shipping lol.

No I don't actually have Prime so I had to pay for the expedited shipping lol, I may be the only person here without Prime but I just don't shop on Amazon often.

Default Cheap on Amazon

I thought this was a pretty good deal. Installing mine this weekend, I'll post updates once I get to play around with it a bit.

I've been driving around all evening now that the controller is installed, and I agree with everyone else that has it installed. It does exactly what it says it will do. I notice a significant reduce in throttle lag especially in sport mode. Best 180 bucks I've spent in awhile. Also, red mode is the only way to go !!!

Can someone share how they mounted the Apexi button to the one of the blank spots near the blind spot monitor button? Not sure how to remove the panel and where to run the wiring from the pedal to the dash panel. Any pics would be a great help. Thanks in advance for your help!
