during the 4th weekend. worked on my cars everyday that 4 day weekend.

I have been nursing a hamstring injury so I haven't touched either cars. I bought a new lip/diffuser rubber strip but haven't had a chance to install it

Man it's been over a week and I'm still hobbling

It hurts even to just sit down so I'm trying to gradually ease myself into driving more but standing up for awhile is painful so the Panda is filthly

Good find, my friend just ordered the Konig Oversteer's for his TSX and these remind me of them.

I would personally not run a set of no-name wheels like that

Ninja's, really???

Alright, here is the APEXi throttle controller install that I have been lagging on sharing!

Here is a photo of what you get with the kit (Control Unit, toggle switch, directions, and Throttle linkage)

The controller has 7 Setting Modes: (3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode).

I have spent significant time with the Eco modes and I now drive around with the most extreme Eco modes (for stop and go traffic) and the middle Eco modes for normal driving. Freeway merging or passing I drive around in the High-boost mode and it completely opens up the power of the car and removes any lag in throttle.

I removed the Fuse panel to determine what kind of installation I could work with and realized I had a good amount of space to mount the box

First thing I did was uninstall the OEM throttle and placed the APEXi cable between the two connections

As you can see there was quite a bit of extra wiring that I tucked behind the carpet to hide

I was then able to place the control box on an empty section of the panel (affixed with some double-sided tape)

I then focused my attention on how I was going to mount the controller switch, that is when I realized the fuse cover has a hole at the bottom which the cabling could run through

Then I remounted the Fuse cover and checked all my clearances

Success!

Matches the interior well

Final setup, works really well and is pretty subtle!
