APEXi Electronics SMART Accelerator Controller with Harness for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Take precise control of your car’s drive-by-wire system. This controller lets you switch between a delayed economy mode, a quick “Boost” mode, or an aggressive “Hi-Throttle” mode to perfectly suit any driving situation.

$110

This controller plugs directly into your drive-by-wire throttle system, giving you complete command over your car’s pedal-to-throttle signal. It’s designed to eliminate the vague or delayed feel of the factory setup, allowing you to precisely tailor the car’s responsiveness to your preference and driving conditions.

  • Features three distinct modes to tune your pedal feel.
  • Throttle Mode: Delays throttle response from normal, perfect for smooth driving or maximising fuel economy.
  • Boost Mode: Quickens throttle response for a noticeably sharper and more engaging accelerator pedal feel.
  • Hi-Throttle Mode: Delivers the most aggressive response, making the throttle react as if at full-throttle for immediate acceleration.
  • Includes an optional Reverse-Gear Cancel Harness, a key safety feature that automatically reverts to the factory throttle map when reversing.

You will feel an immediate difference in the car’s personality. Whether you want to smooth out jerky inputs for a comfortable cruise or dial in an ultra-sharp, aggressive response for spirited driving, this controller puts that choice at your fingertips.
