I doubt you would beat an M3 with that.

The throttle control decreases the throttle time even more than sport mode and with the throttle control the throttle would open almost violently upsetting the car and your rear tires will simply spin and the M3 would go flying to the finish.

VipAutoSalon, Im not having a go at you Im 100% with u... I just want to know what the LTS does to the car... and how to install it... what I said is that with or without this mod we should beat M3s
He is talking about me and my first reply.

Im sorry that i ruined the mod for you.

This is simply my preference that im about to say.

Ive been racing cars since the age of 16 and i love my lexus but the drive by wire connection in the ISF isnt accurate enough by a long shot.

Direct connection for throttle is so much more precise and i believe will make the ISF better because your foot controls how much throttle you want not by a computer.

and yes i do have experience with the LTS and while racing the throttle settings in the LTS (not including economy) make the throttle too ambitious.

Take for instance easing the throttle smoothly in your foot as your apexing a turn. in a direct connection throttle you can precisely add throttle to not interupt the distribution of weight between the rear and front but with the drive by wire and the LTS in any of the sport modes the throttle is too sensitive and does not follow a linear rate compared to the position of the pedal.

Like i said im not dissing the LTS im just saying for what i use the car for it is not recommended for racing.

For street use it is a fun little device though and passengers are always wowed by the ISF in the LTS sport modes.

So im sorry dude for any trouble ive caused and i just wanted to clarify, which i probably should have done in my first post

LOL I was asking for that, haha :D
Im right now trying to figure out how to change the throttle to direct connection. In older toyotas and lexuses they engineered both into their throttle bodies. Drive by wire as the main but if the drive by wire actuator went out then the direct connection would kick in. In the past with those throttle bodies all you did was disable the actuator but in the ISF they didnt put a direct connection at all due to toyota's drive by wire neve breaking down once so?
