Glad you found one mate.
Great ECU for the money, even if they have risen in price over the years.
Car will run better then on the OE ECU with the added benefit of the hand controller to keep an eye on things.

I have often thought of upgrading my Apexi to one of the later options but loosing the hand controller for me would be like loosing a limb.

Enjoy.....

An adapted phone holder and 2 self tappers poked through the small vent/grill on speedo/dash surround to the left of the steering column.
This surround comes out after removing the top 2 screws and giving it a tug. You can then mount the phone holder and refit.
