Cheers Rob - How do i know what bit type i need??
 
Some say 16bit and some say 8bit - I have a 1992 Type R1 - So what would i need?

[Kevin]

Upto 1996 = 8 bit
After 1996 = 16 bit

[RobbieRX-7]

Just get a power fc that fits a 1992-1995 fd. All power fc\'s are 16 bit. It\'s only the stock mazda ecu which is either 8 or 16 bit. I got mine from here http://www.nengun.com/apexi/power-fc-hand-controller

£322.41 fook That is Cheap mate :-) - people are payin £450 on ebay for second hand ones!

[RobbieRX-7]

I paid £380 for mine about 8 months ago. They have come down in price since then but there was no waiting list and it took 3 weeks to get here. Still it was the cheapest place on earth at the time

I paid £420.55 for mine all in. Brand new with full tracking and insurance and delivered to my door. Bought it off US ebay, but it was sent directly from Japan.
Took 3 weeks, but heck saved me a few quid.

£600?!?!?! I never knew these were so expensive???
 
I got mine brand new and shipped to my door for £380!??!? :Viking
Fair enough it took me 3-4 weeks to be delivered but still....

£420?!?!?! That\'s crazy?!?!

Yeh it looks like it now !..... but at the time I bought mine there were rumours of Apexi going into liquidation and all that and that was the best price I could get at that time.
The point of our posts is to show other readers that the price is ultra variable and that if you do look further than rip off Britain you can get a much better deal.
My car struggled to get passed the Lambda emissions part of the MOT so I thought I better replace the O2 sensor. All vendors I\'ve visited in the UK are charging £114, bought a new Bosch replacement from the US for £70 delivered. There were some cheaper but went for a known brand.

Oh of course, and I admit my post may have come over a little harsh.....
(I did try to edit :Laugh )
 
I was just so shocked at how much are being charged for them!
I also bought mine when the Apexi rumours were in full swing as were the ones about getting \'dodgy stock\'....
 
Definately hunt around fella.....especially with the exchange rate @ 2.02....

[Paul1982]

I\'d pay up to £400 - and i have seen then cheaper lol but £599 is just so shocking. I know they are now harder to get hold of but 1/3 of the price more?
 
:-) If Mazdarotaryparts are able to map it aswel in with the price then i\'d do it??

[Mazdarotaryparts]

If you think these are dear I paid £850 from one of our Rotary tuners for my first Apexi PFC before my company was formed, without the commander!.

Also be warned that we have sold Apexis to 2 customers who have lost their monies abroad, one lost money via Japan and the other Australia

God how I hate that expression, all be it slightly true
"look further than rip off Britain you can get a much better deal"
We could all save money if everyone fiddled the tax, like most do by importing as a gift etc, which is half the reason imported goods are cheaper than UK supplied.
Every country has it taxes, you wont work for the same money as a guy in china and will want to sell your car when finished with it at UK prices not what its worth in Japan.

Its a vicious circle my friend, and a converstaion that could go on for ever just like the great oil debates.
