Naw, I'm pretty good with my money. I just didn't think it'd be that expensive. I also didn't realize how great the difference was between $ and £ so it just came as a shock, lol. Although I reckon it makes sense since it's basically a plug-n-play standalone.

Meh, I had one. They're a b**** to do any real tuning with. They're fine for MAFS and injectors, but that's about it. Trying to tune the map with that little handheld thing is a pain. Apex really wants you to go to an authorized tuner and they have a special program they plug into the ECU and it will tune like a normal standalone. There was also another company that makes a thing that will do it, but I don't remember the name of it.

I can tell you from experience, that the stock tune on there (I think it's setup out of the box for stock MAFS and injectors, FMIC, intake, and turbo back 3" exhaust) is a DAMN good tune. It took me a LONG time to tune my standalone to perform the same way the Apex unit did.

Also found this site which has a plethora of CA18 custom parts. Of course all of it is all from our Europe kin in British Pounds, meaning it costs an arm and a leg, but they have some pretty kewl stuff. JUN cams and intake, Power FC, CA18 stroke kit (CA20 crank). Very awesome.
