A45S - known to be the most powerful 2.0 litre production engine! King of the UK hatchback scene?

This one came lovely wrapped 45s came in for some more power 😈 we fitted a Cobra Sport Exhausts downpipe, paired up to a Cobra catback which was present. We then applied our stage 1 tune which took this from an already high 416 bhp to a lovely 480 and from 500 to 620 Nm of torque!

We tweaked for the correct burble style for the customer, he didn’t want it to be over the top and wanted louder crackles than stock. After multiple revisions we found a lovely sweet spot!

This was a pretty quick car tbf! Not fun working on in terms of fitting the downpipe which is at the back of the engine on these 😂

McLaren 540c in da house 🙌🙌🙌

One of our good mates has the pleasure of driving his 540c a couple times a year when it’s not broken and in the garage for yet another warranty repair. But when it is working, this car is insanely quick!

We had the pleasure of tuning it, the ECU is located in the wheel arch, so wheel off, connect via bench and we have access!

Our stage 1 tune takes this from 525 BHP all the way to 620 BHP and from 540 Nm to 700 Nm of torque. With gains like that, it takes a rapid car to new heights 🙌

Me and Andy both had a quick test drive to see what the 540c is capable of and oh boy…. Yeah she’s quick! Super sharp handling, very firm break pedal, and not enough road to really get a good feel of what it’s capable of before you reach… erm.. 70 mph 😂

Beast!

Another Cupra 290 for some dialing in for our custom stage 1 tune!

We started with fitting a lovely Scorpion Exhausts // Red Power downpipe to this one, once fitted we took it out onto the road for some before tuning logs to ensure car is healthy on stock power.

Once health check passed, we put our tune on and started logging! We finished the tune on 1.6 bar of steady clean boost, tidy wastegate duty, strong high fuel pressure, no ignition withdrawal in the high rpms, throttle valve pinned open throughout and max intake temps of 35 Degrees! Which in result achieved us a healthy 381 bhp and 532Nm of torque!

BMW’s with locked ecu’s post 2020 are now tuneable as normal! Finally 🙌🙌

Quality oil services performed on this nippy little S1 with an uprated Sachs clutch and stage 1 tuned by us!

As you can see, we’re using a mixture of quality oils, Millers performance grade oil for the engine to help offer great lubrication for the tuned engine, and genuine oils for the Quattro system.

We also removed the haldex screen pump and it was very very dirty, we always take them off when changing the oil as it’s just 2 bolts, quick clean up, and the haldex will be working flawlessly!

The best method to look after your tuned vehicle is to perform services using quality oils at correct intervals!

Aston Martin Vantage in for a bespoke exhaust enquiry, customer wants to alter the mid section for abit of extra sound and performance. With it being an Aston Martin of course all the available systems out there have Aston tax snuck in 😂

So we’ve had it up in the air to have a look what it looks like underneath and see what we can fabricate. Just after abit of extra noise nothing too crazy. This being fitted with an AMG v8, it’s got a lovely growl to it already, but foot down giving it some, the noise tends to drown out a little bit. So let’s see if we can solve that 😈

Nice brake upgrade for this 220d xDrive! Customer opted for a set of drilled and grooved discs along with new brake pads.

Not only do they look much better behind the wheels, but they also help keep the pads clean and can give a more consistent pedal feel, especially during repeated hard braking.
