Not posted anything in a while, but the tuning certainly hasn't stopped smile So we have three choice Coupes to mix it up a little, well actually one is a Bravo with a 20vt conversion!

First up we have a lovely Coupe 20v VIS. This one belongs to Ed, and he was looking to turn it up a notch. So we built a custom 2.5" cat-back exhaust coupled with a Stage 1 remap.

Unfortunately dyno was out of action last month, but absolutely no question this one is as sharp as they come with a couple of seconds now knocked off the 0-100!

Next up we have Joe's "Francophiled" track Coupe. It's still road legal, but with a cage and track orientated ride, Joe was looking to go a fair bit quicker than before. The engine is stock standard, but with a few choice modifications the performance is more than a little bit pokey! We introduced our PowerUltra+ hybrid turbo, something that I can't say enough about, coupled with a custom 3" exhaust system that easily passes the trackday noise limits.

Boost is just 1.35bar, but it holds this strong pulling all the way to 7200rpm. Take a look at our Facebook page for more pics. You can also see our race Coupe in the foreground of one of the pictures, but more on that later!

Finally we have a fantastic Bravo HGT with a 20vt engine conversion. This belongs to Justin, and he really has done a fine job on this. Last year he added one of our PowerPunch hybrid turbos, and coupled with a 3" exhaust system and a Stage 2 remap last week, it has resulted in a very potent 300bhp Bravo that will no doubt surprise a few road goers.

Find out a little more on Facebook, and while you are at it check out Sabre Tuning, which is the sister company to FC Performance specialising in Fords smile I will be adding a fair bit more on our diesel tuning too, a couple recently have even got me excited!

Thanks for the upgrade Leighton your work along with Country Cruisings work has allowed me to be quick on track now!
Its still good on fuel (low boost 1.150) on a run. The same as before.

On track its up there with some nice machines.

Last weekend i bedded in some Carbotech XP10 front pads on national roads. Its dam quick and not for the faint hearted.

Happy.

If I make it to Spa Joe, I will be very pleased to take a passenger ride!

Yes Joe's car Phil, the torque delivery is just perfect for the Coupe allowing maximum traction with a a very broad and sustained powerband.
