Default FB Tuning

Took my car in to Rich at FB Tuning yesterday to have a map tweak carried out.

While there he popped in a clutch and a downpipe for me.

He did a great job for me, the map had felt a little flat at times and with the fitting of the downpipe a tweak was needed.

I now have more power than traction and it pulls as well in 5th and 6th as it does in 2nd and 3rd.

To say I'm happy is an understatement

Approaching 88mph for the first time was interesting, fortunately Rich wound down the flux capacitor actuator so it wasn't too much of a shock.

It was quite funny amusing when he commented upon my brakes being sharp, I thought they weren't working very well, just goes to show that you get used to things quite quickly.
