Apparently they purchased a couple of these kits, fitted them, but they wouldn't work, so they got returned to Mountune. The kits are $2,500 and take the car from 120hp to 165hp, which would make them a surprising little car to have a crack at, at the odd traffic light.

Just had a chat with our local boys who have a Dyno and tune Falcons all day. They sounded really excited about having a crack at one of these cars.
So I might have a chat about what they can achieve without toasting the 5 year warranty.

The other weird thing they do over here is fit a front and rear bumper from 3dCarbon, but they don't fit the side skirts. I sent an email off to 3dCarbon to see if I could just purchase the side skirts (as they only have the whole kit on their website) and got a pretty blunt "Nah" response.

I haven't had a proper dig around on the forum yet, but if anyone can point me to a thread about getting a couple more hp out of the 1.0 it would be much appreciated.

Nice one! I'm astounded that the ECU is different; it's essentially the same car, after all. It's not like it's US vs EU ST models, which are different in many ways...

If there is a way to upgrade, though, I'd highly recommend it, as - as much as I despise Mountune now because of their service, which is non-existent - their products are brilliant.

There has to be a way to make it work, whether it's via that channel or another option. I'd love a steer of a 1.0L jobbie because everything I've read about them is massively positive...
