I'm interested in the Tickford 400kw tune - has anyone had it installed on their car yet?

I’ve been scoping out the Tickford tune too! I like the idea of retaining some sort of warranty... even if it costs $2700 just for the ECU tune.

Only problem I have is that I’ll have to travel from Brisbane to Melbourne to get it done, and I’ll have to hope that the ECU won’t need a reflash in the future...

They have a workshop in Sydney too.

Maybe just check the actual rwkw output.

Yep... seems like a big call but hey they have been working with Ford for a long time so I trust their claim.

I’ve been doing little mods here and there which shouldn’t affect the tune (cosmetic mods, oil separator, bonnet struts etc).

The plan is to have a dyno before and after, but I am really liking the idea of keeping it under a warranty of some sort for peace of mind.

Tickford is a well known and trusted name, and the thought of having a build number suits me too.

Heck, I’m already half sold on the tune based on the fact that I modeled my paintwork after the car they use in their pics .

Below is some pics of the custom stripe kit I’ve installed, with the idea of paying homage to the Shelby style, with a bit of Tickford influence. The last pic is the Tickford car I stole some style cues from

A thinner stripe was used in order to compliment the 2018 style bonnet vents.

I hope it works out for you. I know someone who got a refund when it didn’t make power.

Aubrey,
Was that on the 360 power pack for a 15-17. I got that and I have to say that reading the general comments going around and the lack of figures available I feel that I didn't get what I pained for. I had it done when I first got the car so didn't really get a comparison.
Would be interested in any suggestions how to go about perusing the issue?
Thank you

It was an 18 that did not make 400.

Aubrey,

Thank you for the reply.

Do you know if it was an automatic or a manual. cause i just noticed on their website. they have revised the auto power to 375 kw and the manual stays at 400kw.

It was an auto

 

[Aubrey]

I didn't know re auto/manual (Matt has since clarified) and I also saw that they had revised the output claim as well. Hopefully all good!
