My mechanic at Colony Ford instagramed this pic to me the other day.

[Image: 3C545707-059B-4FA0-B70D-12506998B6A1-295...69AE2B.jpg]

Came in with a bad tune, it was runing so hot the headers were glowing.

Looks to me like it hasn't been changed rims, body kit even the focus tuning sticker.

Wow...cool. We sold it to a guy in Burlington. Wondered where the car had gotten too. Thanks for the update.

Often these cars end up going into ford dealers and for some reason they reflash the ecu's not knowing any better... IIRC this happend with darkpuppets focus.

He's doing well,

I haven't talked to him since he posted this pic but I'll see him this weekend and ask what they did to it.

Thats the thing with dealers they are not an aftermarket shop that can tweak a tune all they can do is return to stock. If your driving a modded car going to the dealer is not the greatest idea. If he was out in burlington he should of went to Steeda.
