became business partners after leaving another tuning company together, both feeling somewhat disillusioned with the industry in general and disappointed with the poor quality of workmanship and products that the tuning industry as a whole seemed to be happy to put up with. They both felt sure they could improve upon it greatly and those thoughts ultimately led to the creation of Motorsport Developments back in April 1999.
Starting primarily as Ford Cosworth and mail order parts specialist’s back in those days, we quickly learned that there was a new and exciting market opening up for custom tuning OEM management systems, so we turned our hand to that instead… investing considerable sums of money into the equipment and training needed to do this mapping correctly on a professional basis. We both had the necessary background for this work having done it for our employers in the past, but instead of just fitting other people’s chips into ECU’s we wanted to actually have the ability to produce our own maps so we could improve on what others were doing, and we proceeded to do just that.
Well we like to think that we are different because we all agree that we will always do things our own way. We won’t just use other companies bolt on parts in the hope they will work and we won’t just rely on other companies mapping of ECU’s and pray the management light will stay out and there will be enough fuel to keep the engine intact.
We are also looking forward to delivery of our Focus RS MK3 so that will be an interesting little project for development.
With our very own custom built 4wd rolling road cell featuring the very latest dyno Dynamics 4wd Dynotech Chassis Dyno and over 40'000cfm of cooling air, you can rest assured we are fully equipped to diagnose, measure and rectify any fault your vehicle may have. Even if it only occurs at 150mph!
Contrary to popular local belief, we don't just work on high performance cars, we are happy to work on any type of vehicle and have all the tooling and experience on hand to perform virtually any work on any vehicle.
Having specialised in the tuning market for many years, we also supply a wide range of performance tuning products to both trade and retail customers alike worldwide, operating a very successful web shop, Selling items such as "Turbosmart", "Bosch", "Denso", "Siemens", "Walbro", "Dimple" and "Performance is Looming" wiring harnesses direct from stock.
