13.06.2008 - The season has started !
Firstly, we would like to start out by explaining why we have made no news updates in the past 2.5 months, this has been due to two things, firstly, the massive and dare we say "Global" success of our ST3 tuning system which has sold everywhere from the UK to Australia, Africa to Jamaica including sales to every continent on the globe, and secondly, the start of the 2008 Motorsport Season.
We have been working 7 day weeks to enable to us to complete this gruelling workload but the payoff has already begun with 4 pole positions and 5 class wins so far.
Usual updates will now resume along with information on all upcoming events and projects.
31.03.2008 - ST3 Launched by Chipped UK LTD
After several months of planning we have today launched the ST3, Chipped UK`s self tuning system giving the end user the ability to programme there own car quickly and easily at an affordable price.
This system is not like other switchable mapping systems that only allow a change between original and modified software, the ST3 allows you to store 2 modified maps on top of the original map giving you options like Power, Economy, Torque and Original in any combination of your choice.
Prices start from only £450 inclusive of VAT and come with a 12 month warranty.
28.03.2008 - New Partners !
Today we are pleased to announce that as of 26.03.2008 Harald and Wolfgang Heitmann have moved too the UK from Germany to join our development and research team.

Also, all remaps are now fully covered by our insurance, we believe we are one of less than a handful of companies offering this giving you total peace of mind.

31.12.2007 - The end of 2007 !
Well, what can we say ?, 2007 was a mixed year, lousy weather, a football season to forget and interest rates almost crippling the economy.
Putting that aside however, we had some major steps forward in the tuning industry with BMW EDC16 and VAG Siemens PPD both being able to be tuned directly over the cars diagnostic port meaning no need to remove the ECU.
Also, the launch of the long awaited Hybrid flashing system set to make waves in 2008.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our existing clients (and hopefully customers to be) for there support and wish you all a Happy New Year for 2008.
