Is this still going ahead, what dates are we looking at, 26th or after would be great for me, had a look at the new premises last week and looks alot better than the old place, much easier to get to, and alot bigger.
Definately up for this if 26th or after, only 20 mins away from me.

Thanks for keeping me on the list 
Just tweaked the timing to suit the uprated ECU and it's now flying. Looking forward to another power run
Cheers,
Squizz

I'd be up for this... 
And as I work down the road, and finish at 7am on Saturdays, i'd be perfect...
I could be the 'control' element with my bogo standard mota..

Mine isn't far off standard
I'm guessing from the user name and work proximity to PowerStation, do you work for Wincanton? I work in Tewkesbury as well, on the industrial estate opposite the cold store.

Well I can let you know how things are going on Tuesday as I left my current job to start at Powerstation on the 29th March.
I could well be the new "intermediary" for PS over the coming years (if they give me access to an on-line PC at work that is.....

Was wondering about getting the ALK, does it effect the ride height??didn't notice any difference in ride hight, had the lot done together ( drop links, anti roll bar and alk) , the alk needs a geo change so you might as well do it now
- I love the handling of the car, I remeber a good post by edcase saying it wasnt worth having till well over 300bhp and to be honest my driving skills aint all that but I can tell you it did stiffen up the feeling of the steering

looking through the box I found my old dyno sheet from power station saying 260/270
wish I kept up with dyno days to see what each mod had done to the power
my car should be mapped with its new turbo next week (a baby vf35 ) if I knew what was happening with work I might have put my name down for the shootout

But noting what Edcase says i may not bother anyway. Thanks for the info though
wouldn't like to fit it my self with out a ramp as Im sure you have to play with the sub frame - but im crap at these things

ALK just needs a pry bar put behind the lower wishbone, so that you can lower it enough to slide the ALK bracket on the rear end of the wishbone, add a washer and swing on a 24mm spanner (plus the two bolts that secure it to the floor) and that's about it.

Which day??
I see all these faces but no one knows me.
See anyone in a Blue 555 top instead of the customary black "Powerstation fleece" and "combats" ???
If so it was me
Dyno room isn't ready yet, I'ver been doing the ducting for the fresh air intake today.. still a long way to go.

Congrats on the new job Fuzz, sounds good, when do you get the T25 company car
Are PS going to be doing a new line in giant intercoolers, turbos, etc. now?
