I dunno where you are in Kent?.

I just took mine to Scoobysports but my mate takes his Supra to TorqueIC in Ashford, i think!.

Having said that, any garage with a competent petrol head should be able to do the things you want,

Mail me if you need more help.

Edited to say that there is a 4wd rolling road in Newington, on the A2.

Paul, cant remember off had but it is called BD engineering. I am thinking of organising a RR day there. I always took my Mk1/2 escorts there when Carbs were in, but never had the need with ECU'd cars.

Question

I'm looking for a reputable, cheap(ish) garage in any of the above locations that will do the following to my MY95 Jap WRX:

1) Rolling road tune/power test (Road dyno said 257BHP last month)
2) Front brake disc upgrade (keeping standard calipers for now
as funds do not permit an upgrade!) Which discs/pads?
3) Lowering springs and laser alignment of wheels (which springs?)
4) 'Winter' service inluding full oil flush and fill up with Motul
(if that's the best for my car?)

Should I just bite the bullet and go to Power Engineering?
Would Abbey (who are a lot nearer) do the work on a scooby?

Thanks, Paul.

Cool

Barretts of Canterbury, just won British Rally Championship (Gp. N) again with David Higgins, knowledge second to none. tel. 01227 864444 and ask for Phil Venn in the Motorsport Workshop, he will sort your car out.

I'm in the Sidcup area, right near the A2/M25. What's the numbers/reputation of these companies?

Thanks, Paul.

Paul, amost other things they have done to my car, they made my front mount inter-cooler for me.

They dont have a rolling road, but it depends what you want them to do for you.
