Excellent. Just fitted the ppp to my sti and the done the geometry with the prodrive springs well chuffed with the results. Although I would have been better to have told me the car would smell of petrol for a bit, then I wouldn't have rushed back through the following morning to get the smell checked out
. Other than that Great.

Palmers vs Hexham
Palmers are first class. Bought last two MY02 WRX & MY04 STi off them. No problems with a test drive even stayed late on a Sunday for us to Test drive their demo model. Servicing no problems courtesy cars available . Good Trade in prices compared to Hexham IE . £3500 more given for a My01 DBM Sport than Hexham were offering off an 02 WRX. 1 Yr old DBM Sport was worth £ 6000 according to Hexham . Got £9500+ off Palmers.
Definetly worth travelling to Palmers

Errr.. not your "normal" Scooby dealer by a long chalk 
OK, you have to pay the normal Scooby Dealer rates for labour but this is offset in a major way by a bunch of blokes with cars on their minds
They look after quite a number of the local scoobs including imports / grey imports like mine with over 300 BHP and there are a lot of very happy customers AFAIK...... I'm booked in soon for a 3" cat back exhaust from Revolution Motorsport.
Just ask for Ian Armstrong......

STI 05 Richie?
Had all my service's done at Palmer's, never had any complaints and make a change from the usual car dealers who give you an endless list of things that your car needs doing.

Nice car - saw it last time I was at Palmer's just before Christmas.
3-0 is nothing - I'm a bigger kid now at the positively ancient 3-2
