Powerstation are the dogs Danglies!!
Just wanted to say that after spending the day at Powerstation today getting the Stage 2 suspension set up that I am one happy chappy!! Really nice place they have there, very clean and tidy, and all they guys there are really spot on.
I had posted in the suspension section over the week with concerns that the springs would be too harsh and was still undecided when I arrived. Rich, who greeted me with a friendly welcome said that he had seen my posts and that I could take her out for a spin to see if the Eibachs were too harsh he would change them back off no questions asked.....you can't say fairer than that now can you?
Anyway, after 2-3 hours and after meeting some nice chaps in the waiting room my keys were handed to me and I was taken off to a stretch of road to try out the car....the road was quite literally rougher than a badger's **** but the car just sailed over all the bumps and had so much more steering feel, turn in and grip are totally transformed. They have taken a good car and made it brilliant the drive home was fantastic! Well chuffed
I will definitely be returning, once my breaks are sorted I can feel a remap coming on!!
Thanks so much guys.

Great too meet you all.
I would steer clear of the "two breaths from death" temptation buddy. Open circuit is bomb proof and when Im pushing myself into a ridiculous squeeze in a wreck or a cave I know what I would rather have on my back!! After all they are just another tool to get your kicks with, only really come into their own when you on the Trimix.
Having said that have you looked at the Halcyon unit? Solid DIR kit

DIR
Have you been assimilated yet.
Got my own ideas how it should be done.
That canister torch they swear by looks a crock of ****e to be honest.
Not a patch on my greenforce.
I will not be tempted by the yellow box of death in any shape or form either.
Take care, see you soon.

Assimilated......"GOOD JOB"
I had SO much fun when I worked out in Central America locking horns with DIR Divers as 80% of the guys I was teaching had previously learnt the "DIR" way and would not deviate from it...."Its American so it's got to be right" Brainwashed....Sheck Exley would be spinning in his grave
I agree that torch does look like and expensive paper weight, never seen one in the flesh though. I have dived with the Halcyon unit over in Mexico a bit, wasn't to bad, well built.
You intending on moving into Trimix this year?

Extended range is as far as I have taken it at the moment, certainly no desire to do Trimix "yet"...
I havn't run out of wrecks accessible with air..
Even if it means a hang of 60 mins.
Got any waterproof books lol
When the time comes............
Nothing really planned this year, just waiting to see where my Instructor brother gets a Job and I'll go there...
He's currently in Pattaya, that was an "interesting" Christmas and New Year I had !

Nice one, best way to go, its not pc but I actually like the buzz of narcosis. Seen some bloody funny things that people would do when teaching Extended. We had to use Trimix when teaching so the old noggin was clear.
Deco penalty with Tri is fairly harsh, smaller gas molecules so they go even deeper into tissues plus the greater pressure. We used to either take down one of the more "glossy" magazines or a cheap paper back, just tear out the pages as I read em We would tie them onto our shot line along with cartons of ribenna and some apples....anything to prevent falling asleep!
Is your bro a recreational or technical instructor?

Recreational, he's a bit behind me as I was the Cataylist for him learning.
he'll catch up soon enough.
Might drag him off to the Saratoga in Bikini to show him what it's all about.
