Tsl Motorsport??
 

My uk 2000 classic was mapped by tsl and has a tsl sports cat fitted.

I'm trying to contact them about the cat but the website is closed??

Anyone know what happened to them?

They shut down years ago mate!!!;)

Shame as I quite liked TSL, and the cafe around the corner!!!:thumb:

Im after a TSL exhaust for a classic if anyone has one for sale.

Thats a shame
Ive got a new age one for sale

TSL: killed by the attitude of their owner.

Graham by any chance???;) Yeah he was a bit hit or miss, he did come across quite aggressive sometimes if he didnt like what you said, especially when I was new to Impreza's back in 2003 and i had not a clue(a bit like now):D!!

Funny as Graham tried to have a go at me when I asked TSL to fit some lowering springs to my car, when he gave me a price he included geometry set up etc, which I said I didnt want, he then gave me a lecture that I cant fit lowering springs and not have the geometry set up afterwards!! reason being I was changing the tyres and wanted the geometry doing another time. But he refused to fit the springs!!

Were these the guys that did the 333bhp conversion?

Was it Trouser@TSL who "did" the 22B?

Hawkeye D these did do the 333bhp package, Tsl333 which is fitted to my blob sti. They're still open but don't deal with subaru's anymore, only classic cars now from what I've heard.

That was sometime ago!!!;) think i remember seeing that on here when I first joined in 2004!!:thumb:

Is it classic Saab's by anychance???:wonder: remember seeing a few about when I used to go there!!!

Yes it was
TSL ...well that is name from back in the mists of time

Oh well, that's that then!!!

If it is the full system it is only a tweek on 1 of the back box hangers that stops it fitting . . .

Not sure if it's just Saabs mate.

Try Carnetix in Melton Mowbary.Glen and Becky who own it use to work at tsl...

Trent Saab Ltd IIRC

graham was always friendly to me and always gave me a great service. That was when I had first scoob 1999-2002 and I traveled 180 mile round trip ;)

Went there once for a re-map when it was either Paul Blamire or Richard Bulmer doing the mapping depending on the day!
I found Graham fine - may have had something to do with us being of similar ages and him originally coming from my part of the country!

I drove a blobeye sti brought brand new by a good friend he took it to tsl for the tsl 333 package , don't know if this was the true hp but it was a massive improvement from standard.thinking about it now we both think it was a overpriced package compared to what could be done now but back then in 2003 we had little subaru info and trusted tsl as they were quite big in japanese tuning mags

I have the 333 upgrade
 

I have the TSL333 upgrade - the previous owner got it done about 5 years ago. It has been a great drive and I have often wondered if they still exist if I needed help.

EVO magazine timed the TSL 333 at 13.6 seconds on the drag strip.

My 333 bhp WRX managed 12.6, throw in a corner and speed bump and it might have been a different story though.

You did a 12.6 in your WRX Matt??? You should mention it more often mate, as I think you come across quite modest with your achievement, if it was me I would mention it on every thread that I went on, and to back it up Id post up a couple of video's from You Tube to really show that a WRX can do 12.6!!:D

Excellent !!
 

Thats interesting to know - I havent done a 1/4 mile yet but I do know my blob running with this conversion takes care of most challenges on the road ;)

12.6 on a cold damp track with just 300lbft and after parking in a muddy field. There's a vid on youtube of a 316lbft Spec C getting 12.8 in ideal conditions with a race driver.

There's not so many "get an STI instead" comments made since my discovery about the WRX's monumental power efficiency advantage.

I really can't get it across just how much faster a WRX is than the STI.

...the 437bhp 390lbft RCM STI only managed 12.5!!!

:lol1:

I thought Graham was a nice bloke actually, I always got on with him anyway, always said hello and remembered my name. I had my first Blob WRX mapped by Richard Bulmer there in 04, cat back exhaust and fuel pump made a hell of a difference to the standard 225bhp even Graham was impressed how well that one went, took my Type R there too, he always gave good advice and let me have a nosey round and sit in his classic Rally car, which was quite an honour apparently. :lol1:

My first Subaru Specialist:),Graham was alright you just had to know how to deal with him.One thing I know for sure they could do a "proper" four wheel lazer alignment:thumb:Colin was OK also.SJ.

Graham was ok, I had no problems with him he just comes across as a bloke who wouldnt take sh1t from anyone, I guess if you had a problem with there work you would see the other side of him. Lucky most the work they did on my cars where spot on!!!

Richard Bulmer mapped my Turbo 2000 back in 2003/04 and did a cracking job, found him very helpful and full of knowledge especially as I was 20 years old and clueless about Subaru's!! When I went back to TSL for another remap they said he had left but didnt tell me he had set his own company up, eventually I found another mapper, but still to this day I was most impressed with his mapping on any of my Imprezas ive owned!!

Trouser was a nice lad, Graham was aggressive and rude.

Doesn't matter WHAT he knew better than you did, that's no way to run a business...as we can see from where they are now.

Always remember the uproar when Trouser did what he did to the 22B :D
