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)
!!
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!!

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.
remember seeing a few about when I used to go there!!!

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.

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

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!!
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.

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.
,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

Graham was ok, I had no problems with him he just comes across as a bloke who wouldnt take **** 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!!
