Hi,
I am a new member - have just returned to Scoobyland after 3 years in a Volvo (OK it was a T4 tuned by Power Engineering to 260bhp/280lb/ft!).
Now running an Sti VIII with stage 1 conversion.
With a 45k service approaching I am trying to find someone in Kent (I live in Ashford) who I can trust with the service.
Any suggestions - I don't want to get ripped off only for the engine to blow up 2 weeks later!

Question

If you're running an STI 8 (I assume that's what you mean by VIII), why would you not want to service it with a dealership, or is it an import ?

I guess we're talking about a V3?
