TSL have taken my car?
Tripped up to those lovely lads at TSL and picked my STI up.
It's a Black STI MY05 with ppp.
Work done :-
TSL Phase 5 handling pack ( pro drive springs, strut brace, arbs and alignment)
Braided Hoses
Ferodo DS2500 pads
TSL Panel Filter
TSL pulse exhaust system
Geometry Fast Road Settings
TSL 333 Remap
So we go out in the car and I say to Graham er... this isn't my car what have you done with my car!!! Absolutly fantastic transformation, the car pulls like a train really low down on the rev range and keeps on going all the way up to the red its rather stunning when compared to the ppp, the suspension and handling tweaks have stopped all understeer and you really can push it through the bends, it's an absolute joy to drive now.
Interestingly we mapped in on Esso super plus 97 ron aswell. My nearest optimax shell is just too far away to be convenient, and Graham was even surprised I think how it mapped so well. As he said though fill it with optimax and it will re learn the ignition and you should get a little better performance.
Like to thank John and Graham for their service it was first rate, specially after my aggro with the wheel unlocking nut that my kind subaru dealer (days of chelmsford) forgot to put back in the car!!! I spent Friday driving up to Notts and then came home livid as no work could be done!!! that's another story though
The lads rearranged the work for Monday which was great as I had put them out...TSL are truly superb and I can heartily recommend them to anyone, brillant car lads just brillant

How did you find the brakes with the pads and hoses?
I've got those pads sitting in the house, front & rear, waiting to go on. Plus i think dynamix is getting a braided hose GB, so i'll take some of them.
Interested to know, as i've got the rest of the work done that you have pretty much, but the brakes i feel let it down now.

Let's just say I tested the brakes down from 80mph to a stop and they are almost gut wrenchingly strong now
...only downside is of course I now do tend to drive somewhat ahem quicker

I had my car done 2 weeks ago at TSL. Fantastic bunch up there. John and Graham were very good and also Paul from Zen Performance.
Had the tsl333 and also bought a new set of tyres (Michellin Sport 2 tyres) very good.
Wanted to have the laser alignment done but they ran out of time.
