Default Does Curtis still work for AST/Powerstation?

Guys,

Anyone know if Curtis still works at Powerstation for AST?


Looks like a need my shocks serviced/rebuilt and he did a top job a few years ago.

What kind of shocks are you looking to have serviced?

I've been looking for someone who can do the late V5/6 STi classic red dampers...

My guess is they would be AST shocks

No idea about Curtis though, haven't been to PowerStation for ages, but yeah nice bloke, did a four wheel alignment and bumpsteer mod on my old classic.

If he's not there then he could be working at Litchfield's as I know he set up his own workshop in the end (also near Tewkesbury) rather than using PowerStation for all the Type 20 / Type 25 type work.

Could I ask for a quick feedback on your bump steer mod you had fitted. Presumably this is the rack shimming mod Powerstation is known for?

Anything you could give would be great, it's a rare modification few have done

Thanks all for taking the time to reply.

Haven't been to Powerstation since about 2009.

Curtis knows his stuff I must admit and goes to show by travelling from Junction 1 M3 to see him.
