There's one in Tewkesbury about 2.5 miles from Powerstation: Go straight over the M5 @ J 9 and head into Tewkesbury on A438, about a mile/mile-and-a-half after the motorway turn right at roundabout (A38), where road bears left over river, go straight on into Bredon Rd. Shell station is on your right.

I'm going on Friday as well for 4 wheel alignment @ 11.00am, will be filling up in Newport at the shell garage just off the M4 before you go through the tunnels.

See you there.

got there a bit late so missed you in the end - hope you enjoy your freshly set up car paul? also does anyone understand the print out you get after a RR session? apart from the the obvious bits i don't really understand it!

Fair play to PP - as the car didn't need tweeking got the RR for £50 - not too bad i thought

no worrys mate, how was your journey up - mine was horrendous!! A449 @ raglan blackice for about a mile and dodgy in other places.

Car has been transformed - I am well happy , lot more confident in the cars ability now and have put it through its paces a little today.

Good to hear you had a good day and that your car is kicking out sufficent bhp to say the least . What have you had done to it????

i had a works do yesterday/last night in birmingham so i stopped in at PS on the way home so the drive was fine for me. Having said that i had a seriously sideways moment on the ross on wye roundabout on the way back

As for the car not too much really - its a jdm sti so its got the twin-scroll turbo, equal length headers and uprated bottom end as standard. the only engine extras have been a full Milltek exhaust system which took all the cats out and replaced it with a high flow sports cat and re-map - oh and a sti filter (cheers matt!)
