Default Powerstation Customer Services

Returned from another pleasurable trip to Powerstation yesterday, having had my 40k mile service done.

Each time I return from there my appreciation of a professional, private, specialist garage increases.

Another "thank you" for plenty of advice and information...it's also nice to find an outfit that doesn't swear at its customers

Ian - £198 inc. VAT. That covered 2 hours labour, engine flush, oil, spec c oil filter, dot 5.1 fluid, a couple of other sundries + VAT.

Phil - I asked Rich at PS whether you need a remap following the fitment of a decat downpipe to a classic and he said "no", it isn't necessary but can be beneficial.

If I change my downpipe and uppipe on my bugeye, it's probably worth an hour on the dyno to get the most out of the decat.

Not yet Chris, waiting for the downpipe to be delivered, hopefully early next week!!

Then I need to save for the uppipe, labour and dyno (~£500 inc VAT all in )

You planning anything for yours at the mo'? Shame I couldn't make the last meet, how did you find it?

I've got Eibach's on mine and I rate them. They do creak a bit on the rear due to them not quite being a snug fit in the housing (IIRC) but they are easy to live with every day.

I'm not sure whether they are, I doubt it though. They do all the prep, servicing and warranty work for Litchfield Imports though, mapping them for UK fuel when they're delivered from Japan.

They also do all the T20 and T25 upgrades, etc. VERY capable people.

Worth checking first though if you're still under warranty, you wouldn't want to jeaporadise that I imagine.

Been up to Powerstation today to get Nova rally's AST tweeked, great bunch of lads,

Talk about very professional and what they don't know about Subaru's isn't worth knowing
