I so hate to jump on a bandwagon.
I was there today and everything was first rate. Clearly they listened to Jez as tea was in hands well within 1 min of opening up.
I was having my AVO's replaced under Wortec warrenty and had decided to get the road response kit done at the same time. Quite nice to see Paul from Wortec taking an active part in the installation and settings (neutral camber at the rear!).
Discussing a potential upgrade was refreshingly honest and aimed at best bang for buck.
Great drive home - suspension now very quiet and direct.

12psi???
9 seems to make more sense and is quite cheap, in comparison. Some really good talk on what happens with the power/torque curve to the present Supercharger if I went 12 PSI ( it drops before the red line). I cannot justify much more cash on a three year old car and 12 psi would mean engine pistons at the very least, once engine is out where would you stop !?
I think we are all going to be playing with these cars adding the next new performance upgrade for as long as we have the car`s, can afford it and are breathing. Betcha if you go 9 and everyone else goes 12 you`ll be a non happy bunny.
Since when has sensible got anything to do with these cars.
A wise man recently told me that the pound cost of each upgrade should give the equivilent in smiles,, I like that.
My car owes me nearly 40,000 smiles but I recon i`ve had 10,000 already. (and met some nice people too)

I will be happy with 9.
For the time being - car was awesome on the way home, not a lot I can add to that!
Several big smiles on my face - look at at out of the window and it looks the same, only I know what the changes are, and they are very good indeed.

So right, I can throw KKK`s at the `ro` and Sophie`s non the wiser, but if I got the bumpers on M.B. rechromed well.........
Like it is a new car.
Very impressed with Picadors and Paul. Tune individual to the car with some tweeks designed for Sunday and some helpful hints.
Was not sure it would be noticable but it oh so is. SC feels louder and more powerful with it starting lower down the rev range or so it feels.
I cannot wait for Sunday to see whatit does although clearly no pressure to perform!

I got offered a cup of tea within 5 minutes this morning!!!!
Again, can't fault 'em. I needed to return to have more Friction additive added to the rear diff to stop the 'chatter' this morning plus an oil change for the gearbox. The gearbox oilchange was an unscheduled job and Roger very kindly fitted it in to their busy workload. Thanks.
note: The oilchange on the gearbox has transformed the gearchange completely - so much smoother and more direct. No more fighting to get it into 1st or Reverse gears and it really enhances the Rip-shifter. Should have done the oil when I had the R/shifter fitted nearly 2 years ago.
Roger: still the odd bit of 'chatter' - not as much so I'll take your advice and have some more added locally (don't be surprised if you get a call from the garage!)
