Walkinshaw Performance

It will be interesting to see if you can retain your Holden warranty with these enhancements.

There is definately potential in this.
No manufacturer is doing this. The only thing with 4cyl are the Jap cars, but its the owners who have access to a huge range of products. If they can see that we are deprived (which we are), and can help us out, well then they'll open up a whole new market for modifiers.

It has become popular in Europe and the UK this idea. look at the VXR Performance centre and Thorney Motorsport Services. Thorney in the uk has just been appointed as a Vauxhall Factory back service centre. The offer 3 years warranty on all there mods carried out and the Stock Vehicles that are worked on there are covered under Vauxhall Warranty. If the Walkinshaw Performance centre have the same sort of warranty on offer this is going to be that is special and going for there mods is going to be something hard to pass up.

Yes it will be very hard to pass up indeed if no factory warranty is affected.

Just reading the about us page. The C.E.O of Walkinshaw Performance is Chris Payne.This is the man that Started the Ball rolling with the HSV VXR Astra. Im sure this company is going to very Successful. I believe that Walkinshaw Performance is what was in a Sydney paper a few months ago. With the names that im seeing and the Credentials listed under there names and past history with HSV or HRT i can see this idea talking off rather well.

Yeh probably was Walkinshaw you read about in the paper, it's been running for a couple of months now, first releasing a fully race prepared Clubsport. Hmmm I wonder what Ron Harrop thinks of Walkinshaw Performance...

STI are very successful in cornering the Subaru market with authorised go fast bits that you can use to upgrade certain aspects of your WRX and maintain your warranty.

If Walkinshaw gets up and running under the same guise then it'll be a big win for the consumers.

Lets hope that its how it will be. Even if they offer there own warranty i would still go with the products.

More Info from Walkinshaw Performance.
I sent an e-mail last night to Walkinshaw Performance. This was the response i just found in my e-mail.



Shaun,
Sorry no parts for the TS,but watch out for some upgrades on the VXR !

Regards
Walkinshaw Performance.

doesnt really matter, as alot of the engine upgrades will still most likely be able to be used on the astra G turbo

Shaun, just from our debate earlier on... lol. I contacted HSV and we were both kind of right. Holden did buy out HSV in 2002 from Walkinshaw, but Walkinshaw has since bought it back.
