What PSW customers are saying
We were very pleased with the young crew that did all the work. Professional, courteous and helpful young men. They are a credit to your team at Perth Solar. Thank you very much.
From quote to installation the process was seamless. The communication was first class and the installation team of Rheice, Blake and Alec were fantastic very clean operators after the completion their clean up was excellent. Also the contact with Penny-Lee was exceptional she kept me informed at all stages. I would have no hesitation in recommending Perth Solar Warehouse to anyone.Many Thanks.
From the first enquiry I made on the internet we have dealt with people that have good knowledge and experience, which has resulted in minimum disruption to our day to day activities and a great result at the end. The installation was on schedule and the team have done a very tidy job and ensured we were comfortable with everything before they left, additionally the support that you have provided with information and schedule updates resulted in us having no surprises and assisted greatly with our setup to monitor the system performance.
We were aware there are many companies in the market place offering similar systems for a fraction of the cost. Tony Boscarello carried out the initial consultation and explained the product his company was offering and the benefits of installing market leading equipment. We are firm believers of 'You get what you pay for' and wanted a solar investment that would serve our needs for many years to come.
The service we have received from PSW has been of the highest standard, the workforce were professional and polite, the job has been completed on time to a high standard with quality materials and equipment.
A professional outfit that knows what they are talking about. Recently installed a PV system and is working well. The team were friendly and happy to answer all my questions. Would definitely recommend them.
Your help to sort my solar problem was something you should be proud of! All of my issues were handled with great professional service and my fried inverter was replaced with ease! I will recommend you to all friends and family.
I would be only too pleased to offer very positive reviews, and testimonials, for the Perth Solar Warehouse organisation.
I do not however have a Facebook presence (not at all) or Google affiliation under my own name. I do value my anonymity highly, hence not joining in the social networks described hereunder; so I can't offer anything of value via those mediums.
What can be offered however is a spoken or written testimonial, to as many potential customers as your organisation would care to forward. You already have my best contact number.
Indeed I have already spoken to a few couples, giving rave reviews, regarding Perth Solar Warehouse. It is sincerely hoped that these reports bear fruit for your company. The company deserves nothing less.
I have sent an email to Lanie Chopping of Consumer Affairs seeking information as to a forum that would carry recommendations from consumers. As we already know there is plenty of room for complaints and very little exposure for companies who do the right thing.
Perth Solar Warehouse would receive nothing but glowing recommendations from me as to quality product, quality performance, quality staff (at all levels) and true professionalism throughout.
Amazing Service. Our old inverter failed over Xmas/new year and PSW came to the rescue. We were able to talk through our issue over the phone, get a very competitive quote and have a new inverter installed within days! Thanks again to the team. Your customer service is brilliant and the new inverter is working a treat.
Very happy with the service so far from the salesman Tony the office lady Penny and the installers who did an awesome job and cleaned up after themselves throughly.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants quality solar inverters or panels. The response was quick and friendly. Given thorough understanding of the inverter and why product is reliable. Thanks awesome team.
PSW Energy installed my new solar energy return system yesterday. The crew who came out were a delightful group of young men, who were very professional, polite and explained everything very well. They even noticed that I had a small issue with a separate section of my roof and I was immediately contacted by Penny-Lee to pass on the number of someone who would help. I have no hesitation recommending anyone to employ the services of PSW Energy.
I needed some information regarding Solar Battery Storage, after speaking with Derek I am a lot better informed and feel more at ease in making a decision on which system to buy. Thanks, Derek.Regards, Peter.
Highly recommend PSW to anyone looking to install solar. Really happy with the sales rep Tony, Rheice and the other installers and even after 2 months of having solar and I've had questions I get prompt replies.
Thanks for the great effort. Excellent job by Derek McKercher and team, couldn't be more satisfied that the best possible job was done.
From start to finish I was completely informed the whole way and feel very confident with the high level of workmanship provided.
Professional, clean, friendly and super efficient. So happy, would definitely recommend! Thanks for the great effort, top job!
Very professional & outstanding customer service. I would have no hesitation recommending Derek & team if asked.
Wow, Amazing! I'm speechless. The service performed by Derek and the team was second to none. Thank you.
Excellent service from start to finish and beyond.
So happy we chose Perth Solar Warehouse
And the added bonus that like us who are new to it, your not left on your own after install.
10 out of 10 service. As a sparky myself I'm quite critical of other people working in my house. I could not have expected a better more professional service. Excellent knowledge and great work is done all around.
Professional provider from sales to installation.
I have been very happy with the entire process from keeping informed in the early stage to arranging and executing the installation. The only issue we had was that the internet cable was not correctly wired and had to be re-terminated. This was resolved very quickly and we now have a very successful solar power system. Apart from the cable problem I would have rated your service as 5/5. Many thanks.
I was very happy with the whole process. Tony was very easy to deal with. I liked that he is not a high impact sales type. He let the product sell itself. Jesse and the installation crew were 4 days ahead of schedule. They did a great job with the install and stepped me through the instructions afterward. Thanks also to Penny-Lee and Reema back in the office for taking care of the details and setting up the software. This really has been very easy.
I was impressed with Perth Solar Warehouse (PSW) from the first encounter. Most solar companies websites only have a 'Request a Quote' option which is annoying. PSW emailed me their Spring Catalogue which contained numerous concise detailed solar packages and prices to suit all budgets, very impressive. After selecting a quality system for the best price I'd come across; I was contacted in turn by the affable Penny-Lee, Jesse, Sarah and Derek who outlined each step of the process. They handled all the necessary paperwork for Western Power and warranties. Alec and two other installers arrived and duly installed my LG solar panels and Fronius Inverter. They were friendly and cheerful and worked well together on the install. They invited me to ask questions at any time. I received my 25 year LG warranty on the same day.
For quality, value and great service, I rate PSW as tippy top and would highly recommend them to anyone requiring a solar system. Choice, value, payment options, quality products and great admin and install staff. Well done team.
Excellent service from Neil and the team at PSW. From the first contact through to the installation and the aftercare has all been fantastic. I can't recommend them highly enough, thank you.
(via Facebook)
Great dealing with and will not hesitate to recommend others.
I couldn't be more impressed. From the first tentative enquiry through the selection and installation of our system the people at PSW have been thoroughly helpful and professional and their knowledge of their business is very impressive. Their service is comprehensive and seamless; handling everything from start to finish and keeping us informed along the way. I will have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone interested in installing a solar energy system.
Really friendly team and great customer service, we are very happy with the quality and the care taken to install the system.
Great service from both sales and installation crew. They were on schedule and were required to remove an existing system prior to installing the new system, a very neat and tidy crew. Product is very good.
Great service from the guys from Perth Solar Warehouse who installed our Fronius inverter and LG panels they did a very professional job. Hats off to Penny-Lee and Reema who also did a professional job of taking care of the Western Power/Synergy connection and accounts side of things for us.
Very happy with the entire service from the team at Perth Solar Warehouse and now two weeks down the track our new PV solar system is generating lots of KW for us.
When we changed over to NBN I struggled to re-enter the password. Rheice came by in his lunch hour and fixed it in 2 minutes flat.
Jesse helped me with fixing my Fronius inverter issue quickly and efficiently (Original supplier; defunct). Brilliant! Could not ask for more. Thanks guys for your help, it is really appreciated.
A few weeks ago I attended the open day at your Yangebup premises hoping to gain some information on the benefits and latest advances in solar power technology. You spent 20 minutes with my wife and I and we learned a lot.
Two days later, at your suggestion, I contacted Jesse Brown to discuss our individual requirements. Jesse was knowledgeable, personable and answered all my questions. He spent a great deal of time explaining the details to me and shortly after I signed a contract and transferred a deposit.
Today was installation day.
Richard Oliver and his 2 man crew turned up on time to install the system. From the get-go, they demonstrated their professionalism and clearly took a pride in their workmanship. The communication from Richard was excellent.
One of the crew found a defect in my air-conditioning ducting and fixed it without me even asking. Obviously happy to go the extra mile for the customer.
The work was completed quietly and efficiently. Richard gave a comprehensive handover before they left. Any mess was cleared up.
Your company was recommended to me by my brother in law. I owe him a beer!
Only the best professional service was given to us starting with the first phone call inquiring about their products. Jesse was very helpful and prompt with explaining and sending info. We were time poor as we were going overseas and wanted to have an Inverter installed ASAP. The electrician Rheece and his offsiders were friendly, efficient and patient when we asked questions. The fact that this was an insurance claim meant there was a lot of phone calls and emails flying backwards and forwards. The admin staff Penny and Lisa only reinforced what a great company Perth Solar Warehouse is and we have been shouting from the roof tops telling others. Thank you so so much we really appreciated every step you took with us.
Great service and good crew. Left the place spotless and explained everything at the end, the best gear on the market highly recommended.
Highly recommended, great service, fantastic business! Get all over it!
Exceeded my expectations with prompt, efficient and professional service. Would recommend them to anyone looking to install solar systems to there place.
Great Perth owned company. My experience was stress free, the job was done to my requirements, on time, even the follow up documentation i required came through right on time. Highly recommend these guys. 🙂
I'm so glad I got PSW to replace my broken inverter. They were very prompt and efficient in responding to my call for help. Derek was open and transparent in providing me quotes and a variety of choices for suitable inverter replacements. Prices were very reasonable, unlike another company I called earlier that wanted to charge me more than the price I paid (eight years ago) for my entire solar system, just for replacing the inverter! Penny is a delight to talk to, in arranging the installation date and settling the payment arrangements. Her laughter is infectious! Rheice did a great and clean job of replacing the inverter. Everything worked out well and I'm very happy with the team at PSW for a job well done.
June 2019 I had my upgraded system Installed by Richard, Dawson and Joel. They arrived early and took the time to explain the plan and ensure it aligned with our vision. They offered a good insight into the placing of panels and inverter. When the job was finished all panels lined up, it was a neat job, the operation of the inverter was explained and Before leaving they spent 5 minutes tidying up. Would highly recommend.
We were so satisfied with the prompt, reliable and honest opinions and work ethics. Great people skills, the job is well done. I would definitely recommend this Company to everyone. So happy with the results.
This company has set out to be the shining light in an industry that is full of cowboys, and they exceeded my expectations in everything they did, from price, answering questions, providing ongoing information, workmanship, timeliness in everything it's 5 stars all the was for PSW. PS. My systems power production has exceeded my expectations. You simply won't find a better solar company, it's not possible.
I had spent about a week to do my homework before I decided PSW to install our solar panels. We had installed 1.5kw solar system 8 years ago, luckily it lasted that long, but if not, I wouldn't have any idea where to chase for the warranty, as that company has disappeared. That's why it is important to choose a big and reputable company in the first place. That's what I thought. I have had several quotes, important to read the reviews from other people, that's why I had chosen PSW. Tony from the sales department is very friendly and efficient, he gives me a very honest quote via email, not bother me until I called him, best price from the beginning. He then came to my home talked to me, and we made the deal. Same time he talked to Penny-Lee, she said next week someone else has cancelled the installation appointment, so we were lucky to grab that opportunity. From our first conversation to finish, only 10 days! No hidden fees, they even removed my old panels for free! I have been told that the installation team will come between 8:30 to 9:00. On the day, their team arrived exactly on time at 8:30 am, Richard, Blake, and Dawson, three energetic young men, worked very hard, take their time to do an excellent job. Even not taking their lunch break! They finished at about 4 pm, tidy up everywhere, a perfect job. The team leader Richard suggested me to move the inverter to my carport to provide the shade. The previous one was next to the meter box, under the sun, the colour already badly faded. That meant extra work for the team, if he didn't say it, I wouldn't know it. That gesture shown they care about their customers. I am very impressed with the whole process, all the team members have done a great job.
Thank you so much for your prompt and friendly service especially Jessie who I have been dealing with. He was helpful and cheerful to deal with.
Dealing with PSW Energy was a pleasure from start to finish, sales, Installation team and Penny Lee a great experience their knowledge professionalism and friendly attitude exceeded our every need in understanding the whole Solar exploration.
Be sure to Go with these guys you will not be disappointed. Well Done! Keep up the good work.
Thoroughly satisfied with the installation. The technicians were professional and courteous on the day and did not leave until the job was complete well into the evening. They were happy to answer many questions through the day and adhered to safety best practices. The installation has performed fantastically with the first two days of solar power achieving double of our normal daily requirements. In addition, the team is prompt on email feedback and queries.
Great service especially from Jesse who took the time and effort to source and order the 3.5kw inverter from the manufacturer. Much appreciated.
Very happy with the office staff, site installers and product. Great advice and very helpful which made the whole solar experience easy.
I would highly recommend PSW, exceptional service and worry-free installation. I requested a quote for a 5Kw system, but Jesse informed me it would be an overkill after submitting my usage data. We opted for a 3.3Kw system and top of the range panels and inverter.
The installers had some bad weather during installation, but no problems, the job was done safely and in a few hours. All rubbish removed after the install.
Great job and service guys.
Speaking as someone that has just had my third solar installation since 2007, the first two were by National companies.
I cannot speak highly enough about PSW as a local Perth company from the salesman to the CEO. If you are serious about getting a quality product for the very best price (not the cheapest), as PSW (unlike many others) include a quality installation which they guarantee the workmanship for 10 years (most are seldom more than five).
Aftersales is seldom discussed when customers think Solar, however, there aren't many companies that actually have there own service department. PSW don't subcontract, they are all company employed. This means you aren't dealing with anyone except PSW for the life of your system.
If you also include Solar analytics to monitor your own system (highly recommended as it gives more data than most and can detect performance issues), PSW also keep tabs on it so that your installation performs at it's very best. They really care about you as a customer, and they don't charge the customer monitoring fees as some other companies do.
They only supply components that they know are reliable and respected in the industry, so you have trouble free solar power.
PSW had everything installed in just over a month from the day I decided to use their services. This included Synergy and Western power approval and even completed the warranties after the installation so you the customer don't have to worry about it. This was all done without fuss or delays which I have experienced on other occasions.
The install took two full days due to weather and size of the installation, and it was operational the afternoon of the second day. It is an east-west installation and currently generates power from 5.35 am till 6.40 pm.
There are many shonky companies selling and installing Solar that may, or may not be around in years to come (I am presently in legal action against one of them). I am glad that PSW is one of the few companies that give the Solar industry credit.
So when you have done all your research, got your best quotes from all the other Solar companies including National ones, give PSW a call and see what they can do for you.
I make special mention of the following:
Derek McKercher, Penny-Lee Griffiths, Jesse Brown, Rheice Shaw, Richard Oliver, Blake Pellington, Blake Collins, Alec Squire and Lisa James.
I have no association with PSW, and I have no ties to the solar industry, but if anyone would like further information, or discuss anything in this review, I give PSW permission to release my contact details on a case by case basis.
Advice with an error message on my Inverter during after hours was very much appreciated. Follow up email tells us this company is all about "service" and we were extremely impressed with Penny-Lee and her advice.
We shopped around as you do when making a fairly significant investment in your property and went with Perth Solar Warehouse after doing the comparisons and getting a recommendation from a trusted friend. The job the boys did on the install was first class. They were able to modify the install to suit our purposes (dividing panels between roof of house and roof of patio) when others said it wasn't possible. Whilst not the cheapest quote they were certainly competitive and the quality of the products, the tradesman, the admin staff and the follow up service can't be faltered and I have no hesitation in recommending PSW should you be considering solar at your place.
I must say that the Team you sent to do the installation were some of the most professional crew I have come across. The Boys were nothing short of fantastic. They knew there stuff, nothing was an issue for them, they made some invaluable suggestions regarding fine-tuning to maximize our investment, they were extremely courteous, and went above & beyond in even fixing some loose tiles on the roof!!!
They could very easily have just come and done the installation robotically but they didn't and for that we thank them. It was a most enjoyable experience.
Please pass on our thanks & respect to them for an amazing job, and please tell their manager that what ever he is paying them he should double !!!
Always nice dealing with professionals.
I did my research first so I knew what I wanted (REC panels, Huawei inverter & smart energy meter) I then looked for someone to install it, PSW seemed a good choice as they have been around for 15 years and provide a 10 year installation warranty so if I need assistance in the future I feel confident that they will still be around. My system was installed 7 days ago , only took 5 hours and that included removing my old system! everything is working well very happy with my new system.
From start to finish very happy and pleased with the crew fantastic work well done and on time.
Thanks to Tony Boscarello and you Penny-Lee for all the information and help given to me. Very happy to have done business with Perth Solar Warehouse and would recommend anyone to do so !!!
4 quotes and PSW got the job on my place over the others with glowing reviews and with good quality products. The system is working fantastic and the office team and install team are amazing with communication. Well done PSW, very happy customer here.
We would like to pass on our thanks to you and your team for making this whole process seamless and hassle free. From Tony's initial visit through to installation on Thursday everything was fantastic and we will highly recommend you to friends and family if in the market for solar, thanks again.
A big thank you to Penny-Lee for all your endeavors at Xmas, a time when most people were having parties, but you were helping us to see if the solar was working with your direction on the phone, which even though it was fruitless we thank you. The technician (Blake) who was sent out today was very prompt and helpful and found the solution to make it run smoothly again and was a very polite, well-manned young man who would make any Mum proud! A true after sales service, second to none with a star rating 5 out of 5. We thank you again.
PSW has been exceptional from the first time I enquired about solar, recommendations about different options and equipment, pricing, installation and after-sales service. They have conducted themselves in a very professional manner and supplied an outstanding system at the best price in Perth even though the system was installed 130km south from their workshop. They installed on the specified date and organised every aspect of the install and approval. I would recommend PSW to anyone thinking about solar, I shopped around and the competition just didn't cut the mustard. I couldn't be happier. Thumbs up PSW.
I would like to just say that we had our solar panels installed yesterday at my above residential address and I must say your team were very professional and did a great job. I would also like to take this opportunity to praise Rheice who from the moment I dealt with him on the phone was excellent, knowledgeable and gave me the best advice and products to go for. On behalf of my wife & I, we would like to thank your staff & installers for a great job and I have no hesitation in recommending your business to others.
Very efficient and helpful thanks for your expert service and advice.
PSW sales explained the worst thing to do is nothing, which was correct. Install was done in one day and very professional. Hot water heat pump was delivered on time. Follow up service was very good. Overall I am very happy with PSW.
Very easy to deal with, quick and knowledgeable communication, great technicians and the system is working a treat. Highly recommended.
PSW Provided excellent service in the installation of the solar units, the inverter, and connections to the energy provider. They took care of everything- and completed the work with care, speed and efficiency with the least interference to the household activities. Joel and his team Alic and Dawson - well done. Good work PSW. Keep it up!
Excellent service and communication from start to finish. From the initial conversation with Derek to the system being installed a week later (guys arrived early and despite being millennials were very thorough and polite and tidy) and the prompt and friendly service during and after from the quite excellent project administrator Penny, I cannot fault PSW. You'd be mad to purchase elsewhere.
Great service, great crew ..... slight hick up with the install but the service made up for it. I would recommend them to every one.
Thanks to the whole team and your fantastic service and for finding a solution to my unique situation.
Great job done with the installation and a fantastic German made solar PV system really producing the results now.
I am very pleased with the level of customer service I received from Perth Solar Warehouse. The quality of the products you provided as well as the high standard of workmanship are to be commended. I am very pleased with my decision to go with PSW.
Very polite and professional experience from the first phone contact through to installation. Thanks to Tony and all the team at PSW Energy. To the installers, thanks for your efficient and polite workmanship.
Thank you...Derek...Andrew....Reice and the delightful Penny-Lee. Your prompt attention to my needs replacing my Inverter was just wonderful....You sorted out my problems with the original inverter in a matter of three days.Thank you all sincerely, Frances Curran/McAullay.

True power is never having to use it!
The True Power inflicts simultaneous pain and pleasure on the user. An external observer can see black flecks or saa pass through the user's eyes. These flecks become more common with use, and are therefore taken as a sign of the addiction progressing. The True Power is far more addictive that the One Power, and once the saa appear, death and madness from overuse is believed to follow soon.

"Don't Worry, It's My Wife's Car!"
Dream Drive: '69 Superbee
The single-day show at Bandimere Speedway near Denver had been excellent, though the weather was somewhat overcast. The annual Mopars at Thunder Mountain had come off without any major hitches and, as car folks are prone to do, tales were being told as the sun fell behind the front range of the Rockies.
I was talking with Jon and Melanie King, who had come to the event with two cars. Jon had driven their pristine restored '68 440-powered Dodge R/T, while his better half was in the family's '69 1/2 Super Bee. The latter was the Ride of the Month in last May's issue of Mopar Muscle.
I had already lined up an A-12-type Plymouth for a Dream Drive, Smith Stokes' low-mileage '69 440-6 bbl Road Runner. However, that car really was no longer a street driver. Fresh heads, a reverse valvebody, and other changes made it fairly radical. I didn't get much more than a ride in it during a stop at Farmington Dragway in May, so that particular experience was postponed until we could get more track time. I looked at Melanie's machine while talking to Jon.
"You know, this car would be very cool to do one of those trips in," I suggested. "Hey, we could even say you guys lent me the one machine that would scare me enough to wet my pants!"
"When does your plane leave?" Jon asked.
"Tomorrow at 1 p.m.," I replied.
"Well, how about I just bring it over to the hotel and you take 'er out for a spin in the morning?" Jon said.
The '69 1/2 package cars coded A-12 have been covered in depth by Mopar Muscle in the past. This was the most legitimate street racer to leave Detroit during the musclecar era. Think about it-a huge functional scoop on a lift-off fiberglass hood; a 440 fueled by a brace of three Holley carbs; worked driveline parts that had previously been reserved primarily for the Hemi set. You didn't pick up too many street races in this one; people knew just what it was from the day it left the dealership.
In fact, reviews of these cars in the day had perceived it as more than just a go-fast machine. Publications such as Car Life praised it for its handling (relative to that era's other offerings) with the new suspension and wide F60 tires. Indeed, these tires made it necessary to use rims from Chrysler's police car package, and no other wheels were offered with the car when new. Car and Driver magazine even gave one to a trio of bootleggers in North Carolina for a gravel-spitting road test!
With this in mind, and the mountains so close, it stood to reason that perhaps it was time to revisit this idea and save the drag car stuff for the Road Runner. Initially, the idea was to drive to the former gold district of Central City, gaining an elevation of almost 10,000 feet. However, with the fast waters of Clear Creek in full spring rush at road's edge and the narrow pavement occupied by casino buses, Jon thought better of that idea. Instead, we hit a section of winding, climbing two-lane that was 20 miles south, near Morrison.
One thing the magazines had been unanimous in protesting was the braking system, which consisted of four 11-inch drums. As soon as I slid behind the wheel, I understood exactly why. Slowing this puppy down requires a good deal of foresight; you could push that left pedal with all your might, but the car was going to stop when it wanted to, not when you wanted it to. Moreover, the steering wheel was more of a rudder; it also took some getting used to. The rumble of the free-flowing exhaust filled the car as it idled out of the hotel parking lot.
As we drove onto the interstate, Jon gave me some details on the car. Rescued from the junkyard, its previous owner had never finished it and, as recounted in the Ride of the Month story, Jon and Melanie had opted to simply get it back on the road, battle scars and all. Since winter, however, the body panels and had been straightened and repainted (the couple owns an automotive business, King's Auto Restoration in Englewood), and the engine had gotten a mild cam, some transmission changes, and a set of BFGoodrich drag radials.
"Get used to it a little," he said with a grin. "Then drive it like you stole it!"
Monday morning traffic was heavy on the highway from Denver, so other than a couple of quick, full-throttle bursts, it was pretty hard to let the engine wind up. We exited the interstate, drove past the entrance to Bandimere Speedway, through the basically deserted town of Morrison, Colorado, and headed for the hills.
Except these weren't hills, they were mountains-real ones. The road was in good shape, but had turns and bends galore. Given the steering and brakes, not to mention the rocks and cliffs with a little foggy mist thrown in for good measure, I kept a tight grip on the steering wheel and stayed pretty near the legal limit as we went up in altitude. Body roll was minimal since I wasn't pushing it hard, and the car was well-behaved when running on just the center carb at 3,000 rpm. The rare air in Denver is said to account for an 18-percent loss in power. When a half-mile stretch of pavement opened up, I finally got a chance to wring it out, based more on Jon's laughing at my driving fear than anything else. After all, he'd told me point-blank the only thing limiting the car's ability was the size of the man's testicles who was driving it. At the first depression of the throttle, you can feel the engine labor for a moment, begging for fuel. Then those outboard carbs kick in. And even with the drag tires, the rear wheels were breaking loose at 50 mph. If it was losing power in the heights, you couldn't tell. The rpm level climbed in earnest, the front danced around a little, and with no traffic in sight, the centerline seemed to be as good as anything to use as a guide. Another 30-mph curve was coming, though, so easing off the gas and pumping the brakes brought the car back down to a more reasonable speed. Jon took another drag on his smoke and muttered, "Oh, man."
We went up a couple more miles, then turned around for the trip back. I was a little embarrassed; hey, the guy had told me to drive it like I had stolen it, and I was acting like my grandma. I wound it out a little more on the way back, nothing serious, and before we got back to the highway again, Jon said, "Turn in here."
The place is a spectacular park, where huge, building-sized boulders jut out of the landscape like something off one of Roger Dean's Yes albums from the '70s. At 8 a.m., the place was deserted, and we wound our way through a series of very narrow, one-lane roads that lead to a natural amphitheater in the center of the park. The mist was lifting, though droplets of moisture remained on the car and the windshield. Jon and I had both shot in-car photos using a digital camera on the earlier uphill jaunt, and now I wanted him to do some sideways acceleration displays on one of the S-curves. He obliged twice, with the car oversteering severely as the tires hopelessly grappled for traction on the damp uphill road. Great stuff for the camera, though. He pulled up after the second one and opened the passenger-side door.
"Get in, I'll show you how to drive this thing!" he said.
Blasts down the dragstrip or flat out on three-lane highways were one thing; careening down one-lane roads in a boulder-strewn park was another. Still, saying no was out of the question; my valor was at stake!
As everyone knows, riding can be a lot more, er, thrilling than driving. I was still scrambling for the seatbelts as the three carbs took in air with earnest. Now we were at full throttle in Second gear, downhill on a misty stretch of pavement. In Third nothing was visible except the mist, the road, then my life flashing before my eyes. Nowhere to go if there was a problem, and out of the corner of my eye, I spied a late-model Buick easing its way across a rapidly approaching T-intersection.
"Look out, there's a car coming!" I yelled.
My fearful plea not withstanding, Jon had already hit the brakes, the car went a little sideways, then he threw it down into Second for a quick moment. The engine screamed in protest, but the brakes took hold and the car finally slowed down.
You know the feeling you get at the apex of a roller coaster: whatever's coming is going to happen and you can't stop it.
"You have to hear this thing in the tunnel," Jon said.
There's a small tunnel in the park, a single 200-foot bore through solid stone with a big rock wall on the curve at the end of it. We idled up toward it and he hammered it again. This time, the rear wheels were way loose, and as we hit the opening of the bore, I was probably screaming louder than the engine. Once inside, it was like a dyno room. That cliff was looming ahead, immovable, and again all I could picture in my mind was going over the cliff on the other side or watching the fiberglass hood fly through the air as the engine burst through the firewall. My only hope was that Jon had been through this routine before and that no other early risers were tooling down from the other direction.
At the last minute, the engine rpm dropped, then screamed again as Jon put it back into Second. The steering wheel was cocked to one side and 3,800 pounds of Mopar steel accelerated sideways through the apex of the turn. Yep, we were still alive, back on the throttle again, and shooting up to the top parking lot. There Jon slowed it down briefly, then nailed it while twisting the wheel a hard left. The Dana was getting worked out big time as twin streaks of black rubber made a complete circle and then some and smoke boiled from the rear tires and mixed with the mountain mist. Facing the access road, the car fought back as Jon straightened it out, just as a carload of young people in a Honda crested the lot. He didn't miss a beat, and we rocketed back downhill. Once past the tunnel, he stopped, looked at me with a nervous laugh, and said, "You drive it now!"
As I slid back behind the wheel, the Honda rolled up beside us.
"Hey, man, do a burnout. C'mon, let's see that thing go again!"
I could only look them in the eye and shake my head no.
This was quite a fix. The park was getting busier and, let's face it, sound carries in the hills. Now, with all the fun stuff done, I was back in the saddle and figured it would be best to leave before somebody in authority saw the car and instantly put two and two together; I can get tickets well enough on my own, thank you. We idled out a side entrance and took a leisurely jaunt back to the interstate.
Once back to our starting point, I put some gas in the tank and tried to settle down. There were rides I'd taken in high school that scared me, but I think Jon's Six Pack Big Smack had taken the cake. We got on the interstate and I nudged the beast up into the triple digits, but that didn't matter at this point; there was no way I could drive that thing like a go-cart.
How many musclecars and their youthful owners had bought the farm driving stuff like this? The car could definitely perform, but obviously Jon had gotten quite used to that margin and knew where the boundaries lay. On the other hand, my past experience had put cars into telephone poles, stumps, other cars, and upside-down. When I asked him if he had ever piled one of his cars, he shook his head no.
Do I still want an A-12 package car? Oh, yes, yes, indeed! However, on this misty mountain hop, I realized a bit more than I expected: this stuff required some true finesse-R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Melanie's car is a stout package, but Jon told me it's going up for sale to pay for the Prowler they just bought. Personally, I would upgrade to better brakes and tighter steering (including a smaller wheel), but that's just me. In the days these cars were available from the dealership, they were the pinnacle of Mopar's wedge motor package for the street; from personal experience, I can now say this reputation remains untainted.

Part Two Of Our Look At Steering Systems. This Month: Rack-And-Pinion
Rack-and-pinion steering is somewhat different from the steering boxes we looked at in last month's issue. Perhaps the best way to describe it is that it combines the steering box and tie rod, or centerlink, into one unit. It also mounts up front, across the car, either behind the axle centerline or in front of it. This is why you'll hear steering racks referred to as frontsteer and rear-steer racks. Mount a rear-steer unit in front of the axle centerline and the wheels will go left when you steer right, in exactly the same way some steering boxes need to have their internals reversed to work in certain situations.
The steering wheel, through the steering column, is directly connected to the rack, though it may also employ universal joints, a rag joint, or a sliding joint. Inside the rack is a pinion assembly that in turn moves a toothed piston, and this operates the steering gear. The tie rods are connected to each end of the piston.
The advantage of rack-and-pinion steering is that it is more precise than a steering box. There are fewer moving parts, which makes the steering more responsive. Of course, as with boxes, there are the options of manual or power steering. It's also very easy to mess up your frontend geometry when adding a steering rack to an existing frontend, resulting in bumpsteer, though of course this will be eliminated if you opt for one of the many rack-and-pinion retrofit kits we'll go into shortly.
Probably the most used rackand- pinion in hot rodding is the Mustang II unit, if only because the MII IFS, or an aftermarket version thereof, is the most widely used independent frontend, fitting perfectly under most early body styles width-wise.
If a conversion kit is not available for your car and you want to fit a rack-and-pinion, you may be able to fit just a steering rack, or you may opt to change out the whole front suspension. It all depends on the original frontend's geometry and whether a rack will physically fit. If you intend to just swap the rack, there are a few things you should bear in mind if you want your finished car to handle and steer correctly.
We covered bumpsteer in our Geometry Lessons" article back in the October 2007 issue, which explained why the correct location of a non-stock-application steering rack is critical, but we'll briefly recap for those who were asleep at the back of the classroom. As an independent front suspension (be it A-arms or McPherson strut in design) moves up and down, the wheel moves through an arc, pivoting about the lower control arm's inner mounting point. A farther arc is defined by the outer tie-rod end, pivoting about the ball joint inside the steering rack. Where these arcs differ, the tie rod will cause the wheel to move inward or outward, meaning the car will "self-steer" when traveling over bumps, hence the term bumpsteer.
To eliminate the problem, mount the steering rack so the tie rods are parallel with the lower control arm, and-perhaps the most difficult part, as it may involve searching for a particuar-width rack, though custom-width aftermarket racks are available, as we'll see-ensure that the inner pivot point of the control arm and the ball joint inside the steering rack, at the inner end of the tie rod, are the same distance from the chassis centerline. As you can see, the rack will have to be a specific width between the ball joints and mounted in a specific place to work correctly, which is why it is simply impossible to mount a steering rack in some cars using stock suspension. This is where the aftermarket kits come in, though unsurprisingly, they are mainly available for the most popular cars.
Manual Racks
Need a manual rack but can't find one that works in a rear-steer configuration, or is everything you source simply too wide? Then one of Flaming River's custom-made racks could take care of the width issue, with four widths in stock and custom sizes available. The same company's rear steer rack could be the answer to oil pan clearance issues or simply where you need a rear-steer application. There's also a front-steer rack based on the '74-78 Mustang II design for a wide variety of IFS street rod applications.
Maybe you're a billet junkie? Then check out Flaming River's Straight Arrow billet modular rack available in front- or rear-steer configuration. Custom pinion lengths and pivot points are available as well as more than 20 different inner tie rods and several ratios. All that and it's available in left- or right-hand steer, and with standard pillow-block or Mustang II-style mounting brackets.
Power Racks
If you're just after a power rack-and-pinion, not a kit, Flaming River can help you with its new street rod and aftermarket power rack. Gun-drilled for improved performance, it features a unique multiple mounting position and a finned billet pinion housing as well as a chromed tube and aluminum casting. Based on a '74-78 Mustang variablepressure power rack, it'll work with Mustang II suspensions. Rear-steer GM styles are available, too.
AGR Performance can also hook you up with a power rackand- pinion, offering Mustang and hot rod racks with an optional chrome finish, as can Unisteer, with replacement racks for numerous vehicles, as well as custom front- and rear-steer racks.
Perhaps the obvious first choice for a power steering rack conversion, owing to the popularity of the cars, is the '55-57 Chevy. Speedway Motors, CPP, and Flaming River all offer a bolt-in conversion kit, which involves unbolting the original steering box, idler arm, and tie-rod assembly and bolting the new bracketry in place using existing holes. The Speedway version includes tie-rod ends and special fittings that accept AN-style hose ends, and it can be used with most GM power steering pumps. However, it will only fit '55-57 Chevys with small-block engines that have chassis headers and stock-type pan sumps. The necessary universal joints and other parts to hook up the kit are also available from Speedway.
The CPP kit is available in both manual and power versions, and is also a true bolt-in kit. It features a custom-built Saginaw rack-and-pinion that is narrow enough to match the original steering geometry for zero bumpsteer. The standard power kit includes the rack-and-pinion, brackets, outer tie-rod ends, steering arms, and 6 AN line fittings. CPP also has lower column bearing kit to allow the stock steering column to be used with rack-and-pinion.
Flaming River's entry in the bolt-in Tri-Chevy rack-and-pinion market consists of either manual or power racks on a bolt-in cradle, with a number of options from just the rack and cradle, to a comprehensive kit that includes absolutely everything required: the rackand- pinion, cradle, universal joints, power steering pump, bracket and pulley, polished aluminum reservoir, tilt column, swivel floor mount, and all mounting hardware.
You really do have a great choice of bolt-in conversions for your Tri-Chevy, as Eckler Industries and Unisteer also offer such kits. Eckler offers a number of kits, to be precise, depending on whether you have a small- or big-block or want to run a stock steering column or aftermarket tilt column. Eckler's kit works with your Chevy's stock outer tie rod ends and sleeves, the rack-and-pinion mounted in a rear steer configuration like the original setup. This kit does require some exhaust modification, though Eckler can supply headers to rectify this. Unisteer's kit uses a modified Saginaw power rack to geometrically match the stock steering, and comes with the rack, outer tie-rod ends, steering arms, -6 AN banjo line fittings, brackets, and mounting hardware. The bracketry mounts to the existing steering box and idler arm chassis holes. If your Chevy has clearance for the factory centerlink, then you should have clearance for Unisteer's Tri-Five rack.
'55-57 Thunderbird
Flaming River offers a similar setup to its Tri-Five kits for the early T-bird, again complete with everything needed, and with a tilt column that will accept either a stock or aftermarket steering wheel. The difference between the Tri-Five kit and the T-bird is the use of Flaming River's Travel Bar, which connects new tubular inner tie-rod ends at the original pivot points, reducing bumpsteer. The Travel Bar is similar to the versions used on the company's later-model Camaro and Chevelle steering systems. Again, there's no fabrication required, and no welding. This is a bolt-in deal.
Cross Steer
It's not often a completely new product comes to market where it seems the solutions have all been found, but the electronic power steering in our last issue is a case in point, as is the Cross Steer rack-and-pinion shown here. Manufactured by Unisteer and also available through Speedway Motors and CPP, this innovative product is designed to replace a Vega steering box in a cross-steer configuration. This rack-andpinion assembly has a long passenger-side tie rod that connects to the right-hand spindle where the Vega drag link would normally fit. The unit mounts to a bracket that bolts to the existing Vega box mounts, with brackets to suit.
The Cross Steer rack is available in a New Build Kit or a Retro Kit, the latter for those wishing to replace a Vega box, and as such is supplied with a coupler and a section of shaft to hook up the column. The Cross Steer is available for '28-34 Ford frames, though CPP also offers a version for '35-40 frames, with a slower ratio for easier steering. This only works with stock or 2-inch dropped axles, though.
'54-64 Fullsize Fords
Love your '54-64 Ford but hate the steering? You're not alone, which is why Rick Wurth of Wurth-It Designs introduced a bolt-in rackand-pinion conversion kit that uses stock frame holes. Available either with replacement tie-rod ends and steering tubes, or using the drag links and tie rods already on your Ford, the kit offers 3 1/2 turns lock to lock with a rack available at any auto parts store, and will accommodate Ford engines with a front-sump oil pan. The kit includes everything to install the rack-and-pinion, including an intermediate steering shaft and U-joints and metric to -6 AN hose fittings to connect the rack to the power steering pump.
As it seems that anything goes these days and customs are based on increasingly later-model body styles, we've included a few applications for later '60s and early '70s cars. Unisteer can supply a rack-and-pinion kit for small- and big-block A-body Mopars, as well as the '62-67 Chevy II, while Flaming River can sort you out if your pride and joy is a '61-72 Chevy II or Nova. Maybe you have an '82-95 Chevy S-10 chassis under your rod or custom? Well, Unisteer can help you out with a rack-and-pinion conversion for just such an application. A 1960-65 Falcon or Comet light your fire? Then call Unisteer for one of its conversion kits, either power or manual, black or chrome.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's basketball team overcame a nine-point deficit with 17 minutes to play en route to a 85-77 upset of nationally 21st-ranked Wayne State on Thursday (Feb. 20) night in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) action inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldogs and Warriors battled most of the night in a game that featured seven lead changes and came on the heels of a 88-83 Wayne State win earlier this season in a memorable matchup in the Motor City. In the second showdown on Thursday night, Ferris State jumped out to an eight-point lead only six minutes into the game before the Warriors charged back to take a 41-35 halftime lead.
Wayne State started the second half quickly by boosting the lead up to nine points less than three minutes into the frame, but Ferris State responded. FSU scored nine-straight points over a three-plus minute span to tie the game back up with 10:32 to play and eventually surged ahead by three on a pair of free throws from senior guard Sarah DeShone with nine minutes to play.
From there, the two teams exchanged leads until FSU eventually grabbed the advantage for good with seven minutes remaining in the contest. FSU's lead was cut to a single point with 3:48 left, however Ferris State answered with a three-point play from DeShone to push the margin back to four.
Down the stretch, the Bulldogs got a pair of key offensive baskets on drives to the bucket from sophomore guard Destiney Robinson along with a critical three-pointer from sophomore guard Katie Mavis with 1:17 left, which stretched FSU's lead to six points at 79-73. FSU then made six free thorws in the final 49 seconds to secure the victory.
The Bulldogs connected on 18-of-29 (62.1%) field goals in the second half while sinking 11-of-12 (91.7%) free throws in the final 20 minutes of action. Defensively, FSU also limited Wayne State to only 35% shooting in the second frame, including a one-of-six (16.7%) effort behind the three-point stripe.
DeShone paced the Bulldogs with 16 points, which included 15 in the second half. She also added 10 assists in notching a double-double performance and tallied three steals along with three rebounds.
Her performance was aided by Robinson, who netted 14 points and four assists off the bench. FSU also received a solid interior contribution from sophomore forward April Watson with 12 points and a team-high tying six rebounds to go with four blocked shots. Finally, Mavis chipped in 11 points in the win.
The efforts of Robinson, Watson and Mavis were critical as the Bulldogs' top three scorers of DeShone, sophomore guard Dena Droste and sophomore forward Christina Branch were limited to a combined one point in the first half. Droste bounced back to score eight points in the second half, including four free throws in the final minute, while Branch scored four points and also had six rebounds despite battling foul trouble most of the game.
Wayne State was led by standout center Shareta Brown, who totaled 19 points and a game-best 15 boards in a double-double performance. Imari Redfield added to the Warrior cause with 15 points, Jackie Jones scored 12 points and Kayla Bridges totaled 11 points off the bench.
Overall, Ferris State shot 50.8% for the game compared to WSU's 39.7% figure. FSU was five-of-13 (38.5%) beyond the three-point arc and 16-of-18 (88.9%) at the line with Wayne State finishing four-of-10 (40%) from downtown and 19-of-22 (86.4%) at the stripe.
The Warriors owned a slim 39-37 rebounding margin and came up with 18 offensive boards to 12 for the Bulldogs with both teams netting 16 second chance points for the game.
Ferris State managed to outscore Wayne State narrowly by a 17-16 count in points off turnovers after forcing 14 WSU miscues. The Bulldogs had 13 turnovers of their own and totaled nine steals along with eight blocked shots to 10 steals and three blocks for the Warriors.
A large majority of the game's scoring came in the paint where Wayne State held a 44-42 edge, but the Bulldogs held a decisive 43-15 figure in bench production behind the double-digit performances from Robinson, Watson and Mavis.
With the win, the Bulldogs still remain in contention for a potential GLIAC Tournament berth with three games left in the regular season. FSU improved to 8-13 overall and 8-11 in league play with Wayne State dropping to 19-5 overall and 16-4 in conference action.
Ferris State's eight league wins trail Saginaw Valley State, Grand Valley State and Northwood's 11 conference victories for perhaps the final spots in the GLIAC North, but the Bulldogs still have a pair of games against SVSU and a single game versus GVSU left on the regular-season slate.
The Bulldogs will visit Saginaw Valley State on Saturday (Feb. 22) for a 5 p.m. (ET) league tilt inside O'Neill Arena in University Center, Mich. FSU then returns home to host GVSU on Thursday (Feb. 27) at 6 p.m. (ET) before a rescheduled home contest against SVSU next Saturday (March 1) at Wink Arena.

Adult Tool Kit for Health Care Providers
Activity & Nutrition Tool Kit
Health care providers play a crucial role in promoting healthy eating and physical activity habits among our population. Almost two-thirds of Missouri adults are overweight or obese. At the same time only 17.6% received advice about their weight from a doctor, nurse, or other health professional indicating a need for resources for providers to address this issue with their patients.
A collaborative team of Missouri health care leaders called upon their experiences with addressing the growing obesity epidemic to determine what resources to include in this tool kit. Leaders represented health plans, academic medical centers, physician practices and other health care providers, including advance practice nurses and dietitians.
How will this tool kit impact your practice?
This tool kit proposes a model for the assessment and treatment of obesity in clinical practice, including assessment of risk factors for obesity, recommending lifestyle and behavior modifications and instituting pharmacologic therapy or surgery when appropriate. The tool kit resources summarize recommendations from the scientific literature and expert work groups related to adult obesity.

Iowa Beef and he satellite network
by MAURICE L. McGILL/Partner Phots nix
Cattle buyer Wendell Hanson phones information from Held.
An undercover agent listening in
on an orbiting satellite fre-quenicy might first be puzzled by the following:
"Tel-Sat one, this is Tel-Sat base. How are ya, Bob? We need 15 choice-primes for Dakota City Here's the numbers. Choice-prime 3-4, 1,000-1,025 lbs., rated $69.75-70. Choice 2-4, 900-1,050 lbs., $67.50-69.50. Thanks, Bob. Catch ya later."
Such a transmission hasn't hap-pened yet, but it will. Incongruous as
it seems, the beef packing industry-with its images of crowded, noisy cattle yards and platoons of aproned meatcutters-is joining the space age. Tentatively, but surely, a communica-tions project is underway that may revolutionize an industry that has already seen considerable change in the past 20 years.
What is not so surprising is that Iowa Beef Processors, Inc., a firm responsible for many of those changes, is leading the revolution.

JERSEY, CHANNEL ISLANDS--(Marketwire - Jan 31, 2013) -
RANDGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED Incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands Reg. No. 62686 LSE Trading Symbol: RRS Nasdaq Trading Symbol: GOLD ("Randgold Resources" or "Randgold") KIBALI TO CREATE ECONOMIC VALUE FOR WHOLE DRC Lubumbashi, 31 January 2013 - The giant Kibali gold project currently being developed in the Democratic Republic of Congo will bring lasting economic benefits to the whole country, says Randgold Resources chief executive Mark Bristow. Randgold, which owns 45% of the project, is developing and will operate the mine scheduled to produce its first gold by the end of this year. The project is already providing employment to some 6000 Congolese, and 12 Congolese contractors have been appointed to construct the new model village of Kokiza and to maintain the recently upgraded roads around the mine. Some 1800 families have been relocated to date from the mine site to nearby Kokiza, where new houses are being built at the rate of 45 per week. Bristow said this showed the multiplier impact mining could have on emerging economies. Not only will Kibali return about half of its revenue to the state in the form of taxes, royalties and dividends, it will also create substantial economic value through the provision of goods and services as well as generating jobs, transferring skills and uplifting the community through quality of life initiatives. Open pit mining is already underway at Kibali to build up ore stockpiles before the start of production and the plant is also taking shape with the recent installation of the two mills. Development of both underground declines has started and the parallel development of the vertical shaft is progressing well and the first of four hydropower stations which will supply electricity to the mine is under construction. The combined open pit and underground mining operation has an estimated life of 20 years and plans to produce an average of more than 600000 ounces per year between 2014 and 2023, making it one of the largest gold mines in the world."We could not have advanced this project so rapidly had it not been for our productive partnership with the DRC government and the local community," Bristow said. "At a time when the government is reviewing the country's mining code, we trust any changes will not discourage further investment but will reinforce the current code's stability and focus on reducing the administrative burden on the mining industry, promoting investment which would create more economic value and greater tax revenues for the state," Bristow said.

Boxer Gary Mason dies in cycling collision in London
Former British boxing champion Gary Mason has died in a cycling crash in south London.
Mason, 48, was on his bicycle in Sandy Lane South, Wallington, on Thursday morning when he was involved in a collision with a van.
The retired fighter was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and bailed until March pending further inquiries.
The 43-year-old, who was driving a white Vauxhall "combi" van, had stopped at the scene.
Mason is the first person to die in a cycling incident in London in 2011, according to Transport for London.
He fought 38 times as a professional between 1984 and 1994, with 37 wins.
His only defeat was against future world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis at Wembley Arena.
Mason was British champion from January 1989 to March 1991 when he lost to Lewis.
He led a varied life after his boxing career, with a spell as a pundit for Sky Sports and a brief venture with rugby league side London Broncos.
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Frank Bruno said through his agent: "I'm very sorry about his death, particularly the circumstances of how it happened.
"Both of us were plying our trade at an early age and I had a lot of respect for the guy."
Boxing promoter Frank Maloney described Mason as "one of the nice guys of boxing".
"Even if things were going wrong for him, he cheered other people up," he said.
The fight with Lewis ended Mason's career, and Maloney added. "One man's career ended and one man's career went forward.
"Gary was a good heavyweight but he was around at the wrong time, with the likes of Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers were alerted at about 6.15am yesterday to a van in collision with a bicycle on Sandy Lane South, near the junction with Woodcote Road, Wallington.
"The cyclist, aged 48 years, was pronounced dead at the scene."
A post-mortem examination will be held at St Helier Hospital mortuary and an inquest will be opened at Croydon Coroner's Court.

In buildings news, the PSC has granted cost recovery for an automated commercial building benchmarking system, which will facilitate customer awareness and engagement with the EmPOWER energy efficiency programs. Adoption of the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) will make commercial building codes eight percent more efficient, and one percent more so for residential codes.
The legislture passed a law in 2018 the requires developments of 11 or more homes built by the same builder to provide a home buyer with information about energy efficiency options, including a statement that tax credits may be available for various energy efficient upgrades. This law will provide home buyers with transparency about the energy cost of a home an potential for further savings.
