If its of any help to you this is the official line from the Rica literature on their website:

"This ECM upgrade requires 98 RON super-unleaded in order to achieve the maximum performance and...

You could try adding an octane booster to normal petrol, if your finding it hard to get 99.

Never seen this before

the standard PCV system feeds a small amount of oil thru the turbo pipes anyway, i just used the normal silicone joints/reducers & been fine.

The bumper put up a valiant struggle but I won in the end and managed to fight it out of the mould, I'm just cleaning it up at the moment so I'll post some photo's later on.

no probs mate passed all the time

i'm not sure what its madeof tbh mate, its the one i'm now fitting in the boot so not sure if you can tell from the pics in the BT thread (its not got rusty & got no paint so guess it could well be...

The Pipe with my kit is approx 4 mm Internal Diameter for a tight fit i imagine, as for wiring in guage, i have 3 wires 1 Black (Earth), 2 others, one for 12v Lighting, 1 for 12v Ignition, am i right...

Checked mine at the weekend, due to a thread asking advice on the VOC, whilst changing the engine oil and filter on mine. I had the PCV system renewed by a Volvo main dealer @87k the car has now done...

Clueless mate as that is spot on. All I can think of is the PCV replacement was sub-standard. Other option is to fit a catch-tank.....

Same oil as me, unsure of the heat haze thing, maybe just condensation removing itself :confused:

race dynamics, buddy

i brought some lowering springs, but the back end didn't come down enough so i chopped off 2 coils off the back, handles well, but a bit bumpier, but im well used to it now,lol.

I was undecided on which map to go for the 280 or the 304 as i have an auto, however i got there and after talking to Hamish, who really knows his stuff by the way ( although he can be arrogant with...

I have run mine on all sorts since I had the remap. No real power loss and still boosts past the end stop of the guage.
Dunc. Do some reaserch and if you want to save some cash let me know. If I...

Hey buddy,TC sums it up well. Had mine a few months now although mine is the 280. Best advice is to give Hamish a call. He will be only too happy to answer any qs. The 304 map is apparently more...

If your going to do it then you might as well go the whole hog and get the 304, the only difference being that if you run the 304 on standard unleaded you wont get the same performance, it needs...

Thanks Dunc.
The V40 ones are from here www.platesforcars.co.uk £36.97 IMO there crap quility they dont feel laminated so i dont know how long they will last.
The 182 ones are from here...

Hiya,

in my opinion - yes. I faced the same dilemma when I replaced mine, and a non-genuine Scantech part sadly didn't last nearly enough miles before the balljoint was shot again.

I'm now...

Shame to hear she has failed but at least it's all easyish stuff to sort :)

Braided lines definately worth while ;)

Brake imbalance could be something as simple as the pads sticking in the...

The flexi hoses may be the cause of the imbalance , they can break down on the inside which forces tiny rubber pieces into the calipers (quite rare but i have known it) :)

Depending on the age of it then you could well end up with replacing the lower control arms completely as they're an all-in-one type of thing. If you're happy with standard suspension bushes, then...

here you go dude!!!
