    Smile good job adam!

    Hi all
    got down to vt yesterday to have the s60 t5 rica-d. After a few problems with the car not playing the tuning game, it finally gave in and got the extra power it deserves. The car is awesome in second gear and pulls like a train in fifth on the motorway,cannot wait to wipe the smiles off scooby drivers faces. The car still drives as smooth as ever and the fuel trip meter went up on the way home[avg], even though it got more right pedal than on the way down to vt! It is better to drive now and can recommend the rica download to anyone, many thanks to Adam for not loosing the faith and getting the job done.

    You be careful out there! (ahem) - like I have any room to talk.

    Sounds excellent. Do you know what the issues were (just curious)?

    3rd gear is where the real driving is done. 30 - 80mph - I am sure you'll agree.

    Lets just say. Hamish and Adam will wish to never see my car again when its finished..

    In fact they may stop modifying Volvos forever at this rate PMSL..

    either way, they are doing a 'proper' job and it should be a nice comfortable drive too..

    odd - mine does 72 in second. Third is where the ECU allows max boost and subsequently the most torque - IIRC
