I can come and say hello if you like Jim?
The search for more power is an addictive process.

Thanked 192 Times in 160 PostsI love posts like this. When people book their car in and it doesn't matter how much they have read about the product and they acknowledge the power gains, it is the 1st post after the drive back from Bromsgrove that makes me laugh.....
"I knew it would be fast, but WOW - didn't expect to see 7000 rpm in 5th" !!! lol
Good choice getting the RICA, you will not regret it

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsDoes no one on here reccomend the TME upgrade; I've been away for some time from this game but it used to be 'THE' ECU upgrade to have?
It was always considered less aggressive than th RICA upgrade with the power coming in slower but ultimately as good (285bhp).
Just wondered why it never got mentioned anymore?
