    Hi there,

    i can supply both BSR and Genuine RICA along with support.

    the bsr is a bit more 'relaxed' giving a progressive power output......

    the rica gives a touch more of a punch on WOT........

    BSR also do the 3" downpipe with sports cat.............

    Don't want to kick off a row. But why do you continually promote HLM's pirated software? It's no different than people offering illegal copies of Vadis.

    perhaps there should be a section for knock of DVD's in the for sale section. How can Chad and others sell Genuine Licensed RICA Software when Mods are promoting pirate versions of the same for 1/2 price

    Tssk.... I have no preferences either way, however if someone is selling something cheap that (as far as I know) they are legaly allowed to do then I will mention it, in the end I'm only trying to help you lot save some money. If one of the other tuners had a cheap remap for sale I would be talking about that instead. Cookie, I don't appreciate your comment, Chris, no I don't want to start an arguement either, so can we let this drop please?.

    No, sorry Tomcat, I won't drop it. It's not about preference to any type of remap. If you want my opinion, any of the stage 1 maps are much a muchness, all seem to be safe, and pretty much give the same results. So, yes whilst I agree that price come into it, service, backup and after care are also an issue, and based on that I would opt for an MTE remap, having dealt with Kalmar Union before, I am very confident that should I ever need help they would be there for me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on that front.

    All that aside a, completely different matter is advertising/promoting/suggesting that someone buys software that is not legitimate. HLM are not an authorised RICA dealer, and no longer purchase RICA software/licenses from RICA. However HLM are still selling RICA 280 and 304 remaps for pre-me7 cars. How? Because it is an illegal copy of a RICA file put onto your ECU. No different than a copy of a dvd movie, a copy of vadis, a copy of any other type of computer software. Just becuase it's cheap, doesn't make it right.

    If you want to enter into a debate about it, then i'm happy to. If you want to 'drop it' then don't reply, lets just leave it at that.

    This is remarkably simple to deal with. An email received from RICA has been published several times on different forums, stating that any software purchased from HLM since some time last year under the name RICA is not genuine. Therefore, by default, it must be an unauthorised copy.

    As has been said already, this is no different to supplying pirated copies of VADIS. If anyone posts questions about getting hold of VADIS on here, or how to obtain the passwords etc the mods immediately delete them. Odd then, that one of said mods repeatedly promotes the sale of pirated RICA software. Sounds distinctly like hypocrisy to me.

    As far as I'm aware there has been no post made on this website regarding an email from RICA, being as I don't go on T5D5 and I also spend very little time on the VOC how the hell would I know about it?. As I said previously I have no preference for tuning companies, they're all a bloody long way away from me anyway so it makes little difference to me. As for turning this into another argument, I'm really not in the mood.

    Right, Chris your out of order with your last comment towards Pedro.
    Rightly i agree with what he has posted regarding t5d5, pot calling the kettle.......
    You are all very quick to pick holes in vpc, its about time you pointed your observations at other antics

    Regarding the topic at hand though, i have to agree with whats being stated, (even if i am not keen on the way its been presented) I have had in my possesion some facts relating to the so called HLM cheapies for some time, however i cannot blanket ban the discussion of them without proof that they are indeed Rica software. Likely yes it is, but as i dont have proof i cannot act, so if someone is in possesion of such then please forward it to me and i will act on it.

    pjaystar feel free to start a new thread or continue this

    my account password has been changed without my permission or knowledge, i've also tried the "i've forgot my password" function to find out what my password has been changed to but the automatic email has never been sent, that function has either been disabled or my email address changed so i don't recieve it. Banned or removed not sure what the difference is?

    as i say no loss, sorry to the OP that the thread has gone off topic

    How is it out of order? The guy has a problem with something on T5D5, why is he asking me to address it? He logs onto the site all the time, yet he tries to maintain that he's banned and can't post! He's spineless more like.

    I haven't condoned any copyrighted material on T5D5, so how am I a hypocrit?

    Where was I picking holes in VPC?
