    Talking Rica here I come!

    Going to Volvo Tuning on friday and I cant wait . Anybody out there had any problems after fitting apart from getting through front tyres a bit quicker?
    What improvements in fuel economy can i expect?
    Do you lose any low down turbo lag?

    As a man who returned to complain that his RICA upgrade appeared to be deteriorating and suffered the sight of Adam reaching into the driver's footwell and pulling back the Halford's 'Best Quality' Mat from under the accelerator pedal .... I can relate to anyone who may have a coke bottle in a similar position

    talk about embarrassed just wished the ground would open up under me
    anyway, my Dad always told me that honesty was the best policy and I worry that if Adam had seen I'm posting here he may have just shared it with you all, so I got in first
