    Rica 340 Re-Map

    I was thinking of putting a Rica 340 Chip on my 1998 Auto.... Is this Possible and would i need to do any other Mod's to compensate for the extra Power?

    It already has a Rica 310 on it.

    Would the Auto Box Survive ?

    310 is not the horsepower in reality mate, they are just codes really for the maps, you will need a custom map mate, get a 19t on then map it again, i should of had a drive in yours see what the difference was between a fwd manual to an awd auto

    I find the difference is the AWD feels slow compared to the fwd of the T5-R, but if you look at the speedo it's no slouch, it's just smooth alway the way and that makes it deceptive, just wish I done a couple of runs in Jayneybabes V70R awd at avon when she had it there and seen what time I could get it down to. 1/4 mile probably doesn't suit the car as it really comes into it's own from 90 up and pulls like a train on passed 130 before I back out, I'll play with it again should we get the gearbox sorted sometime soon.
