    Looking good mate, but far too well prepared. I've had my parents over this weekend, so will have to do the final work to my car next Saturday. All the S60R needs is a quick fluids check, and a wash.

    again not sure I had a pick of 3 when it was mapped (ive had a cradle put in the ecu) its either an absolute 280 or a rica but its alright either way its not too aggressive and seems to be quite smooth!! I can put you on the man that done it,he charges 150 and that's to solder the cradle into ecu then he burns the chips there and then and you choose which map you like!! hes got copys of a couple of known maps (the ones I mentioned) and one for his track car...tbh that one was crap but the life of me I cant remember which of the other two I chose..................im pretty sure its a rica 304
