The same also applies if you opt to have your RICA upgrade installed at your RICA agent, without the RICA iSoftloader.
What a D!ck Ed.

This is simply not true. I am the customer mole mentions and I can state as fact rica could not incorporate volvo software dealer updates onto my car. now got mte and they could incorporate the updates. 2 months of to and fro and nothing to show for it. can't fault the effort put in by my rica agent but the mapping was simply dreadful. lambda 0.97-1.0(rica stage 1,2 &3) all way to rev limit. no good I am afraid. go mte not rica.
now got fuelling spot on at first attempt. now runs 0.83-0.88 lambda with mte.
I am dissappointed you mislead customers like this adam when you and rica simply cannot do what you say you can do.

Have never heard about RICA so cant even comment it but here in Sweden MTE have a good reputation and BSR is quite ok but the most famous Volvo tuner here are probably Autotech and i dont know if they have any supplier in the UK.
MTE or Autotech would be my first choice.

There is a few Youtube clips with Autotech tuned cars and Autotech also have a PPC units.

Adam, would you kindly refrain from sarcasm and belittling other traders on this forum. Your Trader account is here for you to offer your services to our members, not to attack, denigrate and humiliate your competition, equally your comments must be accurate and truthful or your Trader status will be revoked.

Perhaps now you would like to truthfully answer the question about the RICA iSoftloaders ability?

Perhaps he should refrain from posting until such time as he does so?

Additionally when Adam was granted Trader status it was to promote his Turbo Tuner product and not Rica. Your second account of "rica" that you registered without asking or authority was banned.

That'll be forever then, as the guy couldn't tell the truth if his life depended upon it.

Lies, Deceit and giving politician answers and play on words, is his and rica's usual business practices.

I mean, the guy and rica even bulls**ted about his TT and RICA websites being hosted from the exact same internet server (let alone the PPC issue with RICA having the possibility to have turned them off at will and made them into useless bricks)

If it's black, you can guarantee Adam and RICA would describe it either as slightly grey, or more than likely the exact opposite as white - even though you know damn well that it's black...

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.... it's a F**KING DUCK!



As more time goes by, and more people have access to the right tools and the right (non tied in, best buddies vpcuk site) - rica maps, and adam weber are being exposed as incompetent, deceitful, and not only that, as supplying absolutely shoite unfit for purpose maps.

So in THAT case - why is he being allowed to promote RICA at every turn <rolls eyes>

I think we were being generous and giving him a bit of grace...but since it doesn't seem like he can manage to conduct himself like an adult... privilege revoked!

cheers
