Talking Rica and Miltek = big grin all the way home

Just driven back from Chip Tuning in Bromsgrove back down to Bournemouth with a permanent grin on my face. My car had the Rica 304 upgrade along with the Miltek cat back exhaust.The exhaust gives a lovely deep burble at idle, then nice and quiet when cruising, then a fantastic sound when you floor it.As for the Rica!!!!!!. It's bloody amazing.The car takes off like a missile now.You have to hold on tight if you floor it in second of third then before you know it youv'e flown pass the speed limit.If you are cruising in fifth,drop a gear,floor it and wey hey off you go again. The boost guage now goes off the scale as before it went to two thirds then stopped.Checking the fuel guage i averaged 26.5 mpg on the way back which is bloody brilliant aswell.

Adam and his bears did a great job and even lent me a car while the work was being done on mine.
