Should make it clear that I don't think these are Genuine Rica chips. If you do a search you will find loads and loads of posts and threads regarding Hamish's Chips! (These were definately what you were refering to though Hulk)

yeah i herd that he was doing rica remaps for £150
so they are not real rica then?
has anybody got a hamish remap? is it any good? or is it just that he has the rica software and has made a copy of it to then sell. if thats the case then maybe its the same as a rica but it just dont have the licenced name on it.
if that makes any sence LOL

Probably just me, but looking over the site i can't see Rica written anywhere. But if it is the rica software then thats alot cheaper than my local dealer quoted me. He does it for £360.

I have one of these fitted to my car, and I'm happy with it for just now.

You should also contact Don at Kalmar Union as he is doing a good deal on the MTE software, think it's £295 or thereabouts.
