Hi all,
Just had the car Ricad by Volvotuning.Very happy with it so far.It is running aprox 300bhp and 420nm torque .The power delivery is exceptionally smooth and deceiving all the way to 6,250rpm. The speedo just climbs so much faster than it used to. I ran time tests through all the gears before it was Rica d and after .

standard Rica
2nd gear 2nd gear
30mph-50mph 30mph-50mph
4.59 secs 3.14 secs

3rd gear 3rd gear
40-90mph 40-90mph
12.13 secs 9.33 secs

4th gear 4th gear
60-100mph 60-100mph
13.39 secs 10.50 secs

4th gear 4th gear
80-105mph 80-105mph
9.19 secs 5.85 secs

5th gear 5th gear
50-80mph 50-80mph
11.85 secs 14.56 secs

Little dissapointed with the 5 th gear result but,in real life driving ,you would generally drop to another gear.Also these tests were carried out in a geartronic car with aprox 14k on clock with 97ron BP petrol.Standard Turbo,downpipe exhaust and a ITG panel filter.I plan to test these times out again when the car hits 20,000 miles.When i got it ,the car felt quite stuffed up ,reckon it was driven slowly most of the time.
Waiting to have the brakes fitted next Brembo 4 pots allround and 330mm discs.

Will keep you posted.
