my only input is(and i know i am generalising buts its true for me) that in recent months i can say that the only standout group of wankers on the road drive ford territorys!!!

i think the whole sports 4wd thing has gotten to their heads and they have something to prove!

so i guess u will be one of them soon :D

top gear tested them against eachother, and 1 other car as well i think....the focus has the power over it, but i think maybe lacked the handling....still competes with the rexy though...which would more than likely see it shit on the astra or whatever...

lol @ siksII... The other half will be driving it 99% of the time.

Give it a few tweaks, and it should be sitting side by side with you while I tow the boat.. lol :P

Even the Focus XR5 (5cylinder 2.5ltr turbo) appears to be quite a good thing.. Just a pitty its fwd only. :D

I think ford has realised people love performance.. Not slow lazy AU's. :D

The engine for that focus is from Volvo

I trhink it's a good thing that Ford have released a turbo version of the Territory. It'd be interesting to see Ford Performance Vehicles do their own version of it too, but I think that's probably not going to happen.

What I do think wound be a good idea though would be a turbo variant of the Fairmont Ghia.....

I would much prefer an AWD turbo forrester than an AWD turbo territry. Grab the MRT powerup kit for the forrester and I won't be able to knock the stupid grin off my face ;). Although some of the 400kw upgrades for the XR6 turbo might make the territry, err... interesting to drive! :P

And I would much prefer a RWD XR6 turbo over a RWD Territry turbo.

Nizpro have already been to work on the Turbo Territory.

I am unable to remember the reliable power its putting out but 0-100km/h in 3.7 or 3.8secs and 11.7 1/4 all day every day on street tyres. :rolleyes:

They have slapped the GT stripes down the lower doors, lowered slightly on 20" wheels.

Now thats a family wagon. ;)

The issue with the Forrester is its lack of towing capacity and we NEED 7 seats.

If you have a decent boat you are better off with a Commodore or Falcon. :P

All comes down to needs, when it comes to towing and seating the Territory scrapes in... Just...

I also like the 100series V8 Landcruisers, if any one has driven an auto 5speed they are very nice and rather quick. As quick as my inlaws VN Commodore to be precise.

Some how Toyota have made the big old landcruiser rather fun and responsive to drive. :P

Power: 450kW @ 5800 rpm

Torque: 750nm @ 4250 rpm

Must admit the engine bay looks rather boaring... Prefer the look of the old RB. :rolleyes:

Isn't it nice to dream. ;)

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
