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

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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
