tracy on the today show talked about this thismorning. Stupid bitch has NFI

Steave: have you seen the new Ford that's coming out

Tracy: oh yes the (looks a paper) FPV F6 Typhoon, a hotted up version of the (looks at paper again) XR6 (looks again) T

Steave: yes it will give the euros a run for there money

Tracy: yes cars are getting to fast, the Typhoon does 100km/h in 2nd

steave: :(

realy these people give me the shits

Hahaha that article just had me laughing in the canteen! Since when has "thrust" been a term for cars...I don't reacall too many falcons having Jet-engines?

It's extremely laughable, once again the ignorant in the population are being warned against cars that can reach in excess of 200Kmh omg! Pffft my corolla could do that, it was no supercar!

The comparison of the torque outputs was quite amusing though...considering the Porsche had a massive power advantage, build quality advantage...and basically the fact it's a way better car that would feel quite stable at "supercar" speeds.

Once again no interesting story to occupy the front page, so let's scare the general public with misinformation.

It's not about top speed, it's how fast you get to the speed limit :(

LOL most cars will do more than that in 2nd!!!!!!

lol i know, that comment pissed me off, they were just trying to use scare tactics like the govenment. 100km/h in 2nd means SFA, my woo (77kw) does 90km/h in 2nd.

they went on to say that Ford won't release it's top speed, and they were going to make it there mission to find out.

my woo (77kw) does 90km/h in 2nd

Yeah that's why Daewoo have folded in Aus,....knocking out those bloody 77Kw supercars...90Kmh that's just *too* fast on Australian roads hahahaha only topped by that rediculously fast Falcon :(

The same thing happened 30 years ago with the Ford GT Phase 3 and Monaro Oz muscle cars, the press kicked up a stink about these rolling "killing machines" and government pressure was applied to stop the manufacture of these cars and the Australian Automobile industry was put back 15 years behind the European, Japanese and American car industries.

Not because of not having fast cars, but because the research and development into getting more power from less energy was not allowed to water down to the family car, meaning we had these gas guzzling cars with no power to drive the kids around.

meh 2 cents

I wonder with a 130kmh speedo if the speed beep beep aleart that you can set would still go all the way out to 190kmh...

How silly can they be!

While on Bris31 last nite on DW motorTV or whatever its called they had some custom built super car, that could do 0-200kmh in 7.8sec, had a top speed over 400kmh, and 1200+hp. But if that car was brought over here for a car show, it would be something the press hailed as being this unbeliveably great car!

And what about Bently Turbo Rs? And even a number of the high powered 4x4s they can motor along pretty quick.

I say they need to pull their heads out of their arse thats just bloody dumb:pissed: , looking at it if Oz falcon can be imported to UK & the US & such how much money would australia make out of it + kicken the shit out of some of the euros :kick: , if they start this shit again like with the GTHO's we will end up even futher behind the 8 ball then what australia is, the biggest prob is not how power full/fast a car is its selling them to a nutter that will push it to the max on public roads but again it comes back to the old one "SAVE IT FOR THE TRACK"

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
