Haha don't need la, in D mode the transmission is programmed to upshift at around 2k rpm, if u hold it a little longer it can go to 3k++ .. Must adjust driving style if u are coming from petrol, tired of revving the nuts out of petrol but still going no where  wink.gif

i know its a different feeling.
it feels like a supercharger.
whenever you floor it, it just pulls.
tried petrol na and turbo, it always demands 4000k before anything happens.

QUOTE(Madgeiser @ Oct 8 2012, 03:19 PM)
Very true. i step 30% of the gas in each increment. I notice totally flooring it, the pull effect is not as good compared to 30% increment flooring.
I keep my rev to around 2-3k also. Should play with the S mode and rev it to 2.8k then shift, really fun.  rclxms.gif

Thanks! it's a Metro Grey  wub.gif Yea my FLX SE still less than a year old.
Loving the Fofi a lot, a very "calm" car to drive, doesn't feel like driving a small hatchback  brows.gif
I think Ford is the only user of Getrag's DCT, including Fiesta.

perhaps others will use it since ford is a large group of other brands.

QUOTE(alg7_munif @ Oct 8 2012, 08:40 PM)
I went to test the TDCI before and a while after that I went to test the 328i and 320d. Imagine TDCI kind of torque starting below 2k rpm and yet at the same time you can floor it to the redline over 5k rpm for the 328i...

Unless you are really committed to buy the 328i, please don't test drive it. The power of that car is really something. Right after the test drive, I felt that my 2.5L E60 is underpowered when I drove back from the branch. The only reason why I didn't go for it is the 3 series is not as comfortable as the 5 series.
*
i know the 328i and 320d are better but....
x2 the price
x2 328i expensive roadtax
x2 the insurance
x2 the spare parts later

for bmw money i'd rather go for something like Subaru Legacy 2.5GT drool.gif

i'm targeting the all new focus  icon_rolleyes.gif

thats a good car no doubt about it.
just isn't brutal enough for me.
but very good package killing the ugly new civic, altis died sometime back with sylphy, and is cheaper than a golf, good buy, but might lose out to a jetta being more roomier but gotta pay near to 150k for that.

200hp 450nm? what the.... are u sure? how do it with TDCi? only tune+remap? clutch can tahan?

by the wat, i got few question..
we found out that TDCi sport has sport tuning.. if i ald plan to get tune+remap, then TDCi sedan has same result after tune+remap?

and the ford SA told me if i change to 17"rim then need do tuning again? and if we change 17"rim the warranty will void.. is it true?

slight mod + tuning + remap will spoild the warranty? true or not?

Zenix,

maybe we should bring simchengheng along, so can get bulk discount again !!  drool.gif

It's definitely impressive performance for the tune and remap. But, after I have thought about it again, the AES is everywhere now and you hardly speeding.  vmad.gif

wanna clarify few thing before i place.my booking on TDCi. it is indeed definitely fun and addicted to drive.

1. is new focus tdci upcoming? if it does coming, i.dont mind wait for it since design, turn light, bluetooth, blis, all will comes together with it.

2. if it does coming, how much the torque roughly? higher or lower than 320nm?

3. when it reach m'sia?

4. estimated price?
*
check with alot of sources the mk3 won't come with TDCI since its gonna be a Euro4 diesel engine, current TDCI is a Euro2 engine. 90% confirm focus tdci the mk2 is the last for malaysia cry.gif

QUOTE(fishmango @ Oct 14 2012, 11:34 PM)

To answer :
1. There should be a new TDCi, but i don't think it will be anytime soon. Maybe 12-24 months times.

2. No idea.

3. No idea. This is entirely on SDAC.

4. Will not be less than RM128,000.  tongue.gif

if its gonna be apple to apple with the new mk3 focus its not gonna be cheap sweat.gif

We should have Euro 4 diesel by 2014 or 2015. The plant to produce the diesel is in the pipeline for construction at Johor. Unless petronas scrap the plan or there is some delay somewhere. That is the current plan.

Why i know you may ask, let's just say i am working in O&G........

Btw, our current diesel is Euro2M.... a slight modified version of Euro2.

euro2m is gooder or badder? blush.gif
