QUOTE(moon* @ Oct 21 2011, 09:34 AM) ehm.. when i spoke to the manager of the sdac, he sed probably mid year? or even later. IF they bring in the new focus anytime soon, it would be the PETROL version first, den down the road only introduce the TDCI version i think. so tats y i decided to get the tdci now n duwan to wait for it. n besides the white tdci looks super fierce like a raging bull lol. Let's just wait for the ecoboost 1.6 petrol version to be launched This post has been edited by Bliz: Oct 21 2011, 02:21 PM

You must be Seremban, well not really all showroom must have their own test drive car.. The cost is very high.. Thats why usually same dealer will share its test drive unit among its branches.. If you wanna make appointment for test drive and don't mind dropping by KL. I can help you arrange.

what about below the chassis? I'm currently using kx-f3 (taiwan brand) but I still want to add an UR anti-roll bar...

Don't have any plans for more bar for now. Wide tyres already make the car damn stable. If I am getting more, it would be the rear ARB and the front ARB in that order. But don't really need it right now and to be truth, scared the ride getting too hard.
If you still haven't upgrade your rims, I recommend you to do that 1st. Since no matter how strong/solid the chassis is, the handling is still limited by your tyres.
Just my 2 cents.

I feel that 195/50/16 is a decent size for powersliding sometimes... What i need is a stiffer ride though. From what I gathered it is most probably the suspension. But to change that is super costly...

I didn't know you do powerslides.
Anyways, it is possible to strengthen you chassis to the max with all the bars. Unless you have done that, then only go the suspension way.
That is certainly the most expensive solution, H&R Cup kit set is already RM4000.
But I am really curious for what you need that stiff of a ride? Taking it to the tracks?

Nop... just personal interest ahahaha... I'm doing a Mechanical Engineering Degree and I have recently taken up an interest in cars. Besides all my housemates are pretty knowledgable on performance mods and share the same passion. One of them owns a turbo Satria GTI and he knows his car inside out.
The Fiesta isn't that much of a speed demon, but it is definitely something to play with. Next mod coming in about a week's time. =D

John91, faidz, I notice both of you heavily mod your car on that! I'm tempting also.  But how about the most important part -Jerking? I would think to solved this major problem first....
