TDCi sedan here...

last time , Tmn Midah SA offer me rm8k for TDCi 2011....

surely 2012 ford focus is coming to our land but i'm bit confident that SDAC will introduce petrol version first..after 1-2 only they come out with turbocharged diesel

most probably we might get ford focus 1.6 ecobossst

1.6eco boost got more power 

after 1-2 only they come out with turbocharged diesel

most probably we might get ford focus 1.6 ecobossst

ecoboast sure won't give u more mileage, if u want better mileage must get diesel... Actually the TDCI 2.0 also very good already lar, go for a test drive 

Lol so how, still dun like the TDCi? 

Huh? A high tire pressure doesn't cause bad FC. It does kill the tires prematurely though besides a noisier stiff ride.

I know right! In fact its quite the contrary. Underinflated tires only give worse mileage. But I tested out my fofi on the Federal, speed all the way back with ETC SP7 with one passenger. FC remained at 8.5l/100km throughout. Usually if I do that alone, the fc will increase around 0.3l/100km... so... I'm quite pleased too haha.

And yes @confuzan, no more bumpy ride, its SOO much better now.   

I haven't inflated my tyres in 7 months. I have no idea exactly how much the pressure is, but judging from the looks, they seem okay.

Im an engineering student so this is quite interesting to me... Maybe overinflated tires offer less frictional rolling resistance due to less surface area contact, but makes up for by increasing moment of inertia... But so far i did some googling everywhere doesnt mention anything that supports my statement. I'll try my next full tank of fuel first.

@baboon- its very important to check ur tire pressure as underinflated tires will increase fc n tire wear drastically. U cant see from just observations as the tire will look d same.

mine is fiesta 1.6hb xtr

The one i saw at autocar is having 163hp from 2.0TDCi 

Keen eye    You did both grounding and vs? I have a bit of jerking sometimes but its much less compared to the last time without any mods. The change of spark plugs help, also the "Electron Power" plug cables which act as a VS helps too.  I think if more grounding points are added it would be better as eric only managed to find 3 points for fiesta 1.6. I would prefer 5 points though.

I have used both products (erictoh's and hotinazma) before and I can tell you that both products work well. Bug Auto is using full set hotinazma (type mr, hot earth and super pocket) while I am using erictoh's. Hotinazma's has either 5 or 8 grounding points (I forgot) compared to my 3 points. Hotinazma is a bit smoother overall IMO maybe due to these factors (I don't have super pocket too). I think you could drop by Cheras area to test drive both our cars if you want =p

But for the price difference, I rather get erictoh's because of budget restriction

Apprarently there are 3 points for auto, and 4 for manual apparently that eric could find. I'm going to ask my friend to find more points for me to ground, I think 5 is optimum. Btw, you need to chip off the paint before doing grounding else the electricity will not conduct properly to your car body.

Did u read the on board computer or manually calculated 1? If manually calculated also get that figure something is not right already, my tdci is much heavier and more powerful yet is getting lower FC than yours

The focus paint finishing is really lousy 

Sometimes i feel 136hp is not enough  , especially when trying to overtake at really high speed ( Above 160km/h ), need more hp 

The hatch is 1440kg ( Damn heavy for a car this size  ), if it's lighter by 200kg then imagine the acceleration

Haha can't see the hp only, it's only 26hp more than my city vtec but the acceleration is way better ( due to 320Nm of torque?  )

U didn't feel the weight when driving this car? That's why it feels so damn solid  , 1440kg is only about 50kg lighter than camry 2.0 and about 150kg more than civic 2.0 

Haha that's why i bought this car as well, put down my deposit right after test drive 

The new city sux, prefer the older 1 more 

Everything is much better, u will be suprise the FC might be better as well 

Just wanna ask you all the max rev you did to your car. My car is still new and I've only tried reaching 5k once, and it sounds good.
