agreed. for remap...TDCI maybe can makan  FD2R up to 200kmh but then surely makan asap after that.

hardware modded + remap maybe can bring TDCi up to 240-250kmh only.

Didn't dare to play top speed as I was actually seriously in a hurry that time.

Surely top speed kalah kaw-kaw as the TDCi stock HP is only 130HP... actually at 180km/h the Type R already started to pull away slowly. But there's always an obstacle infront (lorry slow car etc) so he still has to slow down a lot. That is when the TDCi really shines.

Maybe he thought I want to race with him.. I don't know. But seems like he is in a hurry as well.

By the way my car is stock standard. No remaps.. not even sunat yet LOL. But speed at 200km/h sure is stable though since then I've yet drive the car anymore than 130km/h.

I can hit 210km/h, no issue. Only mod to date is sunat and K&N drop in. With a little bit more road, can probably hit 220km/h.

This car is not "lembik" at all. Not sure why gahpadu mention it is lembik. A few weeks ago, met a Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo, whack the fella kaw kaw. Did the drag test twice, and twice he lost. It was a short distance drag with traffic light in between. Not sure if the fella mod anything, but i did hear it's blow off valve.

Wow... 220km/h maybe later. sweat.gif I don't have balls for such speed. Though 200km/h is just like 140km/h in a Gen.2.

No shaking or any feeling like I'm risking my life for speed. Very stable. Almost like my friend BMW 325i.

That's (200km/h) the maximum I've ever tried.

At least with a FD2R and RX-8 this Focus TDCi can follow them aggressively (tried it with against a manual RX-8 yesterday) on a flat road (stock no mod.. not even sunat yet). And when it comes to slope / hill Focus TDCi totally owned both FD2R and RX-8.

Not sure if the driver of the FD2R was not pushing his car to the maximum but the RX-8 is (he came asking me about the car). Though I attribute the ability to taking over his car mainly due to the difference of torque between both cars. I might have a hard time if doing it on a flat road.

LOL... where else can get a car that can:

- Chase FD2R and RX-8 which both cars cannot outrun..
- Overtake both on a slight slope..
- Maintaining 200km/h with such stability and ease..

All while maintaining only 5.9l/100km.

Dammmmm awesome...

Go Sime Darby Auto Connexion PJ... ask them around.



Probably got one or two units left.

Awesome car.

Just got the car 'sunat' last Thursday... damn can keep up with Mini Cooper S. I can't imagine how the performance will be after K&N, Mountune Airbox and remap. All mods below RM 4,000 total. Probably can go on par with Golf GTi??

Golf GTi?  doh.gif 

Golf TSi?  thumbup.gif  yes with those things had done.( exhaust mod is a must!!!)

For me..I would go to sunat , K&N, Mountune , Exhaust , Upgrading braking and lastly on remap..

Stock brake not enough to hold the horses

LOL.. I meant TSI.. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Can keep up with TSi already makes me feel satisfied hahahaa... blush.gif blush.gif

turbo diesel always has its limitation as it has lower "max rpm".. Ford TDCi max at 6000rpm and redline at 4000rpm..
dont think its 138hp can go against Golf GTi's 210hp.. dont think it can keep up with Golf Tsi also for century sprint.. (6 speed powrshift vs 7 speed DSG)

but its a great car emphasizing on fuel economy without sacrificing comfort and performance... 300Nm torque is great fun..  nod.gif

I've tried a FD2 and Camry... I felt like this car is much more comfortable in high speed. 150 - 160km/h felt like doing 110km/h only. Camry and FD2 doesn't have this kind of feeling. Maybe this is what they meant by 'continental feeling'? tongue.gif
