actually... wat transmission is the ecoboost fiesta going to be mated to anyway??? can't see much from the fiesta wiki...

manual, cvt or some dual bang tranny???

if some dual bang box again.. i'd say f@g that shit... it's a recipe for trouble (sooner or later)...

dual clatch. Ford Focus and Fiesta currently using it. So far so good that Ford transmission have no problems le.. hardly heard got any big issue like DSG.

hmmm then get manual 1 lo... 6 speeds....

dual clutch transmission... like those exploding VW dsg and stuff like that..

i think for calls their one powershit or something like that... it will really be damn powerful shit if it f@gs up on you...
D@FAG??? wats the difference???
EEhhhhhhrrrr.... fuel saving??? i dunno leh.. it depends on how you drive lar...but if they boost up the damn shit to 120horsies... it could be quite interesting...the smallest one i think only has less than 80 horsies for a 1 lit...

but historically.. i understand the stupid thai ford plant dun make the ecoboost engines... so it means the ecoboost powerplants come from the europe regions which means extra costs which means f@gged up prices if they launch it here... i think thailand put tarak ecoboost 1.0...

all the car makers are stupid nowadays... introduce green engines and at the same time making cars heavier by putting in lots needless crap...ball massaging heated seats lar, keyless entry lar, dunno wat roof lar, 4 zone select to freeze ur balls if you want to aircond lar, multimedia screen that u cannot watch prawn when u drive lar...

f@g those shit lar... throw it all out and lighten the car and increase power to weight ratio... just leave the airbags, abs and sc in place enough adi...automatically make car more efficient... won't get into trouble so easily because it is lighter... 
i seen the current fiesta before.. if it does not shrink in size... it should fit nicely lar... as i said... kelisa that is smaller than the fiesta also can sumbat... why not a fiesta???
i heard a lot of complaints from fiesta owners woh... i think now fiesta no dual clutch right... add in dual clutch... i sked more problem mali...

aiyah... stick to ur myvi la... cheap, safe (trust me, local cars are not that dangerous), and no hurt if it f@cks up...

furthermore... buy ford equals more money spend at SC... cannot run away from servicing at SC because of warranty... and dun wan to void warranty because parts are more expensive (than perodua, at least got taiwan parts mar)...

under or can over a bit??? can over a bit i think maybe got lar... not new ones...
mana cari lar bang... if got also is super far away already...
boss... depend on area lar... if upscale ones.. not possible...

i know hartmas there on the way into segambut, quite deep into the squatters already.. they launched one last year... launching price around RM450k... i dunno the measurements... but it is not small lar... maybe close to 1,000sq ft

been driving for past 6 years... every 5,000km or 3 months goes to Authorised Service centre service, until last 2 years change to 10,000km or 6 months interval...alll services done in 1 authorised centre at PJ, behind Campbell factory.

it's just guide. In fact, i'm looking at Hartamas / Dutamas area.... only second hand lo...

if stay there, cycle to Uptown to joins my P2K gang, can clock more KMs. haha...

ohh... autocraft in seksyen 51???

10k service interval? fully synthetic? myvi ada the bigger fully synthetic oil filter ar??? dangerous dude... better go ask ur service center...

i think hartamas 2nd hand is also not affordable... mostly creep up to 600k already minimal... the one i saw about 3 years ago... kiara 1888 which is very near to the squatters already is 450 per sqft...that is the lowest condo in the whole kiara area... the highest one kiaramas at that time was something like 900 per sqft... easily a cool 2 mil for a unit...and their units are quite large...

nice to see not nice to live... the one i saw under half a mil was not considered kiara or hartamas... forgot what they call it... but once they build the road linking it up... i guess it would be good...
i doubt it will be that cheap... and i am not sure if the ecoboost is going to be even here...
wah vin_ann boss... u ada problem boh...

from ford jump to beemer... might as well go buy a range rover discovery lar... confirm can do everything.. the back can even seat more people with the small little fold down seats although not comfortably...
*
Bingo!

it's recommendation from the service centre wo! I believe in autocraft... although they now separated from the workshop. i always go service once touch 10,000 cun cun... wont go further....

There's still have some below 600k above 500k range property lo... just need to keep eye tight and build up networks with agents...

Ford is #Foreveralone movement ma... smaller car compare with Myvi is still ok.

while Beemer, u no look at the photo carefully meh... haha....

One shop in Sri Petaling selling the older model at RM 320... Whereas I can get the latest model shipped from Germany for much less within 8 days! Therefore I am very tempted to buy online. Throw into the mix... a Continental GP4000S @ RM120 only, how does tat sounds to you?

GP4000S is so yesterday...

i caught some wind on that too... apparently, it looks like Ford is bringing in 2 models for the new fiesta. A new 1.5l i think using the duratec engine and also the 1.0 ecoboost which i think is weird because even thailand does not have it... and apparently.. the ecoboost is to be priced higher than the 1.5 duratec... price wise i am not sure and accuracy of the information also not sure...

if u want it standing up like the beemer add.. i believe, none of the above can do lar... how to even hook the bike to the car floor???
*
argh. pecah dream.

i guess the 1.0L EcoBoost engine is manual only right?

1.0L EcoBoost offers 120PS power while i believe 1.5L offer lower or similar power compared to EcoBoost.

YB Butthead really well connected. All sort of info comes to him. hope your info is accurate then for 1st time Msia beat Thailand for introducing 1.0L EcoBoost engine! thumbup.gif

QUOTE(butthead @ Jul 22 2013, 12:56 PM)
the ecoboost will have more power because it is practically a turbocharged 1.0 vs a naturally aspirated 1.5 mar... so, they are just increasing the volumetric efficiency of the 1.0 instead of relying on increasing displacement on an NA motor to gain more power...

from another point of view... people do think that the engine is just being pushed harder lar... so, if ford did not do all their simulations correctly for the car to suit our crazy weather which can be sometimes hot, dry or humid... the engine would have serious problems if cooling systems are not design to suit the weather here...that is why it would be better to have it localized in thailand first so heat related reliability issues could be sorted out there first instead of landing direct in MY...

i believe it could be some powershift box... like vw's dsg...
haiyar.. dun trust me 100% lar.. i also not confident if my wind is accurate or not one...i haven't go fact check against fork other models to see if their ecoboost offering is more expensive than their duratec models... that would at least give you an guesstimate of their trands...

if tenga related news... then u can trust me... i am their ambassador after all..

for once... i am not proud to beat thailand... i am worried we become lab rats more...

does dsg have any issue in europe? No right.

Volvo is using powershift box too.

yes, there is... if not, why has many countries like US and a few other regions increase DSG warranties for VW from 5 to 10 years?

apart from VW's DSG woes... haven't heard of others...or they jus keep it in wraps...

Lucky our Shinamo and SRAM and Campy have no transmission problem!

training program?

if you're google-ed hard enough, you will be able to see a common program.

for purely cycling - target 300km weekly mileage
for purely running - target at least minimum 42km (with 1 LSD 20KM)
for run & bike - it's important to have "brick training" (run 5km, bike 30km, run 5km) and increase distance slowly.
( set urself target run 30km and bike 200km weekly mileage)

my 2cents.
