Edit!!



I forgot to put that one, Has minor stone chips and stuff. But it is a 2003 car for 7k, done 121,000 km

Why do you have 2 falcons?

I gotta keep an eye out for those plates too, you know...

And Crille, those cars are pretty common here. Not the fastest or most economical though, but rather big (and heavy).

At least it's a manual, I've seen too many of those full of lazyomatics.

[McGherkin]

Envy. Love aussie muscle

[[TC] Stephen]

Its just a straight 6 lol.

[McGherkin]

Compared to everyone here having inline 4's?

[Knight]

Stephen - I have personal plates im putting on it as a birthday pressie
So good luck finding me

Yea there big and heavy, this has an 2.5" exhaust system and Growler cold air intake and gives it some extra powerrrrr (Flash tune inc. did it said the owner)

Compared to our Ford Territory the falcon feels like an 8.

Dad hates driving it because he says its over powered.

Might take it the eastern creek when they have a wet pan day on and try her.

Also, might hunt around for a nice set of rims, nothing too low because im towing the boat and stuff so i cant really get Low Profiles, and our roads are shit and they get bent with out pot holes.
Maybe ill lower it a inch in the future. Proberly not depends on how it will tow.

He has a 'quattro' version. Normally pushes about 220bhp out of a 1.8l (?) engine. He eh.. did some things to it, and if I remember it correctly from the old forums, it was close to 290 ~ 300.

You remember quite correctly Johan in stock it pushes 225HP out of 1.8l, in last summer it did run on 280+HP but in autumn a have encountered some software issues that caused some hardware probs so it runned only ~250HP. Now software and hardware problems are gone but im running it on low boost atm (componets aren't to software specs). I have ordered one of these and bigger intercooler, in spring new custom software that will take all out. Hoping to brake 300HP whit under 2bars of boost

Heres bit more specs from it (finnish): Clicky

Ive been looking at the water/meth injection for my Cupra (noticed the alcohol injection site in your post) and a lad with a polo GTi has just had it done. seems to have made a world of difference for him!

watermethman Wrote:The new controller arrived this afternoon and so Steve fitted it and put some distilled water in to test it. Worked perfectly and even giving it the beans for quite a while the oil temps stayed under 100oC, which is much better than the 110oC+ I was seeing on spirited runs. The car ran much smoother and felt better at the middle/top of the rev range. Then came the water/meth mix!.....
Holy sh*t!!! it was like sticking another small engine to help mine under the bonnet.With the roads dry in parts today, I was able to give it the full throttle and even at 70mph+ was still getting wheel spin. The middle and top end of the rev range is MUCH stronger than before and Steve says that after a few days it will feel even better.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement

Sounds like fun I shouldnt but need to spend my money on something!

Obligatory pictire as its "show us your ride"



Nothing has changed on it so far. Been quiet gentle with it recently but comming home tonight was giving it some on and off the slip roads and round bends it bloody flies now over and above the law abiding speed limit even more now its had its Jabba map on for a few weeks now.

EDIT: Also special, on the Fiesta ZS you can turn the TC off, the smaller engined ones will be gutless but the 1.6 is what it is. Its cheap to insure and really good fun to drive. Your just used to huge landys thats all You'd probs not like my cupra either.

[Stevo]

Nice jay car looking really smart! Jelly of your cheap insurance on a cheap '1.4' "little" car I bet you wetted your gf pants with it lol

[Mongoose]

lol I know its cheaper than the fez was/would be to insure. =| Admiral have it wrong on thier database the FR 150 is more expensive than the Cupra 180. The GF refused to go in the car when I started talking about getting a fast car but she came and picked it up with me and she hates to say she really likes it. Other day she even commented on how well it handled-And I used to drive the "best handling in class" Fez around like it was on fire!. I have to say ive not pushed the Cupra far on speed or handling counts yet. Its really nice and easy to drive though quickish round corners the Xdiff works really well to keep it on track and pull it round corners. Going to get some 1/4 miles done and some track days maybe once(ahem... if) I get this water meth injection because running the car hard for hours will see crazy high temps in the engine block, the WMI should reduced these by alot.

The power delivery of this car is something else, matched with the DSG its just constant, seemless power that really pulls you. I mean a 2nd attempt on a wetish road 5.6s 0-60( did I post those pics up?) crazy times for a lightly modded map and a induction kit. Thing is though now where other cars might start pulling a lead (hypothetically racing) now at higher speeds they will have a harder time with the added kapow of the remap.

[Johan.]

Yes you posted those pictures about the 0-60 sprint's. Sounds fun though. Saw your-kind-off cupra a few weeks ago, doesnt look to bad in reallife, but its something 'else'.

[Tommi]

I will use water/meth mix for cooling intake temps down, in summer i had over 70C intake temps Additional power is just for extra fun
If you have intake temp probs then water/meth injection is best way to lower it, just remember that you need to remap our ecu for injection to get proper advance from it

[Mike]

An event I done last sunday.

[McGherkin]

TRIPOD, although I suppose it helps the back end round lol

[Fujioshi]

Might of damaged my differential/rear suspension components while messing around the snow . Winter season is over for me

[Cas]

I got the Peugeot nice and dirty today. Gotta love driving through the woods and mud with a French car. It's a shame you can't turn the ESP off permanently.

[[RDSR] Roba]

You can 'drive trough the woods' with a French car?

[Mongoose]

Cas if you really wana turn it off ust pull the fuse for the sensor though it may also effect the ABS ect lol. I know if you did it in a fiesta(had a 1.2 curtesy car while mine was being fettled with) Pulled the Fuse but it also connected to the spedo/rev counter and the ABS

[Vee]

Here's a picture of some crap cars and a Land Rover..

Was that from your first bumming session meet or did you two meet up again?
