Quite nice cars though as a daily driver and if you leave it stock it is quite good.

The Focus St is awesome just its FWD....

Also have you seen the (US) Ford Fusion I think if they fit that thing with a properly turbo charged power plant and lower it. The Fusion will be a tuners dream a poor mans BMW.

A lot of Fords are underated with what performance gains you can give them, like now, while our car is in for work we have a chipped diesel, nothing but a chip, no exhaust or anything, and its doing 50 BHP more, its stupidly quick, but not quite as quick as ours

The US needs more Euro cars but still I love small engine cars 2.0L motors blowing v8's out of their pants

A lot of diesels are that way, not just Ford's. A quick drop in chip for a huge gain in horsepower........

Best thing is when you change the compression ratio, you get a LOT more power when you combine it with a chip.

Im now learning to drive in said diesel, its scary stuff, bit too powerful to be honest.

Those things are beasts. My dads freind had a 7.0L Ford Truck with a TTurbo Diesel its a beast if that thing got a few chips some compression ratio changes I think it could hit really high hp. 325 though stock which is quite disappointing...

325 stock and your complaining?..we are having to import to get our 700BHP tuner..Cant beat the Auzzies

ITs a freaking TRUCK thats not even made no more Ford is the only company that sells the big diesels now a days here.

[gman]

Ford sell a lot of mid range diesels here. They are nice motors.

Whats your opinion on the Evo X? What I can't believe for the price the car is well the best at handling

[gman]

Havent had a proper look at that beasty..love evo's though

Have you heard of a company called SCT?..apparently they are big in America, car remaps and the like.

They sell chips right??? The only thing I dislike about the Evo X is the dual exhaust I like the only big one also I saw a blue one day man they are amazing!!!

[gman]

Right man, just checking cuz they do a chip for the focus here 270 BHP with just that, sounds a monster.

Aye, i agree totally, dual exhausts dont always do it for me, and the evo is one of those cars which just screams a single.

270 with a chip nice but what motor are you talking about cause the most common one here is the 2.0L Zetec...

If I do get an Evo X I will strip the dual exaust right away and go single EVO's are just made to be that way...
