F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 19y 11m 12d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 13/02/06 03:29 PM Share Posted 13/02/06 03:29 PM I can smell another Pulsar GTi-R on the horizon.The internal temps will kill the little top mount, and it will be affectionatley known as an interwarmer. AWD power sucking driveline to boot, 2.1 tonnes. dayum...Smaller turbo, big boost, lotsa heat. Once the front mount goes in to accomidate the extra heat, it's pressure drop time.I can see one having to spend a large amount of coin to get one up and running nicely, including suspension mods.. Then there's the fuel economy... Atleast there's now a market for second hand XR6 Turbochargers', and wrecked AWD drivelines.. I think a few years might even see an AWD F6.. maybe, one hopesStill nice though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/02/06 07:31 PM Share Posted 13/02/06 07:31 PM It appears to have the same turbo as the xr6t and all so has the same power rating as the new bf xr6t.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars like the GTi-R were great little cars, same as the Celica GT4. They are both cars that 'should' have been, but were too heavy and were dropped by enthusiasts because it cost too much to make them GO.. Mitsubishi GTO is another, AWD, 4WS, all the gadgetry in the world, megga expensive new and now can be imported for 1/12th the original list price. The Nizpro Terry is a great example of what CAN be done with the big girl. But look at the coin that needs to be departed with... The top heavy Terry with easy power under the bonnet, are we going to see a spate of accidents because they handle like your average 4WD?? It's going to be an understeering nightmare with all that weight and the centre of gravity being 4 foot above the blacktop.... Yes I have driven a Terry, and while nice, they are still big and heavy and don't do corners..... Use them as they were intended, maybe give them a small tickle, yes, they will be a fantastic get around vehicle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a tank, and will handle like one and brake like one. It may drive better than a 'nice rig' (Toyota Landcruiser, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi Pajero), but it's no featherweight compared to the XR6/XR8 and FPV's.I have no doubt it will be a great SUV, but getting one to go like a quick sedan is plain dumb. Imagine trying to race one around a race track I don't see any AMG ML55's down the drags or at race tracks.

FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 19y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 14/02/06 09:24 AM Share Posted 14/02/06 09:24 AM Apparently Ford have cast a restrictor bung into the intercooler body to try and keep engine power down and under control due to the lower pressure loss of the shorter neater top mount pipework.I cant wait to get one of these things!im getting one for the misses when they are out Same here.I will just give a little tickle up(EDIT),(ZORST),(CAI) and (INJECTORS) and then see the look on my mates faces as I go totally out of control in the sand at Stradbroke Island and then roll it into a sand dune and right off my self and the car.Just kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The looks, the interior, and when you over take the awesome HP, and its all safe, attractive and will make other people jealous. Its not a dumb idea, its great. Mazda MX5s are a dumb car.
