Vtim 3rd Gear October 9, 2003 Share October 9, 2003 pickup is slow 1.2 ton lar but torque is better stock suspension setup not bad so will most likely stay like unless PG session prove other wise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDIzen Neutral Newbie October 10, 2003 Share October 10, 2003 It's not all from the length. Its more space sideways as well. The Bimmer's problem is that the two suspension towers intrude into the boot space so space is very limited, especially sideways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDIzen Neutral Newbie October 10, 2003 Share October 10, 2003 U kidding? Yr Focus is 1.2 ton? that's only 90kg less than my car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie October 10, 2003 Share October 10, 2003 if better torque... then should be able to 'feel' faster ? guess you'll need to do a few minor mods here and there to overcome the 1.2ton handicap ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raycsk Neutral Newbie October 10, 2003 Share October 10, 2003 Wouldn't the vertical piece flap vigorously during high speed if you DIY ? Sorry for the late reply... Yes I think it will flap but how much it does depends on how far down it projects. I have mine just 3 inches above the ground. I think it will help if you convex the flap (looking from the front) to give it more rigidity and round the ends so as to reduce turbulence induced flapping. I do not recommend using double sided tape casue it does not stock well to plastic. So it might drop off. Using metal may also be a problem cause if you go over humps or park at them concrete kerbs... you migh potentially bend the metal and it might rub against the tyre. Know so cause I tried so... Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
