i'd hope so given one the technological advancements in the last 17 years! haha

Only thing that put me off the GT was the interior was nowhere near the standard of the price tag, i know the engine etc is first rate but its about the whole package for me. Even HSV have grasped that given the level of there interiors is far superior to fpvs.

i personallly thing that was what held it back in terms of sales.

Yeah the interior is from 2008 (FG) though you have to remember, in terms of price can't have it all for that price :P

Performance is insane though for the GS price, to get something else with comparable power new would need to spend a pretty penny. /fordlineaustralia

Hows your new beast going anyway man? Gotta love dat dere new car smell.

No one can complain about expensive cars with bad interiors until you've driven a lotus lol

Speaking of illegal things out of the factory... theres just so many. licence plates off centre at the front of the car, fixed-back seats, the number of clicks on handbrake, exhaust noise levels (Maserati first to come to mind)

86 interior is pretty cool; buttons in all the right places...you feel at home in 2 minutes. Surprisingly comfortable for such a small car, and to accommodate 6'3 with room to boot.

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
