Wanted Kuga Victoria.

[SpoolMan]

A leading Australian after market vehicle enhancement specialist is looking for a Kuga owner who would like to have there SUV equipped with the following enhancements, suspension, wheels, side-skirts, performance etc, etc.
All warranty work is covered, the Kuga will need to be in Victoria and be prepared to have the SUV photographed for promotions.
This will be financially beneficial to the owner, if you are genuinely interested send me a PM.

This sounds like a good deal.

Out of interest, how much could you lower one of these things?

Will be interesting to see what they can do re performance on this 2.5T 5 pot. Re-mapping has proven difficult on the Mondeo XR5 ( Herrord was unable to crack it) and the RS. JW Racing in the UK now provide tunes via the OBD on the Mondeo with the RS requiring the ECU to be reflashed first.

For some reason though the Focus XR5 (same motor 2.5T) can be custom tuned far easier so must be down to which ECU they use and also how hard they want to lock it down.

I notice that none of the major European tuners have any tune available for the Kuga which is one reason we did not end up getting this car, the other was that the new model has a far better interior but sadly no 2.5T in the new line up.

Moved to Pub, fantastic opportunity for a Forum member to have there Kuga enhanced.

It seems the Kuga has a similar ECU as Mondeo/RS.
And having been to an RS ECU unlocking day, the amount of work to get a tune loaded onto one (ECU has to be completely removed from the car at first) and just how easy it is to ruin one (One was ruined on the day).
I for one am looking forward to seeing what is achieved with a Kuga and what a fantastic opportunity for an owner.
