FPV should work the Focus Turbo like what HSV have done with the Holden Astra!

once again for those who dont frequent these parts. FPV have said they will not touch the XR5T unless they do decent amount of modication. and they are not looking at touching it any time soon. They are quite content with whats comming in from overseas. not to mention i think the ST team are doing better than FPV.

FPV will only get their spanners out on the Focus when they start building them here in 2011

Other than put badges on it, HSV hasnt done anything to the Astra.
Its just a Vauxhall Astra VXR from Europe.

That would be good to get a homegrown FPV Focus Down here. could be a good supplement for the RS if we dont get it.

The normal Focus's are built at the south afircan plant,which has not been modified/updated to produce the new version.
The xr5 comes from the german plant (by memory) not the south Africa,which has allready been updated as they supply uk,uk has had new focus since about begining of the year.The rest of the range will get updated in time.
