seems fair.. seeing as its just been sitting in garage. will have to make sure the ute definately sells first

Hi guys Would like to know roughly what a 2nd hand APS exhaust is worth?? 3.5" stainless into twin 2.5"

so as of tonight... I'm a step closer to gettin into a BF1.. have come to an agreement with a guy wanting to buy.>> just waiting on inspection and deposit for it to be a definate..

so guys.. whats with all the hype about the ZF 6 speed?? its almost enough to make me go out and buy one!! having only driven the 6 speed manual I have no idea.. but if all goes well I maybe up for a BF series soon enough. So wats so good about the ZF?? I'm an absolute fan of manuals, feels like I have more control over the car..

sorry, wasnt clear.. the point of the post was basically..>> BF 1's could have the stronger bottom end right?? And and 08/06 build would fall into that category right?

Nulon 10-40, great stuff!!

Hi everyone With regard to BF mk1's, what was the final build date in 2006 before BF2 started?? Is it possible that BF1's got typhoon bottom end. Only reason I ask is I have found a BF1 at a good price with a claimed build date of 8/06...

welcome Steve.. Good to see another new member! plenty of information and good people on here mate

great looking car at that height!!

After searching last night, I couldnt find a difinitive answer to my question. Roughly how much would it cost to have rods installed in a BA mk2?? Would you suggest anything else to help stregthen bottom end? Bearings? I dont want massive power, I just want it to be able to handle the power that a standard bottom end would be at its limits. Suggestions on brands??

just out of curiosity.. where was this car crashed? anybody have any idea?

looks the goods bud!

hopefully I can make this cruise, missed the last one due to work.. And car might sell before this one, either way im hoping for the best!

yeh Welcome Chris!... I too am a QLDer.. currently have a T ute also! You'll find this forum really helpful for technical info (explained well) or even just random chatter! have fun

jees... whats with cars and catching fire lately. Did anybody else see the thing on the new couple of nights ago about all the Jeep cherokees spontaneously combusting?? weird.. :S

Is that on a standard BA bottom end? I dont/ wont drive like a maniac when I get a tune but would like to know when I give it a boot that it wont sh*t itself!.. hehe

hahaha sucks to be him!!.. but yeh, serves him right. young and stupid

haha I know what u mean bud.. I've finally got all my goodies together, just waiting on funds to get installation and tune!!

I'm pretty sure BFII's are late 06 dated mate; if I'm wrong someone will definately correct me!! As for valve springs, in your later model falcons I dont think they're as much of an issue as in the BAMK1's and II's. Although, going through some threads people with BAMK2 standard valve springs are pulling good power and some aren't. Long short of it all, its a worth while mod because you cant tell if you need them or not until you start tuning and they've come down alot in price lately as well! Hope this helps:)

For all those BA owners running close to 300rwKw(or more); how long you been running that kind of power?? reliability??

so what sort of power is safe with the ZF gear box? and then what are the steps after that to keep it from blowing etc?

So I have been looking round; now just thinking BF2 turbo or late model BF T. Insurance will be affordable! I'm only really wanting the stronger bottom end, BA typhoon was comparable in price that's all. Wheres all the manual BF's? can only find auto's, for those that have them, how good are the ZF6 speeds?

interesting points; got me thinking now...not in a big rush, so I will continue to look and read more.. Thanks again guys

thanks for quick replies guys. Yeh I didnt think there was much of a downside lookin at a typhoon. Any problems with the earlier phoons?

HI everyone Just after your thoughts and opinions. Currently I have a BA MK2 turbo ute(late 04 but first registered 05) and have recently been looking at the BA MK2 typhoons. Would it be a worthwhile upgrade? or will the value of the typhoons continue to drop considerably? As for modifying the typhoon, I'd only be looking at 330 or so rwKw. that's pretty safe in a BA typhoon isn't it? Also, typhoon owners; what is insurance like on an FPV? who insures them? Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys/girls
