Hey Guys Thanks for all the feed back, unfortunately the budget is pretty tight I would love to go to a BF if I could but I don't think I will get there unless someone is giving one away...................anyone..........no, well it was worth a shot. It is really going to stay pretty stock and be driven every day, so I am not really fussed on turning it into some sort of massive power house, and if I ended up giving it a little more juice I would make sure everything was upgraded so I wouldn't turn my gearbox into little pieces of hot metal. I am in Brissy so if anyone is looking to sell a XR6t then let me know.

I was thinking an auto but I am not overly fussed if I find a reasonable deal I don't really mind either way. I was thinking of just get a custom tune injectors and exhaust done, if I wanted to go any further than that I would probably get a rebuild done as well anyway so I could get the box strengthened up. What sort of issues do the MKI's have with the auto's????

Hey Guys I am about to buy my first XR6T and I noticed there have been a couple of threads that have covered having a first crack at buying one, but most of those are here is a car do you reckon this is a rip off. I just wanted some more general pointers for when I am looking around. So I am looking at the BA MKI or II and just wanted to know from any of you guys who currently have one, things to look out for in the BAs that have done between 60,000ks and 100,000ks. I am looking to pay under 20k and get a nice stocker. I don't really care about interior (leather/cloth) and I have seen you should see if you can get the premium brakes if possible, but I want to know things to look out for that only someone who has experienced or owned one would know. Like drivetrain noise, gearbox clunking, steering issues........pretty much anything that might end up costing me a sh#t load that could be easily missed. I will probably get an RACQ inspection done on it anyway but any pointers would be awesome.

Looks to me like it seems to be if you own a turbo and live in sydney then you have pretty much no chance of getting a reasonable quote. I am 25 the mrs is 24 and I tried 4 different ins. companies and didn't get a single quote that was over 700 a year. All I can say is thank god I live in Brisbane!!!
