Hey all, I am currently looking at buying an xr6t ute, but due to minimal funds (under 20k) probably only a MKI BA and must be an auto (daily driver, lazy old guy, misses will whinge blah blah blah). Do the utes suffer from any rust issues? I know that the sedans do in the boot area, but I had heard some stories about inside door jams also? Do the same block specs apply for the utes (to sedans) and also builds dates? ie does 06/06 get you the f6 block? I know I wont find one for under 20k but was just curious. I am not looking to make it a drag car and will probably never even race it (too old now) but I did hear a few years ago that the 4 spd auto would not let you stall the motor up beyond a certain rev point, forcing the car into limp mode? If this is true I assume that flash tuning would fix this. Having said that I will not race it (hear we go) I would still enjoy some more grunt. I have read many threads regarding mods but was curious as to the tolerance of the BA bottom end. Is there a set ceiling that you just can't go over? Or does the 4 spd crap itself first? I do understand that tuning has a lot to do with reliability. Thanks in advance guys, sorry for all the noob questions. Matt
