IEATU Member 15 Member For: 19y 5m 11d Posted 16/04/05 03:37 AM Share Posted 16/04/05 03:37 AM Gday everyoneNew to the turbo piston world. I own the rx7 IEATU, and now a proud owner of a BA XR6 turbo ute. Ill be reading threw these forums for advice as I dont know sh*t about piston engines, just mainly rotarys. Coon I bought is a White mk2 XR6t in auto, I did want the manual but I got a really good deal on the auto, I know this is off topic but are there any things I should look out for ? I read that not many people reccomend getting ford to service them ? Thanks and I hope to wish you all in the not to distance futureReece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that since you got a mk2 most problems will be non existent Enjoy the forums EDIT: jsut read your sig for the 1/4 mile time.... have you run an 11 yet??

BA is the rotary recovery ute the rx sounds like a machine.... let us know how you go with all the new goodies on it....surely you will get the bug to modify the ute too.... if nothing else, just get the edit, injectors, remove centre muffler and get a custom tune... total cost around $2000 and you will have two great cars.... one for the track and one that can carry the bas*ard home at warp speed if it happens to break down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure every little thing on a XRT has been mentioned on the site.....Going the auto aint so bad. Ive had mine for just over 6months and have had no drama's at all.Good luck with the ute and a few pic's would be good cikas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
