ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 05/04/07 12:16 PM Share Posted 05/04/07 12:16 PM Yeah the ZF IS that much better.If you bought the 4speeder, you would only be complaining about making the wrong move. Getting the BF is a great base to build from and save for any mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they started at $43.5k.There are unfortunately very few BF T's for sale in South OZ at the moment, but I would have thought that in the next few months or so that more should start hitting the 2nd hand market. BA wise the market seems to hover at about 20 ~ 30 for sale at any one time. Just for your comparison I picked up one of the few 2nd hand BF's that I have found back in January for $36k. (Bionic, ZF 6speed, luxury pack, Nov '05, 20,000kms). That was from Jarvis Ford Norwood.I can thoroughly recommend the ZF box over the old 4 speed. And the Twin Climate control Luxury pack is worth trying to get over the Leather/premium/manual aircon combo.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFchaser Member 15 Member For: 17y 8m 5d Gender: Male Location: Hunter Posted 08/04/07 07:35 AM Share Posted 08/04/07 07:35 AM Although I am having issues with the auto shift in my BF, which is just a faulty mechanism in the lever, I recommend the 6spd box. I had only 1 condition on buying a T, and that was this box. The 4 spd auto and 5 spd manual in the BA are good for around 350kw at the fly, but problems will arise if you push the envelope. And lets be honest, after a few mods you will be past this figure anyway. If you can afford it then buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
