But I still love the BF and can use all the parts I have now, on the current model.Dose anyone know what ECU they are using, and can the capa flash be used on the new model?Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a greater chance of winning the 100 metres in Beijing then there being a twin turbo v6 in the Orion Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, anyone know what the orion model number is called ? I.e. the barra was the ba/bf, surely the orion is not "or" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
