Hmmm. Im pretty sure all of them had the same internals, and pretty much the whole eng. But I remember the clutches in the manuals were different. Hold on though. Oh and the body kits were all diff. Maybe the computers 2 ?

OK, the F6 Typhoon started with BA2, there was no BA1 typhoon

The change from BA2 to BF was:

- 4 Piston Brakes on the front

- New "Spanish Oak" computer that came with the rest of the BF upgrade (the BA had "black oak" computer)

- ZF 6spd auto as an option (BA had no auto option)

- New Bodykit

- 19" optional Alloy Wheels

The difference between BF1 and BF2 is:

- Thicker sports steering wheel standard

- 19" Alloy wheels standard

- Slight changes to the bumper

- More revisions to the computer in regards to efficiency and emissions

I'm pretty sure that's all. The engine has been the same between the models. The clutch issue was in the first few BA's, the cars were recalled and the clutch changed.

Then in the later 300 BFII the RSpec had ride/handling upgrade - dampeners and shocks...

Also came with other extras std. ie- Leather, different colour rims (I believe), and one or two other things... (Was referred to as the RSpec "Pack" by dealers).. heheh the badge!

BA's and BFI all had PBR brakes with solid discs (I believe) - BFII had slotted and drilled Brembos (or that could be only on the RSpec cant remember)...

Tornado - is the Ute

Typhoon - is the Sedan...

Rspec is limited to 300 only (in all combined offered colours)...

BFII has the sweetest looking front bar out of all Fords ever so far!!!

....I'm pretty sure there were changes to the engine and other 'hang on' bits as well. The exhaust on the BF is definitely different to the BA, I think the BF has two 02 sensors in the exhaust, and I think the camshafts were a different profile as well. A lot of this was to do with EURO3 (or was it EURO4?) emmission compliance.

There are already other threads oin the subject - check there too.

Don't think so - but there was a change to the wheel offsets. BA had diferent offset front and rear. BF doesn't. Interestingly the BF has a narrower rear track as a result! 14mm narrower from memory, and I have also checked this by measurement.
