tevita6T Member 138 Member For: 17y 3m 24d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 18/03/09 12:42 AM Share Posted 18/03/09 12:42 AM As it seems, I STILL haven't found myself a car.. Prices on BF2 turbo's dont seem to be any cheaper than some early typhoons. This has got me thinking that maybe a BA typhoon is on the cards.. As I will modify it I thought the typhoon would be a better base to start right? Or is there something that's not so great withearly typhoons?

-MARTY54- Member 124 Member For: 15y 10m 13d Posted 24/03/09 11:37 AM Share Posted 24/03/09 11:37 AM If your an auto man, don't even consider the BA Typhoon. BF XR6T/ZF all the way.Personally I would get the BF. You will get one with half the klms as the Typhoon for probably a similar price, and that 6-speed auto is just so dam good... If the BF2 XR6T isn't already quicker than the Typhoon stock, a flash/tune only will see it nail a BA Typhoon. Further modification potential sways in the BFs favour also.

Further modification potential sways in the BFs favour also.From what I can assume, the threadstarter will be going for a manual...BA Typhoons only came out as BA II's , and there were no automatic typhoons before the BF's. The BA phoons only ever had the 6 speed manual Box. And as we all know the 4 speed box just can't handle power, so they had to wait to get the 6 speed ZF.Auto = Leaning more towards a BF II XR6TManual = Definitely a TyphoonBUT it is your car, so test drive them both and see what you think... They will both respond very very well to mods and are pretty much on par with each other.It comes down to the transmission you want, the aesthetics, How each drives, and if you want an FPV or a Ford...All the best with your search mate,Dan Edited 24/03/09 01:43 PM by NVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the seats/interior much better in the FPV or just minor stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
