Or is it a worthwhile swap to make?Any help appreciated!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BA is going backwards in mv view.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though his is an N/A?I'd say it depends on both of the vehicles mate. I have had both a BF XR6 N/A and a BA T, and the T is so much tigher all around. Just a better drive, handles better, goes faster, sounds better...etc.Shame about the weak internals and the rubbish gearbox, but that's the price you have to pay...If the T has a Nizpro 1 kit and an upgraded Gearbox, it sounds like it could be a winner if its a good car...Just check it out and see.Is something like a stock BF MK II T on the cards for you?Cheers and good luck,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 16y 9m 12d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 12/05/09 07:15 AM Share Posted 12/05/09 07:15 AM (edited) True but if the car has been looked after properly (which it very well could've, considering it's probably a forum member's), it would be much more fun just driving a BA T around in stock form (let alone this nizpro'd one) than it would to go blowing $$ building up an NA BF that will never produce anywhere near the same thrills.Different strokes I spose but I'd go with the older turbo'd option if it's in good nick.

That way, from behind everyone will still think its a BF.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
