MenaceF6 Member 8 Member For: 15y 4m 10d Location: Perth WA Posted 24/07/09 06:03 PM Share Posted 24/07/09 06:03 PM G'day everyone just wanted to introduce myself, I've been browsing these forums for quite a while and now that I've purchased a BF Typhoon I thought it was time to get amongst it. The info I've found on this forum has been extremely valuable leading up to my purchase, it's absolute gold dust.The car in question is a 2006 BF Typhoon, ZF 6 speed, in Menace, it came with a CAPA Flash tuner although I'm not sure if it's been custom tuned or just running generics, the box was purchased from CAPA by INTUNE in Sydney so I've got no idea if the intune guys did a custom tune for a customer or not, that aside the car goes awesome, blows me away every time I go for a drive, the difference between my brothers BAII XR6T and the Typhoon feels like a lot more than 40 KW using the old seat of the pants method.Anyway it didn't take long for the mods bug to bite and after researching this forum and what other people have recommended I purchased some Siemens 60 lbs injectors, a Walbro pump and a HDI Hybrid intercooler kit, although given the chance I probably would of gone for Process West of Rapids Intercooler mainly due to how much R & D those guys have put in to their products. I don't think I'll have to many problems reaching my goal of 280 - 300 reliable and repeatable RWKW once it's all installed and retuned, that job will probably be given to Simon at Xtreme Ford Tuning, I've heard a lot of good reports about there operation on these forums so he'll probably get the jobA big thanks to everyone that posts helpfull information regarding these cars on this forum, you've been a great help leading up to my purchase and I'm sure you will continue to be in the future, hopefully once I've got all my new gear installed and tuned I can get out on some of the WA cruise days.

Good to see one at last. Now when people ask, and they will OFTEN - do you say it's purple, violet or magenta?Enjoy the new ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace, hey, great colour there. I have such a hard time remembering let alone recognising all the subtle differences in Ford colours hahaha.I'll get to eyeball it in person too, seeing as you're in WA WA land. See you on a cruise!!! Speaking of which, we need one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
