thommo44au Member 3 Member For: 14y 10m 9d Posted 10/01/10 09:40 AM Share Posted 10/01/10 09:40 AM Hey guys first time post as I only just joined, I put a deposit on this car last week and I just wanted some informed opinions as to whether its an alright deal and whether the T5 will be ok if I dont want to use it as a 1/4 car. Just a nice street car with an eventual mild tune to the mid 200rwkw range. Also wondering a good place in Melbourne to get a pre-purchase check done (was thinking about RACV?)Click here to view car!Thanks for all your help.

Its a weak box man, a good fang and you could be saying bye bye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather and sunroof should look nice.. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 5 speed should be alright, maybe.. I dunno.. but if it does give you issues, just put an FG box in!

Napalm Member 25 Member For: 20y 12d Posted 29/01/10 11:53 PM Share Posted 29/01/10 11:53 PM Guys, I have a BA XR6T 5 spd manual with an edit and stage 1 injectors (rwkw 284) and have had no problems. The car has done 100,000ks been on race track days, drag days and to Qld 5 times. Clutch is starting to go. My only issue has been a steady idle. Driven with common sense you should have no issues.
