Member 227 Member For: 15y 3m 11d Posted 17/06/10 09:05 AM Share Posted 17/06/10 09:05 AM ok guys it is finally time for me to go and buy my first xr6 tubo :D Only problem is I cant seem to find any out there that are in my price range, lolSo I did a bit of reading on this site and decided that a bf mkII would be the way to go, but as I want this in a manual there dont seem to be any out there. My budget would be around 25k. At the moment I dont have any planes to mod it but I plan to keep the car for a few years so I do see mods in the future, nothing majour, would be happy to get the car up to 300 rwkw and that'd be about it. What do you guys think I should do? Would a bf still be alright for what I want? Is my budget alright for what I want? Does anyone know of any unmodded manuals that are out there for sale? I guess if I cant find anything availible in vic I might have to start to look interstate for one Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68836-finally-time-to-buy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna be running this thing at any drags so I dont need to shift as quick as possible Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68836-finally-time-to-buy/#findComment-1017051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 18y 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/06/10 12:05 PM Share Posted 18/06/10 12:05 PM He wants a manual FFS! Mate if 300rwkw is as far as you wanna go you should be able to find a dirt cheap BA MKII well within your price range. Wait for a low kays one to pop up then jump on it.
