FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 15y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 26/01/11 05:07 AM Share Posted 26/01/11 05:07 AM I have a problem and need peoples thoughts...on one side I have a 2008 FPV Typhoon F6 R-spec with leather seats prem sound etc etc the whole lot with standard engine for a listed price of $46k (that needs working on )BUT on the other side I am searching for:an 07/08 BF MK II turbo in shockwave blue with lux pack and premium sound which I will then get tuned and modded with: fuel pump, injectors, perf sparkys, race intake, big cooler (basically a process west kit apart from plenum) and a tranny cooler at this stage. Im not 100% sure on what power I would be looking at @ 12psi.What are your thoughts?? On one hand I could spend ALOT of money on a collectable as only 300 made then tune it which is more $$ or spend less and buy the other then tune.......What should I do?The worst part of this is the misses is trying to make me get the r-spec :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

And for the price you will pay for the R-Spec you will probably be able to get the XRT to 350+.The R-Spec will never be sort after "collectible", they will hold there value slightly better then a standard XRT but that's it. If money isn't an issue go the F6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauges would also be sold too. A little money back I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to pick one up for 25/26. And 10k should get you to 350 I would think.Thought about an FG? I drove an F6 then an FG XRT straight after and there was no comparison, the only thing the F6 had going for it was it's brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I going to tune it and keep it for awhile I need to find the one I want that's why it like finding a needle in a hay stack.Thing is with xr6t I would need to upgrade brakes as well to get cert here in NZ.... BF2 xr6t cars are going for around $28k here then I got suspension..r-spec suspension is meant to be alot better....not too interested in FG, wanted a BF2 because of the phoon parts in it. Nice car + powerful + realible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
