CBXRT Banned 643 Member For: 14y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 17/01/12 02:33 AM Share Posted 17/01/12 02:33 AM (edited) Had a quick look and seems a good price, most seem to be from 22 (high K) up to 30 (for very low K, already modded etc). Whether 25K for the Phoon, which is nearly 10 above a similar klm BFII, is a good buy is another matter.............

bluprinturbo Donating Members 605 Member For: 16y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 17/01/12 08:29 AM Share Posted 17/01/12 08:29 AM FG hands down, no comparison. At the end of the day, a BF is just an upgraged BA. FG got miles of improvements on top ranging from engine(head, plenum etc) to handling, interior and instruments, high output fuel pump, bigger injectors and modern looks. I could go on all day, someone post up more upgrades if they want, its never ending. Who gives a f*ck about the max turbo output. Youll be up for a turbo rebuild sooner rather than later in the BF anyway if it hasnt had the screen done or the oil line checked regularly which most of them dont. The valve springs were carried over from the bf. I get in my mates bf f6 and it feels very dated. Dont get me wrong, awesome car but f*ck going backwards if you can afford an FG. Worlds apart from the B series and I absolutely love mine, never had one single problem with it. Soon to be in a GS hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/01/12 08:38 AM Share Posted 17/01/12 08:38 AM I think It depends on the individual, I had both and I'm consdering going back to the B series. From a modifying perspective I think the BF is a much better option then the FG and the FG isn't worth the extra coin, especially when they will be worth nothing in a year or so anyway.How many BA's are in the 10's compared to the FG's. I hate the ZF too which doesn't help lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you actually want a GS says everything, maybe Ford might give you one for free....lol.I think It depends on the individual, I had both and I'm consdering going back to the B series.

I hate the ZF too which doesn't help lol.A far more unbiased opinion from someone who has also driven both cars and can see the plusses/minuses both ways. There is no right or wrong answer.
