BRK Member 361 Member For: 12y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 10/11/12 11:33 PM Share Posted 10/11/12 11:33 PM Try for under 100 but think about what might be knackered and what you will be replacing for the upgrade anyway. Eg _ Clutch, fuel pump, injectors,intercooler,exhaust,turbo housing (needs porting for your power) and if you are going to 400 - the tail shaft if you plant to beat up on it...... all gotta go. Suspension should be okay but allow 800 for a drive -in drive out diff bush replacement.100k's is not too bad provided the owner(s) have been good with maintenance and that for me means receipts from a workshop etc. The only other thing I would say as a clue is tyres and mags. If they are fussy, the mags should look good and no Sh*t-Ar*e brands of tyres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm curious as to any differences between the 'blueline' and the normal model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get a 6 speed manual. Or 4 speed auto, but the auto's dont like more than 300 at the treads without modding. 6 speed auto is the bomb, but dont think they came out in BAShuddering brakes are a issue with all falcons, from AU onwards. Be prepared for that one.Never heard of the blueline models.If you do buy a BA, also be prepared to clean the turbo inline filter, or replace it with a Earls jobbie.

Power output.Yours will make roughly 190 - 200 at the tyres, power wise, stock. If you mod it, first batch of mods usually see 260 at the tyres.Stock they make 240kw at the flywheel, but nobody cares about flywheel power. Its all about rear wheel power, or exactly how much power it is making to the road.Then its just a case of how much money you want to spend, versus how much power you want...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping for a bargain at about $27 000 with some good negotiation skills. Is this too far of a stretch?? Should I hold off abit longer and wait a few months into next year to purchase?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
