Alexr6tt New Member 9 Member For: 7y 11m 23d Posted 19/12/16 06:54 AM Share Posted 19/12/16 06:54 AM I drove an Fg xr6t today and it blew my socks off had a BF MkII N/a before and I thought that was quick this was completely different. still have to make the decision to go BA or BF. at the moment I am leaning towards BA because cheaper but in the long run I think BF would be? e.g valve springs and having to do auto box eventually.

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 8m 5d Posted 20/12/16 12:53 PM Share Posted 20/12/16 12:53 PM All I will say Alex that these cars are a funny game to play. Paying $10,000 for a clean BF with fat rods or Paying $6,000 for an older BA with skinny rods leaves you $4,000 to put a set of better than stock fat rods in a BA. Also BA tuned to 315rwkw's to 330 rwkw's is still a ball tearing bit of kit and still very safe on the BA rods. So the BF isn't the B all end all that everyone makes out it to be. The auto in the BA well that's a different game again. Probably the advice is be patient the right car will turn up. You just might have to look further abroad. But bring back a stock machine if ya do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZF is the far more superior gearbox than all other auto's before it that I do know. If it's an auto your after it's the one ya want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 8m 5d Posted 20/12/16 01:24 PM Share Posted 20/12/16 01:24 PM Definitely a good idea then. ZF definitely then. Just had a look at the car ya put up for us to have look at , I would very cautious about a car that is claiming to have had a little bit of stuff done to it. 460 kw = roughly 410 rwkw's which dangerous territory for a BA with no bottom end work being done. If it's has built motor you would definitely be saying that in ya ad. Something smells fishy. It may not be but you don't want be the one to find out. Plus the dude's spelling is sh¡t. Haha. Never trust someone who failed English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
