The Converted Donating Members 344 Member For: 13y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/12/12 11:40 AM Share Posted 08/12/12 11:40 AM (edited) BF's built after a certain month in 06 or 07 had the stronger (Gas) conrods and will handle a little more power. If you dig around on the forum a little, you will find the build date that I'm talking about.As everyone has said, don't bother with a 5 speed manual. They break with stock power. If your goal is 1/4 mile times though, and your pockets are deep enough for rebuilding and strengthening transmissions, get a ZF 6 speed.Edit: also, try to steer clear of cars that have had generic (capa) flash tunes.
