grind New Member 9 Member For: 12y 11m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne - Eastside Posted 13/12/12 10:26 AM Share Posted 13/12/12 10:26 AM Hey guys, Steve from SE suburbs of Melbourne. Just bought myself a 2006 BF Typhoon. I think I'm in love. Been driving my old VR Late model camira for 12 years now and have finally turned to the dark side.Got a few short-term plans for it at the moment. It has a couple of cosmetic issues such as scrapes on the front bumper, small scratch near the drivers door and 2 small trolley dents on the left hand side ($$^&*!@). For 79,500 k's I think I got lucky.It also has a couple of minor scratches near the cup holder which I'm hoping can be touched up with matching paint.Loving the power and overall smoothness & sleekness of it. Sometimes simple things like power windows and a working air-conditioner can really make you smile.Gave it a quick wash last night and just my luck it rained this afternoon. Going to suss out some prices for detailing on the weekend to give it an initial shine as my time will be limited this week.Anyway, here she is. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83199-just-joined-the-fpv-club/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked closely behind there but I think there might be a possible spot. Then I can just turn the key and put my hand on the wheel and trigger the start button without having to reach over. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83199-just-joined-the-fpv-club/#findComment-1336704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really thought about how to patch up the hole yet.

Enjoy it and I reckon leave the starter button IMO, you'll get used to it!!! Admittedly they should have set it up similar to the XR5's (Proximity key and Starter). Nevertheless have fun and welcome to the club!

I think you can rewire the starter back to the key and just leave the button there, theres a guide on here somewhere...
