DMN83D Member 4 Member For: 11y 9m 17d Posted 07/10/13 09:56 AM Share Posted 07/10/13 09:56 AM Hey all. I have always had a wrx, but a growing family has forced me to move to a bigger car. All I can say is... I wish I had a family sooner!! what an amazing car. so much torque, and the 6 speed auto is a cracker!I had done a little research before buying, and was on the look out for a BF mk11, for the stronger internals, as I have plans to lightly modify it. However, a cheap BF mk1 came up and I jumped on it. Now my question is, im aiming for around 300-330rwk with intercooler, exhaust, injectors and tune. Is this safely achievable with the mk1? Also, the owners manual states that my car has a traction control button and a esc button. I can find the ESC button to the left of the steering wheel, but cant find the traction control button. or does it only have ESC?thanks for any help Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86457-new-member-to-the-xr6-scene/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press and hold it will then come up on the dash.Anyway enjoy your stay.

I'm pretty sure that xr6 turbos built after June 2006 all came with the tougher f6 internals that bf mk2s came with So you might be in luck there Mine has the esc button to the left of the steering wheel and that controls both esc and traction There is one way to find out haha :-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86457-new-member-to-the-xr6-scene/#findComment-1431068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a tyre spinning and dirt flicking. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86457-new-member-to-the-xr6-scene/#findComment-1431070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine unfortunately is a may build BF, so pretty sure it doesnt have the good internals :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86457-new-member-to-the-xr6-scene/#findComment-1431081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMN83D Member 4 Member For: 11y 9m 17d Posted 07/10/13 01:18 PM Author Share Posted 07/10/13 01:18 PM I was thinking of taking it to them to give it a once over. As for ESC, it has the button, and the icon matches the ESC icon from the manual, the car with 2 skid lines. No button with the spinning wheel though that the manual states as traction control...
