About to come off my p's and looking at mods already. Take a read through this, I know I'll be looking at it pretty closely when choosing my mods. Good luck!http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56502-first-mods-thread/ 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86561-new-ba-xr6t/#findComment-1434797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 12y 3m 15d Gender: Not Telling Posted 21/10/13 01:15 AM Share Posted 21/10/13 01:15 AM (edited) I'm on my P's still and own a BA xr6t in WA, no high powered car laws here. I don't recommend it if you plan on giving the car a world of hurt like I do and continue to do. It'll cost you so much in repairs, to the point where I could have found myself in a much newer BF xr6t with the ZF 6 speed automatic! Not saying every BA is going to be BAd but yeah if you'd like a long list of what I've had to battle with over the past 30,000 kms bringing me up to 160,000 ish now then please ask.

You may make < 240rw because your valve springs are too soft.
