Also, I don't really plan on making it anything past mid 300'skw. I read of FB, a guy for the life of him couldn't find a manual F6 anywhere..Nothing within my price range :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBilateral Member 25 Member For: 10y 7m 5d Posted 30/04/14 08:47 AM Author Share Posted 30/04/14 08:47 AM SO just a bit of an update.I decided that if I can pick up an F6 for around the 30k mark then I will. Overall if I decide to pick up a car, an F6 would be something that I'd be more inclined to keep for a longer amount of time than an XR6T.I understand that I could probably pick up an XR6T for less and mod it up to make more power then a F6 BUT the F6 is just built stronger from what I read and personally looks so sexy. I've also decided to go ZF Auto (Drove a Toyota with its Sequential Shifting and was amazingly fun so I'm gonna guess that its very similar to the ZF). It also gives me more choice with cars and less expensive. If I did decide to go for an F6, what are somethings I should be weary about?Heard the brakes and diff bushes are an issue with them, anything else?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
