boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 20y 4d Posted 28/07/14 10:31 PM Share Posted 28/07/14 10:31 PM Guys,I have a BF Mark II XR6T, as a second car which has done about 223,000kms...(totally stock).You guys think a car with that many kms would be able to handle a tune and some injectors without having something fall apart like the transmission etc?Am I asking for trouble by meddling with such a high km car?

Both have rebuilt zf's though. Doesn't mean you will have to but it's something to keep in mind. Unless you have a manual.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 29/07/14 06:19 AM Share Posted 29/07/14 06:19 AM You know I had to post in this thread. Smash the kilometers! I'm at 237,000km now. Tuned at 100,000km. ZF rebuilt and valve springs done at around 200,000km but both of those depend on luck and driving style.
