skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 12y 18d Gender: Not Telling Posted 15/03/16 11:16 PM Share Posted 15/03/16 11:16 PM (edited) Ive been looking at BF turbos since january and have been appalled at what is on offer. Many are subject to firesales and are heavily modified. saw a lightning strike BF appear for like 30 seconds and apparently it had 365rwkw listed for $7.5k. another BF listed for the same but 'no service history' and basic mods (injectors, tune) The cracker was one I checked out recently that said in the ad " PAINT IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME AGE ON CERTAIN AREAS, BUT THAT’S EXPECTED ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR.. " when it actually needed a complete respray with comprehensive preperation work required. This one was off its tits with 550HP but the guy won't go lower than 15. he going to struggle to get $10k so that's what I offered....he was asking like $18k. it also had boot rust which was to the worst extent id ever seen in a falcon.

I'll get the wedding paid for first then look at a FG/fg-X or if a majestic F6e pops up I'll see if I can snap it up! They don't come up very often though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen maybe 5 in total, ever, and I do heaps of driving. A couple of those have only been seen because the owners took them on cruises! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
