deanogw New Member 12 Member For: 8y 11m 13d Posted 23/05/16 06:00 PM Author Share Posted 23/05/16 06:00 PM my friend has an audi and well its not very exciting unless I were to buy sometihng like a RS6 which I couldnt insure due to my age. realistically I really dont want to spend more then £10k or 20k AUD as I still have to ship and import it, I have seen alot of autos for around that mark but im after a manual, hoping that cash is king and when I find the right one the owner likes that sort of money in green hundies. when it comes to handling mods I havent really looked to see whats around Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91994-xr6-turbo-or-fpv-tornado/page/2/#findComment-1591897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I JET Member 325 Member For: 12y 3m 28d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 28/05/16 06:20 AM Share Posted 28/05/16 06:20 AM I'm definitely bias ----- but F6 for the win mate. Brembos, nicer interior / exterior / aps twin plate clutch / close ratio 6 speed / 3.73 diff gears.... these are all good things. handling is a touch on the boaty mc boat face side when they are stock.... springs shocks and the addition of a rear sway bar make all the difference.

All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 13y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 28/05/16 07:10 AM Share Posted 28/05/16 07:10 AM (edited) Grab a set of Shockworks coilovers for the front and a 5-link as posted above for the rear and she'll handle like a dream...for a uterus. Something to bear in mind is that the manuals are much harsher on the drivelines with these cars and are prone to more NVH than the equivalent autos. The ZF 6 speed is actually a fantastic auto too...but obviously clutch kicks aren't possible in a ZF haha. Both are fun in their own right though...I actually kinda miss my manual XR6T...but shhh, don't tell these guys...

Really they should have come that way from factory. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91994-xr6-turbo-or-fpv-tornado/page/2/#findComment-1592703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the 5link being expensive but its on par with US prices for similar setups for my 2 mopars 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91994-xr6-turbo-or-fpv-tornado/page/2/#findComment-1592808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
