Ben j New Member 6 Member For: 8y 4m 8d Posted 16/10/16 01:48 AM Share Posted 16/10/16 01:48 AM Hi, I'm a new member from Hobart. Have just bought a BA 1, the car was an automatic but has been swapped fora 5sp. It has a twin 2.5 in cat back, cold air intake, bigger intercooler, turbo smart intake pipe and bov, CAPA flash tuner (98 octane ), 10psi,I ran the car on a local dyno and got 304rwkw @ 6000rpm. I don't know how accurate it was but it's a starting point. Would like to replace valve springs, injectors and pump, plenum and a larger intercooler and piping and a tune - not using the CAPA Who would you recommend for the tune in Hobart? Where to purchase the parts? Can fit the parts myself, not the valve springs, will need these fitted, possibly by the tuner, thanks for the help, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben j New Member 6 Member For: 8y 4m 8d Posted 16/10/16 02:18 AM Author Share Posted 16/10/16 02:18 AM Thanks, will have a read . Might be able to catch up with the cruise on the road, depends on work commitments. A 6sp would be good, the mighty $ might not allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only seen 2 BA xr6t while I was there last week. A sedan in sandy bay and a ute at island tyres in Hobart. Keep us posted with who you use. Be interesting to know who's tuning down there.
