But $1000 sees over 550rwkw. What does $1000 buy you on a ZF.. About 2/3rds of fark all unless you did it yourself and knew what you were doing. The manual might be the cheaper one to upgrade, but it won't be if your car isn't a manual to start with. In the spirit of this thread, which is talking about a "stock zf", stock for stock the zf is better. I can see your viewpoint but this aint the "which is cheaper to upgrade, auto or manual?" thread.

I drive like miss daisy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6Twannabe Member 21 Member For: 11y 11m 18d Posted 16/10/20 02:11 AM Share Posted 16/10/20 02:11 AM sorry to dig up old thread, but thought better than starting a new one about the same thing... 🤷♂️ running BF II XR6t, the turbo is starting to make some bearing noises, so it's almost time to replace... currently making about 365rwkws, but thinking when I replace turbo might go a retune with E85 in hopes to reach 430+... car's done about 115,000kms all up, but the ZF was serviced with new genuine oil (and coolant lines) about 5,000kms ago... which fixed the flaring issue I wax experiencing in 3rd+ after power was bumped up from 270 to 365rwkws.. since the service though she's been good... OR, do I wait, save some more money and go to an FG model instead - I'm told there's quite a big difference between BF & FG, particularly with the computer and tuning possibilities; engine fart, protecting gearbox better, etc.. thoughts? 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
