Not that I would ever need it but its food for thought. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will end up writing it off. You need to be looking at something in the 300's which is more manageable. Or better still, buy stock and mod yourself. Then you get used to the power increases along the way.Just my opinion of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr3ntmc89 Inactive Members 1 Member For: 11y 11m 26d Posted 25/11/12 03:58 AM Share Posted 25/11/12 03:58 AM (edited) Im looking at buying an XR6T Manual, for general use....not really any track work, just a family car.ill be in the $10k-$15k price bracket, with no more than 150k on the clock, so im looking at roughly ba, ba mk2 and the bf. Are there many major differences between them? Any luxury packs I should aim for or known faults.Ive never owned a Turbo so am pretty new to the scene, ive owned a few v8s but I guess grunty cars and sneezing cars are worlds apart. Pretty keen on this Ford though Edited 25/11/12 04:01 AM by tr3ntmc89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 29d Posted 25/11/12 09:16 AM Share Posted 25/11/12 09:16 AM Ignore BA because both gearboxes are pretty rubbish. BA MKII got the 6 speed manual pretty sure but it may have been BF. So that'll be a fairly big factor to weigh up. Other than that all those models have slightly weaker engines but no issue if you don't plan to mod. In terms of known faults and issues its sort of hit and miss, just need to look over the car. Things like diff bushes being stuffed etc would be things to look for. Generally speaking if the car looks clean and drives nice then you should be alright.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 29d Posted 25/11/12 09:24 AM Share Posted 25/11/12 09:24 AM For your price range I would look at FG's and start standard. You'd be surprised how good the little turbo is on the street! Before I bought mine I was already planning to mod but I've been more than happy with the stock power for the last 4 months and only just planning mods for next year. Plus the FG is much more refined interior wise over B series and the resale of FG will be better than B series in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like them but can't find any nice manuals in good condition with low k's in my budget. I don't want an auto. I have an auto now and its soooooooo boring!! If you know of any for sale let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
