vxr50t Member 134 Member For: 12y 21d Posted 26/08/13 01:30 PM Share Posted 26/08/13 01:30 PM Hate to say it mate but the BAs main weak point is the gearbox. My mate had to replace his BA gearbox a while back shortly after buying it and his car is a standard model. I'd aim for a BF for piece of mind Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94828-which-xr6t-to-buy-merged-topic/page/34/#findComment-1419094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BA bottom ends are the same as the early BFs so unless you buy a BF mkII this won't change. The vibration might be an engine mount or exhaust hanger that's chit itself or just a sign the car needs a decent service.

Petefordman Member 4 Member For: 11y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: South sydney Posted 14/09/13 04:54 AM Share Posted 14/09/13 04:54 AM I'm looking to buy an xr6T. I Don't want to spend much more than 10 000 though so I guess im limited to the Ba XrT. Is there much of an accelaration/power difference between the Ba and Fg? Would a simple flashtune make it quicker than the Fg?

If you think you will hammer the car and not have a big budget for maintenance maybe the BA would be the go. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94828-which-xr6t-to-buy-merged-topic/page/34/#findComment-1424951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
