hi, everyone. just joined this forum few days ago I plan to buy an used BA or BAII XR6T in the near future. so need some advices on this car, especially negative side of the car. 1. I heard from somewhere else that the 4 spd auto box is not good enough, hav to fully rebuild after certain k's (170k ?) am I right? 2. The BA 4 spd auto is better than 5 spd manual? 3. I including BAII in my list mainly because of the 6 spd manual. Coz I really like manual. however, cost is a big concern. sorry to say that but I'm still too young (not P plate btw), I dun really want to invest too much hard earn money on car. 4. is there anything else I need to look at? I heard that the valve might hav some problem in early model, am I right? initially, after I buy the car, I will do some mild modification; mags, CAPA, exhaust, and intake. hopefully can hav 400hp at flywheels or more. however, I hope my car performance level (acceleration) can match E55AMG with 5.4V8 supercharger (am I dreaming?) btw, what is the different between CAPA flash tuner and APS unichip? which one is better? any advice whether I should choose BAII 6 spd manual or BA 4spd auto. As I say before, I dun want to invest too much on car at the moment (may be waiting for the new falcon in 2008) but still want to hav some fun. All I want is the acceleration of the car, which one hav better result (4 auto or 6 manual)? becoz my mission is to blow all the skyline away (excluding GTR ). thanks.
