cainer Member 4 Member For: 19y 2m 29d Posted 07/02/06 09:50 PM Share Posted 07/02/06 09:50 PM Hey Guys,Well its time to retire my modified VY SS and I have been considering a BF Typoon over the simple upgrade to a LS2 Clubby. I work in a coal mine central queensland so the availability to shop around locally is impossible, I have previouisly just called, done the order and simply flew down and drove home.I am chasing a Rapid BF Typhoon 6 speed with 6 pot Bremobs and 19", what price should I be expecting? I see from both sides of the fence fpv and hsv no-one is paying retail these days so really just looking for a platform to talk to with the dealers. Any insight or information would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23206-bf-phoon-query/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
