My New Ride

[Panda]

Picked up my new car the other day - BF XR6 Turbo.

I have to say it's a damn nice car, better fit and finish, better ride, better power, better handling, better seats, better stereo.....hell, better EVERYTHING than the AU.

I'm lovin' it!

Welcome.. and JUST slightly better improved than the BA MkII T

[doublek]

au, where are you going champ. au, as far as I am concerned, was rubbish. the Expensive Daewoo vt killed it in every way.

Nice ride Panda. Good to see you updated to the ba/bf range

(I remember that you were looking to lease one last year)

Cheers,

Hell yes. Isn't that why everyone buys a T, they're so easy to work.

I went from the VT to the AU. I would say that it was the other way around.

I remember that you were looking to lease one last year

Yes, it is a lease car but I'm going to keep this one, so I don't have to worry about only doing mods that can be undone when I give the car back.

The Good

- the turbo :dance:

- the seats. Nice and snug, and lower than the AU

- the refinement. Finally and Australian built car without squeaks, rattles or other noises. Could hear a mouse fart even when travelling on the highway.

The Bad

- no quad-round headlights

- the accelerator and brake are very close together - I've got big hoofs and I often clip the brake when I am going for the accelerator.

The Mods (to be)

- edit

- carputer. I plan to install a computer in the car to play MP3's, DVD's etc. Also have Satnav, Internet access, games, you name it.

- air intake. Possibly the APS airbox setup (swap the airbox and battery) APS intercooler, plenum change.

- the exhaust. 4" Dump pipe, SMB metal cat, haven't decided on the rest of the system yet.

- lights. Put Phillips 'Plus 50' globes in. Change foglights to driving lights (only come on when on high beam)
